BrewDog Cardiff in Cardiff

Went for a drink last night. Lovely venue. Well located but not too busy on a Saturday evening. Great selection of beers and drinks from the BrewDog range. Very well trained staff. Great vibe and clientele. Highly recommended.

Lovely, helpful, knowledgeable staff, relaxed atmosphere, great selection of drinks and dog friendly😁

We reserved a table for the kids eat free, table was clean and the servers were amazing. The food, wow, even our boys ate their food and they’re fussy. We had a brilliant experience and would recommend brewdog to anyone. Wide range of alcohol and soft drinks, nice simple menu. Food arrived quickly and was top notch. Thank you

Fabulous burgers,great friendly staff,delicious wine. Beer,not to my taste,but otherwise excellent overall. Will definitely return.

Great service by the staff, really helpful and gave us samples of a lot of drinks so we were able to pick 4 flights each to try. Great atmosphere.

Went to a Beer School night. It was a good laugh whilst we learnt about Brewdog & their beers.

I booked a table for 4 people for 8pm. When I arrived they wouldn't let my 15 year old son in as the Brewdog in Cardiff. No under 18's after 8pm they said. Even now I can't see that written down anywhere. I can't comment on the food or service as we ate elsewhere.

Visited recently having travelled over from Nottingham for a gig, at the nearby Clwb Ifor Bach. Let me start by saying this bar was just something else, a warm welcome, great food - with plenty of veggie/vegan options - the plant based burger was awesome, & cooked perfectly. The bar staff were so friendly & chatty - & more than happy to let me have a taste or two, of the many brews on offer, happy to chat/discuss all things beer & BrewDog - felt kinda sad to leave & go to the gig in the end. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, & can’t wait to spend some more time here. Thanks guys - came in as a stranger (alone) but felt so welcome & appreciated. Diolch

Can not recommend enough!!!! We had a fabulous time at the beer school, where Ben delivered a knowledgeable and funny experience. The world would be a better place if everyone was like Ben and staff at Brew Dog Cardiff! :)

Paid £19 for 12 wings on bottomless Wednesday because you have to book at least 4 days in advance. I was allowed to order as many wings as I want off the menu but they claim they need a booking for bottomless Wednesday incase they run out….. strange. It was dead in there too.

Great place. Enjoyed everything from start to finish.Huge selection of drinks to choose from and excellent menu options with attractive offers. Also dog friendly which is an important thing for me.

Update from a visit on 13.01.24. Not been here for a while as have moved from Cardiff. The urinals in the gents were absolutely disgusting! Obviously not been cleaned in weeks. Love the bar, however they're policies make no sense. They seem obsessed with bookings. I was here on Saturday afternoon 27.11.21, and they turned lots of people away. I counted at least 25 empty seats. Just let people be aware that they may only have time for one drink before the table is taken. (If indeed the reservers bother to turn up). I walked in and was offered a table until 1530. Fine. I was one person on a table of 8! Crazy. What happened to first come first served? Makes me so angry. It's a really bad way to treat people who just want a beer or two. It must be nice to be making so much money that you can afford to turn away business.

We attended the Beer Tasting School today and it was fab! Ben was funny, informative and knew what he was talking about. The hours just flew by! And of course, the beers were great 🤗 We highly recommend a tasting school or just a pub night there. We are definitely coming back!

Great place to have proper vegan bar food with a numerous selection of craft beers.

Didn't even get to experience the venue. Made a booking in November to come with an old friend from up North - we are both big Brewdog fans. 2 days before our booking we get an automatic cancellation email to say our booking is cancelled. (We have already planned the day - prepaid train tickets to and from cardiff etc). We had a 12-2 booking with train arriving 11.30am leaving 4.30pm. Contacted the restaurant who advised they had decided to change the hours for Thursdays a week prior but only telling me with 48 hours notice. They apologised for the change of time and asked if we were flexible with time (they only open from 4pm). I advised our situation and received nothing from the restaurant. The date has now passed. Very disappointing. Be careful - an advanced booking does not mean you have a booking.

Thursday night we went there though because it's nice and quiet. We know the reason now. Staff member was drunk or something else. Was more important to flirt with a woman. When I said sorry, can I order answered back "you can wait" Beer tasted like dish water. Obviously, I didn't finish it. When I told him to taste horrible, I got an answer, "Your loss" Worst experience we ever had. Highly recommend don't go there!

The best choice of beer in Cardiff at the moment. Really good staff complement this.

