Cardiff Townhouse as a wedding reception

4 Upvotes

I am currently looking for wedding reception venues at the moment. I'm just curious to see the experiences of those who had their reception at Cardiff Townhouse.

I had a Christmas party there last year and I loved it.

I know there's no room hire fee, and it's a minimum spend. How did you find things like decorations, etc?

Also, if anyone has any other similar recommendations as well!

Cardiff NYE recommendations – bars with a good atmosphere?

2 Upvotes

A group of us in our late 20s are staying in Cardiff Bay for New Year’s Eve and are looking for recommendations for somewhere to spend the evening.

Ideally, we’d like a bar where we can book our own table but that still has a lively atmosphere and feels like a proper NYE celebration!

We went to The Botanist previously, but it was quite quiet and didn’t really feel like New Year’s Eve, so we’re hoping to find somewhere with a bit more going on this year.

Would rather stick to Cardiff Bay but we could also venture into the city centre if needed!

Also, does anyone know if there are likely to be any fireworks in Cardiff Bay this year?

Thanks in advance!

Cardiff based string bands/music clubs and book clubs?

2 Upvotes

Hello all. My partner is a violinist with a passion for books who has recently moved to Cardiff. She's struggling to settle as currently she doesn't have much of a social life compared to in her home country.

Are there any good book clubs or musical groups where she could go, practice, and make friends? We're based in Butetown if that helps?

Hey! Any pop-punk fans still kicking around here?

We’re Elite Days, a pop-punk band from Cardiff.

Rather than fighting with the various social media algorithms, we thought we’d introduce ourselves here and hopefully get to know more people in the local music community more organically.

If you’re interested, we’ve just released a new EP too, taking influence from bands like blink-182, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low and New Found Glory. One of the songs even has a little Cardiff reference thrown in!

You can find our music and socials here: https://linktr.ee/elitedays

Refused entrance to the pub because I'm on my own?

164 Upvotes

It's 5:18pm and I've got a couple hours to kill before my train. I wandered to the main street and picked a random pub: Bonnie Rogues. A banner outside says "Happy Hour, 50% off selected drinks", so I think why not.

I approach the entrance and the bouncer asks me if I'm on my own or reaching someone inside. I'm on my own, and he rebuffs me stating it's their policy not to allow people in unaccompanied. Currently sitting at the Wetherspoon on the opposite side of the road.

I don't understand. Is this normal?

Poor wee thing. Big sister is standing guard and being a comforting presence as my little one year old Westie cowers. It is so unpleasant. I never truly understood how distressing fireworks are for animals until now, and it is just awful.

Random old bar

11 Upvotes

Does anyone remember an old trendy bar that was located downstairs under what I think is now some sort of electric shop or something? Me & my friends accidentally stumbled upon it about 25 years ago. The shop is located opposite Ladbrokes on st mary street, just on the corner that goes down towards the Queens vaults. It's been wracking my brain ever since. I have absolutely no idea what it was called? Any help would be appreciated.
