    Nice alternative music/lounge pub in the centre of Cardiff. Has some decent different drink choices. Its got alternative comfy seating, the outdoor drinking area is a bit confined. Location wise its only a few minutes from Cardiff central so its not a bad option.

    A welcome relief from all the chains in Cardiff. Gwdihw hasn't changed much over the years but the staff are still friendly, the venue itself is great and the beers are good. Lovely little beer garden out the back too

    Quite a nice place. Very small, so on a busy night it's packed. Been here more than a few times. Great selection of spirits, good selection on larger and a poor selection on ale. They have quite a large smoking area out the back equipped with heater's, seating and shelters. The staff are really friendly. And you'll also see a stage because on regular intervals they will have live bands playing there.

    Funky and eclectic bar what more can you say! Hosts loads of nights such as funk and soul with lots of live bands. Does get very busy as it's quite a small venue but the atmosphere is great and chilled

    Attended one of Gwdihw's last nights at end of January 2019, at least in its present location. It's a fun bar with a mix of music, an OK drink selection, reasonable prices and entry. The crowd was mainly young but with a range of ages, and the music included rappers, inspired DJing and a live band that came on after my bedtime. Sad for Cardiff to lose a solid venue and overall fun place.

    The Gwdihw is a small venue that hits way above its weight; hosting lots of great bands and events. It seems to attract a friendly crowd and there's a good relaxed feel to the place. The drinks are good and not pricy. Well worth a visit.

    Cozy little place with a good crowd. A little tight for a band to play, but good energy anyway.

    Not the best, very run down, sparse selection of drink brands, food we had was cold, seating area in make shift indoor part was outside, it was grim. Staff were nice though, need to fix ladies loo seats. Play music from when youre open too.

    Been going here for 10 years, it's right up there as one of Cardiff 's best venues and the breeding ground for emerging excellence.
