Owain Glyndwr in Cardiff

1 Food & Drink - The food is very much chain pub food standard think O'neils / Whetherspoon vibes it's not a Gastropub or anything like that, so its fine by that standard of expectation I give it 4* because there is a good range of drinks for selection and I don't go there for the food. 2. Prices - They are on the slightly higher side if you compare to other cheaper venues e.g. Kiwis, Live Lounge, Wetherspoons - Higher on mach days, as everywhere is. 3. Pros - SPORTS - Loads of large screen TV's everywhere, so great for Sport with SKY and TNT Sports . 4. Pros - Water available on bar, which is convenient for hydration and keeps bar staff free to serve people drinks. 5. Pro- Saturday Kareoke - I'm a regular to Kareoke they have a good sound system and you can hear yourself sing- usually positive vibes with supportive crowds. 6. Pro - Door Staff - Most door staff are friendly 6. Cons - I went here to watch the Euros England VS Spain, which I was surprised there was no door staff at all for...Yes it was fairly early in the Day and on a Sunday, but I had some overweight, drunk, racist Welshman with a pedo moustache, who was a sore loser and idiot who was supporting England "Because at least they're not foreigners" come up to me and start shouting racist abuse and swearing in my face, when Spain scored again, which I feel would not have occurred or would have been addressed if there was door staff. Cons - I purchased a bottle of Fanta £3 and asked for a pint glass with ice, as I don't usually drink alcohol except for special events e.g. parties, birthdays, or going on a full blown night out etc. I also do not like drinking Sodas, as unhealthy, but you have to buy something really don't you. I sipped it occasionally, went to Sing my karaoke song and glass collector took it when the glass was half full ! I complained to the same staff member I purchased from and the bar staff member was immediately rude and got sassy with me and essentially accused me of lying and said that I purchased it a long time ago and probably drank it. I said it is a very sugary drink, so I only sip it occasionally, but it's not something I would want to drink quickly and I wanted either 1.50 back or half a glass of soda back on tap was fine. He then asked the glass collector, which I think admitted they took the glass half full off the table, as it could of only been like 3 mins since singing my song and then he spoke to the manager, which gave me a new Fanta, which was the right thing to do to be honest. But I don't appreciate being called a liar to begin with or the initial attitude rude attitude of the bartender, when I explained the situation politely and calmly. Cons- Toilet Cleanliness always seem to be very dirty and messy and the tables always more often than not feel sticky.

We came here a few weeks ago, and came back today. Both times we were served by Molly, she was absolutely lovely both times. You could tell she is very hard working and gave great service every time we went up to the bar. Not often would I leave a review for service at a pub, but this time I will. Give her a raise or something!

Nice real ales, only went in for a drink, bit manic as it was just before Christmas, but good service.

Worst meal out I have ever had. The cleaner must have done the cooking, it certainly was no chef

Lovely place but felt a bit like a Wetherspoons with extra price tag. Loud music inhibited conversation

Went here with my family for a meal, I had a steak and my parents got burgers, food was nice, not too expensive. But what the hell, £11 for 3 coffees? That is a complete rip off (1 double espresso, 2 americanos with milk), the coffee was very disgusting even, we haven't finished it. 4/5 because of that. Otherwise I recommend.

Worst pub food ever! I ordered the Mac and Cheese. Not complicated but I at least expected something that a pub was proud to serve. The kitchen had opened a Tin of Mac&Cheese and poured it into a bowl. Unbelievable

Food basic,but reasonably priced.

Not as traditional as some of the city-centre pub's in the area but, nevertheles, not a bad boozer with some very friendly customers - at least when I visited. The beer was very good and reasonably priced. I did not eat, so comments upon the food.

Great place to catch the game (football or rugby) multiple TVs

thank you very much to the Owain Glyndwr for having our band. Great atmosphere

Great service, lovely food, highly recommended for table bookings. Great staff

Met here before a Christmas meal. Nice venue

Decent pub nice choice of beers, loads of tv screens with sports.

