The Dead Canary

Ok so the drinks are. Amazing, loads of fun and different options. The food was ok only little snacky things, they were good quality but don't think it was ideal for the price, if you want something to snack on just get one as our table got a few. They also have a few wine options if cocktails are not your thing. Finally the staff there are amazing and super helpful. It's a cool experience and environment so will def be going back there...oh did I mention it's a jazz bar! So while I not experienced it yet I be going back for live music 🎵

Awesome awesome awesome! More on the pricier end but definitely worth a visit. It feels like you're part of some secret when you come here. The drinks are absolutely fantastic and the lore behind them makes it really cool. The venue is stunning and the staff are fantastic. One of the few 5 star places in Cardiff! I'd highly recommend this as a date ide

Have visited many times but most recently between Christmas and New Year. Simply put, it is the best bar in Cardiff. Speakeasy style with wildly clashing but achingly cool decor. Eclectic mix of equally cool tunes played at the perfect volume- you can speak and be heard easily without hearing the table next to you, creating an intimate atmosphere. The cocktails are expertly made, beautifully presented and taste delicious. Don't expect to buy a Jug of a pink, fruity and largely tasteless 'cocktail ' for £15- go to Weatherspoons if that's what you're after. You are paying for the finest ingredients, beautifully served by people who genuinely seem to care about giving you something you'll enjoy. Pick from the innovative menu (Drinks made to represent Welsh folklore , with a fabulous story for each drink), ask for a surprise or pick a classic, nothing seems to phase them. Can't image a visit to Cardiff without spending (and occasionally losing) an evening in The Dead Canary. Always worth booking because, as you would expect, it is popular!

Finally got around to visiting Dead Canary and it definitely lived up to expectations! Fantastic drinks with ingredients and combinations that are unique and perfectly crafted. With a detailed, and beautifully ornate menu to choose your drinks from, the staff are more than happy to talk you through the options and help you choose. They will even create something bespoke if you cannot find something you like. With a relaxed, sophisticated, and utterly charming atmosphere I would strongly recommend visiting here. Worth noting as well, that alongside their selection of longer, "milder" cocktails, and the shorter stronger ones, they also have a lovely selection of mocktails for those who aren't drinking or who don't drink. Definitely visiting here again!

This place is very cool. If you don't know where it is, the birdcage on the outside is the only clue. This is an American prohibition era speakeasy, where they serve the best cocktails in Cardiff. The staff are amazing, very knowledgeable and passionate about the place and we felt well looked after. The atmosphere is perfect, with quirky decor and comfy relaxed seating and music and lighting at the right level, that allows you to be in a room full of people but still be in your own private space. They will make you any cocktail, but the menu of their own cocktails, inspired by welsh legends, is a brilliant touch. We weren't sure what to try, but our host was able to give us recommendations based on what drinks we like and they were spot on. The 3 that we tried in our 2-hour tineslot were great, with lots of thought going into the presentation. It's not cheap, but for how good it was, I still found it good value for money. Not somewhere you would go every week, but definitely for special occasions. So for a unique drinking experience in South Wales, you won't beat this.

Our server was very polite and friendly. Wish I’d have taken his name now to note on here but he had a few good recipes of his own up his sleeve and never failed. It’s always a lovely setting inside but make sure you book before you go… even though they’ll do their best to accommodate you, it is easier if you’ve got a table set for you
