Nice atmosphere, good social distancing in place, shame there was no food available though, only reason we went in.

A feel good place; where the staff really looked after us and kept the mood light. Chris the manager couldn't have done more for us, and the atmosphere was perfect. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good night out (y)

Los porteros nos perdonaron la vida a mí y a mis amigos italianos cuando vieron que no éramos británicos y queríamos acceder al local. Los camarer@s no fueron muy simpáticos. Nos señalaban y hablaban de nosotros. No creo que guardaran modales para estar detrás de una barra. Se lanzaron cubitos y se tiraron refresco. No lo recomiendo. The bouncers were impolite when they realized we were not British and we wanted to access. The waiters were not very friendly. They pointed us and talked about us. I don't think they kept manners to be behind a bar. I do not recommend it.

We had our Xmas party for 38 people there. We booked well in advance, and only needed a small deposit to secure the room. Great communication with the bar from the word go, despite staff changes. Really good communication with the caterer, Ele, too, who was totally happy to accommodate all our requests without quibble or complaint, from dietary preferences to time of delivery. Menu changed after the booking (we were advised at the start that it was only indicative), and on paper, it looked a little disappointing. It wasn't. Christmas hot buffet, brought up to the Big Top room in the attic was tasty and lots of it. Food arrived and was cleared with minimal fuss and effort - just as you'd want. No complaints from anyone in our party re food. 2-for-1 cocktails were simple, but nice, and the barperson was friendly and receptive. Music volume was changed when we asked with no fuss or stress. Had heard bad tales of the toilet facilities, but I can honestly say there was nothing to worry about - it was clear that effort had been made to clean them and keep them clean. From arriving at 2.30 to leaving at 5.30, a great night was had by all. Everyone left at 5.30 in high spirits and smiling - what more can you ask for? Would recommend for a similar function any time.

I want to love this bar but it’s difficult! I have been to this bar several months ago and nearly all the drinks I tried to order they didn’t have the ingredients for. Same happened yesterday “we haven’t got the ingredients for that”. Very off-putting for somewhere that offers a cocktail menu! I was willing to forgive that until I needed the toilet. I have to use disabled facilities where available and wow did I have a shock. Urine all over the seat and back of the bowl, cracked and broken toilet seat, hinges not secure so the seat moves - wouldn’t be acceptable for a general toilet but actually kind of dangerous for a disabled facility! Smelt so bad in there and very unclean, strong urine smell. I checked out the non-disabled facilities and they weren’t much better. I should mention this was around 8.30pm and not particularly busy. If it was heaving and peak time I could understand. It’s a shame because it could be a really decent bar; but it lacks the basics and the lack of bathroom hygiene is just not needed - a clean and a new toilet seat is all it needs!

Went here on Friday evening and had one of the 2for1 cocktails. I ordered two ‘long island ice teas’ but when I tasted them they simply tasted of cola. When I complained and asked for either fresh drinks or my money back I was simply told ‘no’! Unbelievably poor customer service. It was only when I asked to see the manager to explain that he kindly refunded the money. There is a lot of competition out there for your custom in Cardiff. My suggestion is to go somewhere it’ll be appreciated, therefore don’t go to ‘10ft Tall’. Thanks to the manager, but please have a chat to your staff about how rude and impolite they are.

We visited as a family on a busy Saturday evening after the rugby and we had a brilliant time. They accepted music requests, we danced loads (and also had a table for our stuff and so one of us who’s not that mobile could sit down) and had a really fun night! The atmosphere was really nice - just lots of people enjoying their Saturday night. Would definitely come back. Thanks!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kharl and the team at 10 Feet Tall for helping arrange a great 40th birthday party for my husband. I'd asked for a drinks table to be arranged and it looked fantastic, with great pitchers of Long Island Iced Tea which everyone loved. We reserved the Mezzanine area which was a great spot. Manager Kharl was great with finalising arrangements and gave us a lovely welcome. Staff at the bar were also really friendly and efficient. We were a mixed age group of family and friends and everyone had a great night. I would absolutely recommend Ten Feet Tall for a fab party venue and lovely cocktails!