This pub is a fantastic spot for a laid-back evening with friends. The atmosphere is always buzzing, yet comfortable, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The drink selection is fantastic, especially the local craft beers, and the food is always tasty. It's the perfect place to relax after a long day or meet up for a casual night out.

Nice meal. Meal came out quick.Limited soft drinks offer

Great atmosphere at the weekend. Counter service super fast and super nice. Unfortunately the food wasn't that good, but ok for pub food.

Great if you want to keep drinking and watching sports on tv. Food not so good very small portions . Great if your in a hurry. It always depends on what the customer expects .overall I will give it a 6. I was so happy just to get something to eat on my special day with my daughter. We go to Cardiff every Christmas and look forward going for a nice meal. It was satisfactory. Sorry kids.

The home of rugby on match day!

Nice open plan pub with plenty of seating inside and out

Advertises an app for ordering. Ordering is disabled in the app. Bait and switch.

Only had drinks before our meal booking. Nice place clean and tidy great staff

Didn't eat there but food looked good on other tables. Good choice of beers, ciders etc. Helpful staff for my limited sight partner. Good music playing in background. Clean tables

It is what it looks like, a well priced big pub. Great drinks selection Friendly staff. Decent prices Not too busy so could have a chat and a subsequent read comfortably. A very solid city centre pub!

Best place to go in my opinion!! Great food and friendly staff make this a great place!

Average better prices required

Exceptional. Always a friendly welcome and attentive staff. This visit was made special by the help of Bibi, Sorcha, Gregor and Kyle. They pour a belting Guinness!

I must say. The service by Ellie and Taylor was phenominal, would 100% come again x

Ligia was so kind, the place is good and with a friendly environment. The food was good.

Ligia and Morgan were lovely and friendly. Banging food had a nice drink thankyou!

We called in here with a friend just for a drink, plesent enough place and friendly bar staff. Very busy place with lots of tables reserved, we were able to sit on one of the reserved tables as long as you vacated by time shown on table.

Have I been ripped off £5:15 for a small bottle of San Miguel alcohol free beer. Scandalous

Great selection of beers. Pool table upstairs also . Service is always good.

Popped in for food with my partner and god I wish we didn't bother. Food was absolutely shocking. She had a burger which tasted off, I had a mixed grill. Steak was well over cooked when asked for medium but came out like ghandis flip flop, sausage was hard and chewy, gammon crispy and flat like a rizla paper, chicken dry as hell. Staff came over to clear our plates and didn't even ask how the food was, considering there was plenty left on our plates.Wow never eating there again.

Returned for another tasty and well priced meal, served quickly and with a smile. Thank you to all responsible. We will dine here again when in Cardiff.

I've been to the Owain Glyndwr a couple of times now, and I've always had a good time. It's a great little bar for watching sports, having a few drinks with friends, or just chilling out. The atmosphere is always lively and friendly. There's a great mix of people here, and everyone seems to be having a good time. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. The drinks are reasonably priced and there's a good selection to choose from. They have a wide range of beers, wines, and spirits. It’s located in the heart of Cardiff and in within walking distance of several hotels and restaurants.

The worst pie I have ever had. Microwaved. Dry. Absolute rubbish Mashed potatoes was more like concrete Beer is good tho

Good selection of both Cask and Keg Ales however not cheap. Paid £7.00 for a Pint of VOG Keg. Friendly staff.

I wish i'd eaten elsewhere. The fish fillet was very thin. Hardly any mushy peas on the plate either. Chips were ok but again not a large portion. Good service but that didn't help better the meal.

Great place with a lot of TV so you can enjoy the sports. Great variety of beers at a normal price.

The racism is so bad that East Asians are not allowed to sit in the good seats outside where you can see the music. I can't believe a store like this exists in this day and age. out of the question.