Did Wings Wednesday, all worked well for three of us with plenty of follow up orders delivered promptly. In London we could choose different proteins but were told we had to stick to the same one here. Dissapointed with what seems to be a national policy of reducing the serving volume of higher ABV beers, presumably to keep the prices on the board from going sky high.

Came for wings Wednesday and was pretty disappointed. I’ve been before several times and was a big fan however the recipe seems to have changed for cauliflower wings, and consequently, so has the quality. Either that or they were just bad this time. Can’t complain about the initial portion size which is great however that first portion was over cooked. We also got seitan wings and the first portion was overcooked and the second portion was undercooked. In terms of service, it was way to hard to get a second helping, the staff made no effort to offer a follow up round of wings so had to awkwardly stand waiting to get their attention to ask for more. Unlikely that we’ll be back which is sad. No photos as I forgot to take some…

Came here for the unlimited wings. They bring you 12 and then you go to the bar to ask for "top ups" of 5 at a time. But they take 15 to 20 mins to bring each top up out so by the time they bring the 3rd plate you're probably done. (No, it wasn't busy in here) Honestly, wings were delicious and they would have got a much better score but I went to the bar after and started talking to the server about how good the wings were and he looked at me like I just called him a tosser, shrugged and said "OK, what can I get you". Obviously when he handed me the card reader it was asking if I want to tip... lol. Not the best experience I've ever had but I ate 22 wings for £12 so not a totally wasted evening.

Fantastic beer and great food but the place is minging! I'm a big brewdog fan boy and love the bar in Bath so thought I would try cardiff. Really disappointed as this place is just filthy, dirty walls, dirty sticky tables and the gents was disgusting and this was a visit on a quiet Saturday afternoon not a busy Saturday night. Sort it out brewdog! Get a lick of paint on the walls and run a mop over the place for fox sake.

Went here for unlimited Wings Wednesday; I must admit it is certainly “High Risk, High reward” as I had to cancel all my plans the next day but it was so worth it. The wings were delicious, the sauce was delicious, larger was delicious and I bet the decor, lighting and atmosphere is delicious. Coupled that with their speedy service, the workers know what we are here for. We had so much meat, it’s like a ‘twink’ during Pride week. Would definitely come back here for more wings.

Went to try Wings Wednesday. Very poor quality. It was supposed to be all you can eat Wings. First 10 brought out were luke warm. Took 40 minutes until the next 5 arrived. The Wings were not great quality or particularly tasty. Would do better to use genuine Frank's Buffalo Sauce. No excuse for slow service as only 1 other person during our 6- 8pm sitting was eating Wings. Server's struggled to smile as well, not great in an expensive hospitality outlet. Beer was OK which I guess is the reason to go here, we'll be giving it a miss in future as there's plenty if good alternative beer on Westgate Street.

Decent food, but service was poor from a couple of servers due to forgetting an order but covered up saying oh it's still being made. Brought this up but just kept being told it was coming etc. Food tastes good and always reasonably priced.

I recently visited BrewDog in Cardiff for a flying visit during the day. The staff were very helpful and chatting, helping me understand the different offers they had on at the time to get the best value for money and the food was excellent. Would definitely return back to BrewDog in Cardiff next time I'm in the city.

Sok sör válaszható csapról. Felszolgálók kedvesek, a sörök hibátlanok.

Can't say a bad word, my fave brewer so it's a big 👍from me

Nice bar, staff were nice and friendly. Let down by the wings on wings Wednesday they were extremely overcooked to the point it prevented us from wanting any more. Ruined the point of having unlimited wings. Based on our experience I would not recommend this deal.

Terrible beer, terrible service. Ordered and paid for a drink to only be told I couldn't receive it after paying through the app. Owner has responded claiming I peeled off the QR sticker, which is laughable. If their staff was competent enough to remove all QR codes then this could have been avoided. Terrible reply from a terrible business. Avoid this place!

Took payment via app and then refused to provide drinks as they said they weren't doing table service, despite QR codes on the menu. Then refused to provide drinks even when a receipt was produced to show they'd been paid for. Very disappointing

Walked in and got sat down for dinner and asked to order our food on the app after looking at the menu and deciding what we wanted we then realised that they didn't actually have any food available and after suggesting to the door man that they mite want to mention to people on the way in to the restaurant that they don't have any food he replied."you should have asked if we have any food left "which to me is a ridiculous comment for a restaurant who serve FOOD to make.

