Just click the link for the full list. 

What to do

Flight Club Cardiff

The first rule of Flight Club - don’t stop talking about Flight Club. This fabulous social darts hub is perfect for group get-togethers with friends and family - and it’s only £10 per person. It’s genuinely so much fun and it’s also a great place to have a few drinks over some pizza. If you win big - order one of their giant trophy cocktails.

YO! Sushi School

If you’re looking for affordable (and delicious) activities in Cardiff, why not give YO! Sushi School a try. For just £19.95, you can create tasty salmon sashimi, cucumber maki and crunch cali rolls - which you can absolutely devour afterwards. You’ll also get a few lessons on the history of sushi.

Where to eat

Ciliegino 

Award-winning restaurant, Ciliegeno, is branded as one of the best Italian eateries in Cardiff. Their menu is packed with pizzas and pastas, with all the ingredients sourced from Italy - it doesn’t get more authentic than this. Needless to say, it’s one for your Cardiff bucket list.

Culley’s kitchen And Bar

If you’re planning a visit down Cardiff Bay, then ensure you pop by Culley’s Kitchen and Bar. This food is fab, plus children can dine here for half the price across half term (so no need to break the bank). You can even take advantage of their £30 weekday deal, that includes five nibble plates and two drinks - perfect for an afternoon lunch stop. 

Where to drink

Tonight Josephine Cardiff 

Tonight Josephine is wild, sassy and comes dressed head to toe in pink. Sold yet? Not only is it a fabulous drinking den, but it’s also the best place in the city for pretty pics. With neon signs, killer cocktails and boozy brunches, Tonight Josephine should be the first stop on your trip. Their happy hour allows you to indulge in two cocktails for £12 - you know you want to

The Dead Canary

If you’re looking to try out Cardiff’s blossoming cocktail scene, be sure to stop off at The Dead Canary first. There’s always live jazz music, it’s got an incredible atmosphere and the master mixologists will always look after you. Plus, in true Welsh fashion, the cocktail list is entirely inspired by dragons.