Dear 10feet tall management, i want to advise you to actually do something about your incredibly rude staff that is being mentioned in recent reviews. This person who dare to call himself bartender is repetitively being very rude to me and my friends. I visited on 11th of November, we came by at 17:45, by the information stated here on trip advisor you should've be open. I can understand circumstances that can move opening times. But when i asked the bartender who had served me before with a terrible attitude "is the place open and if not now when will it be?" His reply was, "obviously not, we will be open when were open!" I was shocked and absolutely speechless?! My question was not answered and i was completely dismissed. This bartender missed whole idea of customer service and professionalism.

I was absolutely appalled by the service I received.I ordered a drink and as my wife wanted a strawberry daiquiri with crushed ice I asked the barman if this could b done which he replied ‘no’.I asked again if he could put some crushed ice in it which he then replied ‘no means no’.I’m not going to say what my reply to him was but he was lucky I was out with my wife and he was on the other side of the bar!This place use to be good and that barman needs some up skilling on his customer service or look for a job which doesn’t mean he’s face to face with his customers.Cocktail was average and overpriced.

Used to love this bar but it’s gone down hill fast rude bar staff coupled with even more unpleasant and toxic door staff made it unbearable. Only saving grace was the young lad on the bar who actually cared. Cracking whiskey sours. Guessing he was new and had not had the passion kicked out of him yet by the long haired mop that seemed to be in charge

I booked over the phone for my sisters hen party. I asked what their menu options were and was pointed in the direction of the website. I copied the website link and sent the menu round to all the hens so that they could decide in advance what they wanted to eat. I even had emails where I checked that we were ok to dress up in hen sashes etc while we ate as I know some places are funny about it.

Entered this bar on Thursday 14th @22.15 ask barman any buy 1 get 1 free cocktails, his reply was a straight NO with a bit of attitude, so i ordered 6 drinks which come to £29.27, paid the man and thought about it. Picked a price list up and said you charged me too much, his attitude was disgusting not only to me but the people i was with, then got the door staff to escort us all out, but must say if it was not for a very nice acting manager with a beard who listened and sorted the problem out refunding us with £5.50

What a welcome surprise, friendly staff great food. Simple food but so so tasty, the best chips I've had in years. Even if it wasn't 50% off would off been more than happy with price. If you want a reasonably priced meal and drinks this is the place to come. Would highly recommend

Really nice place for a small party with friends, very good range of drinks and packages to pre order. we celebrate the party in the space just after going upstairs, though the reserved area was smaller than expected, people was quite comfy there. The cheese platter was amazing and also the patatas bravas, the rest of the food was nice too. However, the charcuterie board seemed quite short comparing with what we expected ( suppossely was for up to 10 people) and we notice when checking the las payment receip that there was a mistake in the serving. We told them by email and they gently compensate us inviting to a meal for two and a cocktail. We went by a few weeks after and they really exceeded in compensating us, was an amazing meal, really kind of them. We had been several times also for drinks and the cocktels are one of the best in town, it´s a really nice place to go.

I used to come here so much as I loved the place,food and cocktails and always recommended it to anyone I knew looking for somewhere to dine or drink in Cardiff. However on my most recent trip to Cardiff this all changed. I arrived with a group of people for food and drink. After some nasty words from what appeared to be a manager we left. She has very limited people skills and is by no means an asset to front any business. I feel sorry for the staff working under her as they all seemed friendly and accommodating but this woman had no tact or manners. Gutted to say I've had my last drink there.

Having recently finding the login for this account recently I decided to give a few of my favorite bars in Cardiff a look to see how it fared. I was shocked and saddened to see the group of people having a bad time. These experiences can happen anywhere, and whilst it's not nice to experience I feel the need to defend what I feel is a wonderful part of Cardiff. Whenever I have a friend from out of Cardiff or someone who I haven't seen in a while Ten Feet is my go-to place for a drink. It makes me look like I drink in classier joints than I usually do and the nice, relaxed atmosphere with their brilliant drink menu is one I sometimes prefer.As a promoter of events I have also have had nothing but good experience using Ten Feet Tall, and more recently Big Top. A helpful and insightful events team and my punters made a point of coming to me commenting on how lovely the venue is.