They wouldn't let me shandy a £16.85/pint stout. The fatherly figure I had been missing all my life. Thanks for the great service, special mention to Jack, Ben and Bianca who took care of me.

We are massive brewdog fans and regularly go to Brewdog pubs to eat and drink. Unfortunately Cardiff Brew dog wasn't good. We sent back food twice and left feeling very disappointed with what we had been served. #gutted

Just heading back from brewdog originally £18 go or a double gin and tonic + pint of beer - including tip ( not so clear on that) refunded to a degree but yes cost of living crisis inflated by places like brewdog, maddness

Cashless 😟 got sent away with my cash cause I didn’t have a bank card to use, rude n arrogant staff, avoid.

Use to love to visit this place with quite a few friends when visiting Cardiff but they no longer take cash only card payments so won't be going here again, nor my friends

Cashless dump.. anywhere that refuses cash can go and do one

Lovely friendly pub just out of the town Outside seating and close to town centre and the train station. This pub offers ales and staff were very friendly and welcoming.

I love Brewdog's ales, the bar/restaurant atmosphere is nice enough and the ordering process was easy enough. £13.75 for a small-ish burger (you'd expect a mammoth burger for that sort of money) then paying £3.50 extra for a small pot of chips is ludicrous, fries should be included as is standard in any other sit-in restaurant. The food was again, fine but nothing about it was mind-blowing to warrant the cost. £17.25 for a burger and chips is crazy in my view. Hence the 3-stars review.

Used to be one of my favorite spots when I lived in Cardiff, plenty of space, good beer, decent food. Giving it a late five star review to counter the 1-star spam from cash-obsessed people.

Another business I won't be going back to. Won't take legal tender, gone cashless... Shame on you! 😞👎

Never support a cashless venue!!!

Used to be a great place, still is I expect but they are now cash adverse and so have lost our future trade. We are older clientele and sadly it seems some companies really don't want our money anymore. It's a shame, but there are other, wiser companies who realise who has all the money and are happy to take it off us. You must be losing a small fortune. Older people are used to freedom and choice, we like it and we have lots of money to spend. As a business man myself, I can't believe this company actually turns customers away because of the their choice of payment. Foolish indeed and it won't end well.

Great atmosphere and speedy service, really friendly bar tenders and great ales! I always go for 'Cardiff's favorite' and it never disappoints.

Good beer and fantastic service. You can order from your table. Really good selection of craft beer. Have some games downstairs

Fun and informative..had a great time and experience

I’d give thousands of stars 💕💕 so good 🙌 thanks for making it available in local stores as well 🫶

Been here a bunch of times. The food may be rubbish... hence the lack of a fith star... but otherwise all good. Love the beer, staff and overall cleanliness. Will be coming here more.

3rd BrewDog we’ve visited including Bath & London all were terrible and this was no exception. Walked in no greeting. Two staff members standing on the corner of the bar ignored us. Found our seats, out of chicken wings and no soft drinks….keep up the 1 Star Trend BrewDog you’re smashing it! In response - shocking reply and use a spell checker.

First the good: wings were good. Pleased with those but, needs celery or carrot sticks to be included. Especially for the price. Not cheap. The long bar and seating was convenient enough. Very much like home at an American sports bar. Now the bad: there is a rainbow "safe space" sticker on the door which is ridiculous. And the presence of all the gay flags was ridiculous as well. Sexual orientation has ZERO to do with a restaurant unless that's your theme. Keep it and politics out of the eating venues please. Ultimately, I'd return IF the majority of whoever I was with wanted to go but if I returned on my own accord, it would be takeaway.

Nice place and great beer. However, the size of the vegan hamburger could definitely be improved. For the price, it was incredibly small and didn’t even include fries.

It was a large friendly group which made the experience really enjoyable. The young man giving the information was well informed and the information he gave was clear and easily understood. The pairing of the cheeses with the beers was a very interesting experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and learnt so much so my beer drinking will be much more pleasurable. Thanks to all involved.

This time we visited for a Pawty, our working cocker enjoyed her 1st birthday. Again food, beer, and staff were awesome

Not a good experience. Staff indifferent bordering on rude. When concerns were raised we were met with hostility. Four us us could not eat our meals as they were immensely salty. I am a Brewdog shareholder so disappointed in this outlet. UPDATE, no acknowledgement, no apology, nothing! No care?