A nice pub, with a nice atmosphere just ruined by the poor service from staff. Came on a Thursday night for the weekly quiz, had booked two tables. Upon arriving we went to the bar and was ‘greeted’ by Bibi. It seemed like everything was too big of a problem and she could not care about us at all. This attitude from her was repeated many times throughout the evening and was commented on by almost everyone in our group.

It's a nice place to watch football and have a beer

We only had a drink 🍸 but a lovely pub

Typical Welsh pub, on 2 floors with local and international beers, regular live music, mixed crowd, nice service, you can't get disturbed even when it's busy. Would love to come back.

Have to be honest £14 for 2 pints of cider wasn't quite what I was expecting.

Great mix of sports bar, karaoke and relaxed drinking. Friendly staff and nice outdoor area

Nice city center boozer. Light and airy with a good selection of drinks. Nice staff.

Managed to get a table on a Saturday afternoon even though it was busy. Food was good and reasonable priced. Service was good.

absolutely amazing service ask for help for a disabled person getting up a step who was very kind and held the table for us as I went to find all the rest of our guests so that we can all sit together

One of the staff members here is so trash she should just quit the service industry for real.

Came for some food and drinks before going to bute park outside cinema. Although it was busy when we arrived I was served so quickly multiple times by Millie who was so friendly and so helpful! A credit to the team 💖

Great afternoon here. Helpful, polite staff, easy and fast service. 5⭐

Lovely food. Good staff and nice atmosphere.

Just a convenient bar to pop into

Sports Saturday-4 different sports on multiple screens with staff attempting to keep flow going throughout

That place and name are so special to me.

Large pub situated close to the nightlife. Offers a wide variety of beers and good pubfood. The pub is crowded but offers more room upstairs. The app was not working but ordering at the bar is quick.

Popped in for a drink with friends after attending sport event service was quick and staff friendly. Great atmosphere with music playing for all to enjoy. Would recommend and will be back for sure

Had food here often. Good varied menu and great value. Plenty of drinks on offer and good atmosphere especially if your a sports fanatic.

Turns sound on after anthems. Idiots.

We all had a great time here. Good live music.

We had some lunch here. Nice pub grub. Was quiet when we were there, but can see it would be very busy. Plenty of TVs with sports on. Good selection of beers.

Nice pub great staff. Didn't quite understand why you could only go in and out if the doors you were directed to .

Had a great time! We watched the England euros game vs Slovakia upstairs. The lady who was serving was exceptional, running the whole upstairs by herself! She was very attentive and happy, it was lovely to see. Good food too! Thank you to her for the great service.

Really nice decor inside, we ordered so.e baguettes which were lovely and came within about 10 mins. Would return and would recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere, super great customer service. Only down side was having to go up stairs for the loo.

Come in for something healthy, but they had sold out of salad, so I ordered steak and ice cream for dessert! It all come as one, I finished the steak, went for a second pint, and when I come back the table was cleared, including my untouched ice cream. Food was decent pub grub. Not expensive either.

Good food. Good atmosphere. Good price.

Excellent service! The Staff were superb.

Lovely pub with helpful attentive staff. Good menu and food and decent selection of beers.

Went to watch the first euros game with my mates. Staff were lovely and welcoming, food was lush, and there was so many screens you could see the gane no matter where you sat. Will definitely be back!

Good sized pub with plenty of seating inside and out. Good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Place was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and polite. Wheelchair accessable. Parking in the local area. Worth a visit 😁

Always busy when we are in Cardiff, but its a great place to watch sports.

It was a packed Friday night when we visited. The staff were polite and welcoming, the food was OK and arrived quickly. Not really our usual sort of place to visit but Cardiff was packed so we were lucky to get a table.

Stopped in for a pint, good atmosphere and James behind the bar was a good laugh, will be coming in again.