Excellent selection of cocktails ranging from old classics to more contemporary recipes, in addition to a wide selection of craft beer, particularly in the venue upstairs - The Big Top. Cosy and charismatic decor and friendly, attentive bar staff who are happy to help and will gladly make you a variation of drinks that they don't have listen on their menu. The perfect venue for a large range of events from live music, comedy nights and DJ club nights, or simply a quiet weeknight drink.

Had quite an unfortunate experience at this resurant. After being given a bottle of bubbly from a dance class we had attended in the room above the resturant, we proceeded to our table where the bar man kindly came and opened the bottle and provided us with glasses.Unfortunately the pleasant experience came to an abrupt end when the manager appeared and very rudely and aggressively told us it was unacceptable to drink our own bottle!!! There was no need for her tone or attitude and to be honest she spoilt the experience which was a real shame for the Hen who was having a ball.We found somewhere else much more pleasant to eat and resumed our fabulous evening.

We had booked a table here for my hen do as we were attending the burlesque dance class here before, the lady who ran the dance class was lovely and we had so much fun, she also gave us a bottle of champagne!So we asked the bar staff if we could have an ice bucket and some glasses, they were really friendly and bought it to our table and even opened the champagne for us. So we began to pour it out then the manager came over and told us that we weren't allowed to drink the champagne (even though her staff had given us the glasses and opened the bottle!) because it wasn't bought on the premises. We explained it was from the burlesque class that was held on the premises and we were on a hendo, she didn't care and told us WE were TERRIBLE and to drink what we had poured (so not everyone would have had some) we couldn't even save the rest as the cork had been thrown away! So we poured the rest of the drink and left as we didn't want to give our custom having been patronised and spoken to so rudely. Such a shame as we were a large party who would have been having food and many drinks, so in the grand scheme of things one bottle of champers cost them £££.I feel sorry for the staff there, your manager needs to learn some manners and get some customer service skills!

On a hen party for the weekend we booked a table to eat here, which we were all very excited about.

We'd booked to have food and cocktails after attending a burlesque class at the same venue as part of some hen party celebrations. We booked to eat here as it made sense as we were in the same venue and the cocktails had come highly recommend.After the burlesque class, the instructor had kindly given us a bottle of bubbly for our celebrations. We then proceeded to our table and the bartender gave us an ice bucket and glasses and opened the bottle for us. We were then rudely interrupted by a woman who I later was advised by the manager, who told us we couldn't drink the bubbly as it was not purchased on the premises. Whilst I understand the bars policy, the managers attitude was rude, aggressive and patronising and the matter could have been addressed differently by herself. She could clearly see we were on a hen party (and would be spending a considerable amount on food and drink with them) and when I explained to her the situation, she eventually agreed we could drink the bubbly (the majority was already poured) and then proceeded to tell us we were terrible for doing this and that we'd need to place any orders at the bar as they were short staffed.It really put a downer after our wonderful dance class and high expectations of our meal and we were looking forward to lots of tapas, burgers and cocktails. As a group we then decided we had to leave as we didn't feel welcome in an establishment that calls their customers terrible. Not only this, they had booked us the wrong table on the mezzanine rather than in a private area under the stairs as discussed when the reservation was made and the toilets were vile! Smelly, dirty and obviously not serviced on a regular basis. Totally disappointed.

I recently attended a dance class for a hen party at this bar and the dance teacher gave us a bottle of champagne. We went downstairs to order food and drinks and the barman gave us glasses and an ice bucket to put our drink in. The manager very rudely came over and was calling us rude and terrible for opening our own drink in a bar, when we assumed it was from the bar since it was given to us in the class at the same bar. She spoke down to us and we all felt very insulted, so we left. Lost some very loyal customers and a lot of money due to that very rude woman.