If you're going to brewdog just for a drink you're going to have no problem at all. Lovely beers, quick service from the bar. No problems whatsoever. If you're planning to have food I'd reconsider. While the food itself is nice, it is done with incompetence. The food we had, all of which were burgers, were served ten minutes between each other. If you know one dish is going to take longer than the other, you just put that on first. When my food comes first, I don't want to eat till it's all served. At which time it was cold. The staff also seemed very unapologetic in the fact. Giving excuses and no apologies. As I said, if you're going just for drinks, couldn't recommend more. For food? Cardiff has multiple better places. Head of Steam, Santiagos, anywhere. It's better that you try there.

Lacked atmosphere. Very bad and slow service. Bottomless wings were lovely but unfortunately portions became smaller and smaller throughout the night. Drinks expensive

Nice bar with friendly staff, especially Mr Perth (sorry we didn't get your name). A traditional BD that's worth finding, with a good variety of beers.

Great food, really good drink variety and the guy on the bar with the man bun was cracking bloke, top notch

Gluten free beer on draft. Staff who are passionate about beer. A menu that can be customised for vegan and gluten free diets.

Customer service Zero Stars! Ordered and beer and a Prosecco! Immediately I noticed the Prosecco to be flat and said to the Barman my wife will send this back as it’s flat his reply “New bottle can’t do anything about it” so my wife complained so I took it back!! Can’t open another bottle as that is waste he says……fine refund my whole round so he did!! Great business sense that! What a moron and what a shame as looking forward to going there all day before returning to hotel to get ready for evening dinner!! All the best Brewdog it’s been a pleasure but if you’re staff are trained to fob people off I won’t be returning!!

Amazing cheese and beer tasting lesson.

A standard BrewDog with good beer.

Good place for some craft beers, and they are not up tight about dress codes.

Horrendously overpriced. Just realised I spent £60+ (and because I'd had a couple too many I tipped 10% (that set up with the tip on the card machine is a con too)), on 3 pints, two burgers and some fries. Coupled to that we had one member of staff barging past us at the bar on purpose at least twice (they asked us to stand at the bar until a table became available). Not a good vibe at all. Won't be going back. In fact this visit was enough to make me think about selling my shares in Brewdog. Edit: I wrote this before reading the reviews below. I note the passive aggressive responses to any reviews that don't give five stars. Must be the Brewdog culture in action.

Not child friendly no high chairs no changing facilities. Food is good but q burger doesn't come with chips which not stated. Cold in building.

Good bar food and beer. Music too loud for conversations though.

Super nice IPAs and sound staff.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and great beer had a pint or lost lager lovely beer

Good, nice atmosphere, beers just very expensive 🤷‍♂️

This venue doesn't have high chairs for chimd friendly venue. Food was nice bit doesn't stay that chips are extra with burger needs be made more clear. X

Quality beer and great atmosphere. Easy to order on the app. Has plenty of variety. Great for groups!

We came on weekdays. As a pub, I guess it's normal to be abit more quiet on weekdays. The beer and cider was very good. Unfortunately their wings could be better. It was wayyy too venigary and too sour after 3rd wings I felt my mouth cannot cope with too much acidity. The cauliflower was slightly better than the wing but please order small quantities as its still too acidic for my taste. I wished they have chicken wing without the sauces.

Super let down about Wing Wednedays at my local Brewdog in Cardiff. Me and my partner went a few months ago. I had the buffalo cauliflowers wings (only managed 2 portions) and my partner had buffalo chicken wings and he was cut off after three portions.The staff actively wouldn't come to our table we had to go and request the first two. (I'll also add the second and third portions were tiny about 4-5 flat wings each.) We thought last minute we would go tonight and try again perhaps it was just one of those nights. We called to book earlier to be told they had only cooked x-amount of wings and there wasnt enough for us.....Which ok I get we were last minute for booking and I get its potentially to combat food waste. But it IS clearly false advertising that the 'Bottomless' and 'unlimited are in fact not?

Amazing pub, relaxed atmosphere, staff have a great knowledge on the alcohol they serve. Slightly pricey but worth every penny.

Great bar, great beer. 1 star off for contactless payment machine asking for a tip for pulling a pint. Fine for food or table service but not at the bar, it's Cardiff not Manhattan.

Love going to this bar. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. Ben Thompson is so knowledgeable and passionate about the beer. I took a friend in from work and he was advised what to have by being asked what type of beers he likes and was even given a small taster to try first. I really enjoy the non alcoholic cans and also the gins. Great bar with a great feeling always.