Great place for watching live game

Great range of drinks and aperol spritz was bogof so I had 8 in 2 hours

Most unfriendly bartender caused us to have 1 drink and leave even though our intent was to order food and stay. Unfortunately this woman was the most rude individual we encountered on our entire 3 week trip in the UK. Most unfortunate because our experience in Cardiff was fabulous otherwise.

It's a pub, they sell gin and probably other drinks as well. Sometimes do karaoke, which is always interesting

Had a quiet lunch there with my mum and sisters. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. It was all freshly cooked and very tasty. Free iced water in a pitcher on the bar. Plates were cleared quickly after we'd finished bug we didn't feel rushed.

I was served by Saorla who was clearly a very lovely person. She humoured me, and guessed my favourite drink in 3 guesses. That was pretty impressive, although she wasn’t so impressed by my attempt at a Northern Irish accent. Her authentic Northern Irish accent was much nicer. I was glad they had Ginger Beer. Made me very happy. I was also happy that there were plenty of wall plugs around so I could charge my array of devices. Lovely experience, made nicer by a friendly interaction.

I like this pub, in the middle of city centre, you can sit outside and chill with your drink, the quality of the wines were good. There are loads of tv inside, I’ll go back to watch some match there later!

Popped in for some post-work drinks with friends. Lovely welcome, fantastic selection of drinks and amazing to see so many sports on different screens. Ended up staying longer than I intended! Food looked great too, and I will definitely be back to eat next time!

i have never been to a bar where you have to wait for over 20 minutes for a drink, even when there is hardly any people in front of me waiting. the bar staff refuse to move from the till to take orders and seem to have either very poor training or have no ability to see whose next in the queue. i waited there for over 20 minutes and saw 4 customers come in afer me and get served before me. i spoke to my father next to me about this and the manager overheard us and said if you want to get served quicker you should go into the 'middle of the bar'. i was shocked to hear of this and didnt really know what to say in return, so walked off. on returning back to the bar i saw the manager repeating what i said to his staff and was mocking me, this made me really angry and resulted in us drinking up fast and not returning for any more drinks and we wont be in the near future. the manager is clearly aware of the situation and showed very poor training and customer service experience. the company should seriously consider removing this manager and retraining the staff, it was terrible to see and i will complaining to head office accordingly.

Quick drink before moving on to go eat somewhere. Good choice of drinks, was clean and sport playing on tvs

Great staff on a busy sporting night.

Never eaten here but the menu looked good. Had the pie, mash and vegetables. The pie, veg and gravy were good but the mash was awful. Flat, like it has been squashed by something and really stiff. No taste at all. Thank god I could soften it with gravy.

Fantastic experience, our waitress (unsure of her name but she was Portuguese) was wonderful!

Best pub to watch sports and overall vibe is 🔥

BBQ burger with Mac and cheese??

Pretty decent pub. Always seems lively, plenty of screens for sports, does a decent pint of Guinness and good cider. Staff are friendly. Had some small plates for the first time tonight, loved the scampi and chicken tenders, excellent value for money

Marvellous fish and chips in a nice sportsbar qith at least three different channels in the middle of Cardiff. Splendid offer of beer and cidre. A perfect lunch

Good atmosphere and the drinks were great too

Really nice pub, with enough tv’s for everyone to watch any sport you want.

Visited here today with my dog. Staff member GREGG was exemplary with my needs and more than welcoming and helpful. Thank you so much

If you're in Cardiff and need a break from shopping, the Owain Glyndwr bar is the perfect spot. This friendly pub serves up hearty, filling food that hits the spot. I tried the steak and ale pie, and it was delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to unwind with a drink and some food. However, the toilets could use some TLC. All in all, the Owain Glyndwr is a fantastic choice for a casual meal and a refreshing drink in the heart of Cardiff.

Not bad, good laid back vibe and nice bartenders. Live music on Friday nights was a fun touch but definitely seems like more of a sports place.

I really liked it, classic pub to watch rugby and do karaoke!! Very good beers!

Another pub my wife and I always go in when in town,and dogs are welcome great👍👍