I have been to 10 Feet Tall several times and the cocktails are really good! Until now it´s the only place in Cardiff that does my Cosmo just right :)The location, atmosphere and drinks are amazing, unfortunately I have also experienced one or two male members of staff as unfriendly. When you go to 10 Feet Tall remember that the service might not be up to scratch, but it´s worth going for the drinks and atmosphere. Not all staff is unfriendly though! I think it´s getting better and I can definitely recommend this location for food and drinks.

We'd hoped that for my brother's birthday we'd be able to re-visit our old favourite haunt for a couple of drinks on a Thursday evening. The bar itself and the atmosphere is lovely, as were the drinks (if slightly pricey - which we wouldn't have minded had the lovely barman, Richard not been so hostile). I had a whiskey sour which was one of the best I've had. I wouldn't like to speculate as to why his attitude was strangely brief and unfriendly but it's a shame as it tainted our evening slightly. 'What do you want,' isn't really the best way to approach a customer, and then to not freely give information on what wines were available just seemed rather abrupt. Overall a pleasant bar, and we would return but in the hope that Richard's issues have been addressed and maybe a smile could be received on entry :)

Visited to see a band upstairs in the big top, bar people seemed to pick and choose who would get plastic or glass when you ordered your drinks, £4.10 for a pint of Amstel in plastic. Nice décor but hard to find the toilets had to go out into a poorly lit and in some parts no lights, maze of stairs and doors. The women's toilets were dismal, no lights in the cubicles and the floor was swimming in water, dropped my coat in the dark and when I picked it up it was soaked, couldn't wear it home threw it straight in the bath when I got home, can't believe a bar thinks this is acceptable! Did speak to a member of staff about it and I was told they were very busy, don't understand how that affects having no lights!

5* - I dont typically order a cocktail when out and about because I struggle to find a good, dry and 'short' drink without mixers! Ordered a classic martini - it exceeded my expectations - the lady helped me chose a Gin, customised the flavour and even allowed me to try something new with orange bitters! I wouldnt normally review a night out but I would highly recommend a visit and chatting to the team about their preferences, youll be pleasantly suprised with the result!

We recently had our work's Christmas party in 10ft Tall and I can't recommend the place highly enough. The management reserved an area for us in the downstairs bar and they kept in constant communication with me via email ahead of the party which was great because our plans changed slightly. The space was big enough to cater for our party, and more, and it was a massive plus being able to pre-order drinks for when we arrived. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and made the night a resounding success. I received great feedback from the party about the venue and judging by the number of sore heads, I can say pretty confidently that everyone enjoyed the 2 for £10 cocktails. We will be booking again for next year!..

A superb venue for what we needed.A surprise 30th Birthday party for my wife with an easy process of contacting Charlotte and Pearce via the contact form on the venue website.From there the organisation of the night was easy and nothing was too much trouble all done via email and a quick chat over the phone.We organised some food and punch bowls for the guests - all excellent and plenty of!Music, atmosphere and service spot on - ideal for couples, large or small parties and it has that city centre bar vibe!Highly recommended and will be returning again over the Xmas Hols!

Transcendently awful - nice enough place but they simply cannot cater for a large party - dinner over 1 hour late - then served in slow stilted instalments- cheap tables and cutlery- generally bad

10 Feet serves up some of the best cocktails in Cardiff. There is a great selection on the menu and the lovely bar staff will whip you up something special tailored to what you like if you prefer. The tapas is also lovely. I love the fact that on the weekend you can have a meal and cocktails, then venture upstairs to the Big Top for a party afterwards to finish off the night :)

I love 10ft Tall, if I want a nice cocktail and a happy fun time then here's the place. The door staff are welcoming and you don't get the usual stern face which is so common in bars. The drinks are amazing, and the music is always fun. I just read someone else mention The Big Top- WOW, what a venue, the interior is fresh and exciting, nice to see a different style of interior. TOP WORK!!

Noticed a few bad reviews on here, fair enough, maybe it was just a bad day. From my own experience I went there recently and had a great night at 10 Feet Tall, ventured to the recently added Big Top upstairs. Great staff, friendly atmosphere and class music. Fun to be had all round.