Love Brewdog Cardiff. Visited numerous times in the last few years and the laid back atmosphere and friendly staff are a definite draw. Great beers and good food. Staff can often guide you and give you tasters to help you choose from an ever evolving array of house and guest beers. Love the takeaway beer fridge for something special too. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I will return…

I absolutely love this place 🙌🏻 Awesome food ✅ Banging beer ✅ Top service ✅ Great atmosphere ✅ The gang are awesome at why they do, massive shout out to the team 🔥

Adore visiting Brewdog Cardiff, always feel welcomed by the awesome staff, their knowledge is outstanding and offered with no judgment. Food is always on point, my husband’s favourite burger EVER was at this site, he won’t let me forget… Thanks as always guys!

Another brill visit to BrewDog Cardiff. The staff are great, beers awesome as always…..and the wings are the best I’ve ever had. Thanks BrewDog Team 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Brewdog Cardiff is by far the best Brewdog site that I have visited, and easily the best craft beer venue in Cardiff. The selection of beers is always great and staff are very knowledgeable about what they have on. The team are super friendly and helpful, I have never had bad service from the guys in the Cardiff bar! Also a great food offering, so nice to see a real choice of vegan options too. Well done Brewdog Cardiff, keep doing what you're doing! :)

One of my favourite crafty places in Cardiff. Good selection of guest beers, great staff and great food. 🍻

I just can't stay away. Whenever I pop over to Cardiff for a day out or for a weekend away, I always find myself stopping at Brewdog. From some damn good drinks to the lovely staff, Brewdog is the place to go for a nice chilled afternoon or night out. Having recently turned vegetarian as well, the food is also spot on. What else is there to say? If you love good beers, good vibes and dogs, then this is the place for you.

You want a good time in the capital? Go to brewdog, it’s not just in the heart of the city, it is the heart of the city. Great food (especially for vegans) even better drinks. Relaxed atmosphere and an entertainment area downstairs in the basement. The only thing missing was capes on the staff as they were ‘super’

Lovely bar with great service. I loved their vegan burgers and how cool is it that they do vegan Mondays, defo going to be coming back for the offers. Great value for money and very enthusiastic staff who seem to love what they do. Loads of different beers on tap but also have great wine options for us non beer folk.

The manager Craig is very hospitable, knowledgeable and welcoming. Their superbowl parties are next level. Never had a bad pint, fod always good, has to be 5*

Standard Brewdog, but lacked a bit of atmosphere. Visited on Bank Holiday Monday so was surprised of this. Could hear staff convos, one member got told by another to quieten down but still continued on. Only stayed for food and 1 drink because of this. The table service app doesn't allow for discount 'for punks' to be added. Burger & beer tasty as usual

Kraft sörök minden mennyiségben.

Went with a friend from work, on a whim. Lovely looking place; however, you don't go to a burger place for the decor!! Food was shocking for £13 a burger. Maybe worth £4 at best for a mediocre burger in a capital city. You really need to up your game. Fries were OK.. and don't even get me started on the price on some of their beers.. £ 5.50 for half pint of roaster coaster when you can buy a full can for £2.75. Would I return? No. Would I recommend..? No.

Large selection of beer allows you to taste before you buy. Friendly service. The burgers are well made but the fries were either cooked in old oil or at too low a temperature as they were a bit on the greasy side and had a bit if an 'old oil' after taste. However, I admit this could also be due to my being more used to oven chips.

Good beers, staff a bit non plussed. Terrible grime music suitable for school age gangsters. 😂

Anche questo birrificio lo abbiamo visitato nel pre e post partita. Ottima birra e un locale molto bello e ben fatto. Per non smentirci, anche qui, una piomba notevole 🤣🤣🤣

Food took a long time to arrive, was missing parts of the order and chicken burgers were well over cooked. Beer was good though.

Forget about the dick that runs the company, this is a lovely place with great staff and everyone is always made to feel welcome. Decent beers and excellent buffalo cauliflower. Mobile app ordering works really well, there's plenty of charging points and good WiFi.

Probably the best ipa in the world....

Didn't get much time there but staff friendly + beer good

Had a really nice vegan burger there

Excellent beer, knowledgeable and friendly staff, chilled environment and delicious food. What isn't there to like!

I didn't clock the barman's name but he was working around 1pmish on Wednesday and he was great, super helpful and polite. Great beer and great space.
