The majority of popular private bar venues are located in Cardiff’s city centre, particularly around the historic Castle district. This area is home to Cardiff Castle, and an exciting selection of bars, restaurants, and cultural attractions. There are many exciting venues just a short walk from the castle. The area’s proximity to major hotels and shopping centres like St. David’s ensures that your event is both convenient and stylish. The combination of historic charm and contemporary features in the city centre provides an unforgettable backdrop for any occasion, from corporate gatherings to special celebrations.
Cardiff offers a range of venues for private bar events, each catering to different tastes and group sizes. For a more casual atmosphere, Revolución de Cuba Cardiff features a Cuban-inspired setting with live music and a wide selection of rum and cocktails. Brewhouse & Kitchen provides a relaxed pub environment with both indoor and outdoor spaces, ideal for informal events. For a grand option, Cardiff City Stadium offers function rooms and modern facilities that are well-suited for everything from corporate functions to large-scale celebrations.
Booking well in advance is highly recommended, especially for larger events or popular venues in the city centre. Ideally, you should secure your venue at least 3 months ahead of the event. However, for high-demand locations or peak times, such as during the Cardiff International Food & Drink Festival or the Cardiff Festival, booking 6 to 12 months in advance is wise. Early booking ensures you secure your desired venue and get the best rates.