Love this place! Music and atmosphere is always spot on. Also recently discovered the new upstairs club which has been recently refurbished and looks wicked. Didn't manage to spend much time there so looking forward to heading back for a proper night soon!

Booked for a meal and drinks with friends. Arrived to find booking had not been written down. Waitress did not appear surprised and to be fair sorted out a table for us. To make life easy we decided to order "one of everything" from the tapas menu, plus some cocktails and wine. Drinks were nice and well priced if you go for the 2 for 10 pounds deal. Bottle of wine also ordered took quite a bit longer to arrive. Food came- really tasty but quickly gone. Checked menu and realised we'd been brought about 2/3 of what we were expecting. Mentioned it to the waitress who seemed pretty frazzled and brought up other bits and bobs seemingly randomly from the kitchen with no clear explanation. We never got all the food we expected, and when some garlic bread arrived about 90 minutes after everything else, we were surprised to hear the kitchen had closed before we were able to order any pudding. We were brought a bottle of wine on the house to compensate. Bill didn't really reflect what we'd had but was close enough that we paid and left. Great shame as it is a nice venue and food that did arrive was nice.

Decided to go here for a drink earlier with the partner which turned out to be a big mistake, now wishing we had left without giving the custom. Decided to get the drinks and was greeted by the barman who just glared. Was extremely rude and arrogant whilst being served. Don't bother with this place.

Entered with a group of friends. All paid entry fee. All bought a drink. Within fifteen minutes asked to leave as a member of staff didn't like the look of one of us. No refund offered to group. All had to leave and were man handled forcibly out of the door by staff with zero reasoning. The most appalling service for a visitor to Cardiff

Although drinks were good, barman quite rude and steep metal staircase to the worse toilets I have ever been in, dirty broken toilet seat not within setting of interior of bar or price of drinks

Visiting Cardiff and fancied a drink after going to the castle. We both looked at the cocktail menu but couldn't find anything I liked but the man behind the bar asked what I would like and was happy to make something thick and creamy for me. Really good atmosphere

First time visiting 10 feet tall yesterday and I was taken aback with the hostility of a bartender named Richard. When I was waiting to be served, the bartender began chatting animatedly to a couple who came to the bar after myself. I waited whilst they chatted about the venue but interrupted when he began to take their drink orders before my own. I pointed out that it was I who should have been served next to which he pulled a face and told me I had not been waiting that long. When taking my drink order he was cold, formal and it gave the impression that my custom was an inconvenience. I left the venue after finishing my drink and I highly doubt I will be returning.

Came here for a drink, cocktails weren't cheap but were really good. Atmosphere was nice, music was alternative and at a good volume, saw a bit of a live performance which was good. Staff were friendly, would recommend for a nice drink.

Came here last night after doing a bit of the rounds trying different bars. First of all we had to pay £3 which I thought was a bit random, not many places charge to get in anymore unless they're super uber. Went in and I left my partner to order drinks while I went to the ladies. When I came back, he still hadn't been served. It wasn't extremely busy so I was a bit confused. When I stood next to him he said that they had asked him if he wanted a glass of water, he replied that he wanted drinks and they then ignored him. Another barman walked past and said something into the other guys ear. I asked if there was a problem, they checked to see if the alcoholic drink was for me rather than my partner. I again asked if there was a problem. Unfortunately my partner has a back condition which limits his movement and neck movement and the staff thought he was extremely drunk. My partner then had to explain his condition. They did apologise to be fair and the barman shook his hand and said it was a misunderstanding but it was uncomfortable for my partner and I'd have much preferred if they had just asked me how much he'd had to drink. We found a table and sat down with our drinks. As soon as we finished we decided to leave as this had put a bit of a downer on our atmosphere in the place. Quite a nice place, just a shame people are so quick to judge and misinterpret a situation.

The barmen were great tonight! A friend and I met at the bar and we were treated brilliantly, a group of men approached us which were unwanted but the barmen and bouncer sorted them out and allowed us to carry on our night :)

We were (eventually) served by a great barman (curly hair, thanks for the drinks!) who served us fab cocktails with enthusiasm and was polite and fun. There was however, another staff member behind the bar who were clearly avoiding eye contact or serving people although a appeared to be a senior team member. The bar wasn't very busy but service would have been quicker if he had stepped in and served instead of wandering up and down the bar like it was a catwalk (hence my earlier "eventually"). Will definitely be back because this is a great bar with a unique vibe and great drinks!

I love this place for cocktails. It's not the cheapest but the cocktails are lovely. Probably only of my favourite bars on Cardiff.

Met friends here for cocktails before going out for dinner.2 cocktails for £10 seemed like a fair deal, but unfortunately out favourite long island iced tea wasn't included, which did put the price up quite significantly.Will probably be back, but clearly not the cheapest of places.

Came here for a pre and post match drink with large group of friends. Prices probably increased for the day. Beer and food was otherwise good. Only problem was that the music was far too loud! This was mainly somewhat older rugby fans but the bar seems to think that speaking not necessary. I was meeting people I had not steen for years! Put the music on SOFT on these days please!

Visited with 4 friends for cocktails before a night out in Cardiff. Excellent service with tab facility, table service and very friendly staff. Cocktails are great value starting from £5 each when buying 2, good quality and an excellent range on offer.A great place to start an evening with the old world decor and blues feel.

Wherever I meet friends in Cardiff City Centre, we tend to move on to 10 Feet Tall for their marvellous tapas. If you can't sit outside in the sunshine, there's a cosy bar inside with sofas to relax into & low tables to hold the various tapas to share(there are other items on the menu but I've never got past the tasty tapas!) The staff are extremely welcoming , happy & helpful. I can't recommend this bar highly enough.

Always have amazing cocktails, with friendly service! Lovely place to start a night out! Service can sometimes be slow due to high demand of cocktails which can sometimes be a pain.

Great cocktails - great atmosphere! We went here for pre dinner drinks and have visited once previously. Both experiences made me want to return. A relaxed friendly but smart bar!

It's always been a place where you can get good food and some really good cocktails and beers, but it's also always been a place where you can queue at the bar for a good half an hour to get a drink on a weekend. I once went with a friend on a rainy wednesday afternoon and it still took us 20 minutes to get served! Go if you're happy to wait for good drinks and good food.

I arranged to have a leaving do somewhere I love in Cardiff and immediately thought of Ten Feet Tall... from the word go Hannah Davies was amazing. She was so helpful and constantly in contact with me. Turned up and the venue was set up for me and they made the room look awesome. I was allowed to play my own music, the bar staff were sooooo friendly, chatty and fun. They also made epic cocktails and suggested the best drinks for each person. I asked Hannah for £50 worth of bar snacks and they supplied an amazing spread of food (cheese, olives, crisps, chocolates, nuts etc). They let me personalise the room with my own table clothes and bunting and Hannah was extra helpful trying to help me set up. Everyone loved the drinks and the venue.. FAB bar! Definitely recommend!

We popped in for a couple of cocktails and a portion of chips - great service (drinks not cheap but worth it). We loved the ambiance and the staff were very friendly. The chips were skin on and very tasty, huge portion for £2!!! Would really recommend

As chains go, Costa Coffee isn't too bad (great choc brownies!) but they need hot chocolate-making lessons at this particular branch. My drink was pathetically weak and, ironically, not half as nice as the hot chocolate I later bought from one of their Costa Express dispensing machines - in Asda. The only time ever I've ever praised a hot drinks machine. Come on Costa! Make all the drinks properly.

Our daughter wanted to go here for her birthday, before bowling and cinema. We had chicken tenders meal. Our order was taken by a very helpful member of staff called Sally. We sat down and waited, not long after our food was delivered to our table by a helpful young lady, The food was freshly cooked and hot. The drinks are free refills. I will be happy to return to this restaurant.

The food was ok, not as good as any other Nando’s that I’ve been to. However there were flies everywhere constantly trying to get into the food or drinks. The second member of staff that we told offered to move us to a table near the door and free desserts, however 2/3 of us had finished our food. Not good enough for a newer Nando’s.
