The Claude Hotel in Cardiff

There is an outdoor courtyard, which would be good in the summer. Although as the sunsets not much of it will be in the sun.

We had a great time with friends! Everything was tasty and quick, the service was good and the beer was tasty

Great staff, friendly and relaxed. Large beer garden

Stopped for a quick pint on the way back from the shops service was quick and staff friendly and helpful. We didn't have food this time but will next time. If you like sport, there are loads of televisions to watch on.

I popped in today to order a steak and ale pie for my mother who is home now, in palliative care. The staff were brilliant at plating the food for me to take away and on top of that the food itself was lovely. Was the most she'd eaten in 1 sitting for 3 months! Thank you xx

Good local pub to were my son lives great pint food is pub food but great value and nice. Very sports orientated but just a great pub for a good pint and a catch up.

Really good food, loved the new menu, excellent value for money. Will definitely be going back!!

I’ve been coming for Sunday lunch fairly regularly and i can’t recommend it enough!!!!

The service and atmosphere for the football is spectacular always come here on Sunday for the FA cup

Always in the claude. Staff fantastic. Food excellent. Atmosphere wonderful. Always looked well.great place to be.

Phenomenal pub, great door staff firm but fair. Had a slight issue which was dealt with professionally and promptly by the door staff and the live music is actually fairly up there

The claude has been my very much loved local for 28 years! i feel part of the staff family here where they without fail make me feel happy and cherished! Always a good pint and food is good too with the price! I have had many family celebrations in here and can’t express how the staff always make that extra effort! lots of love for the staff of The Claude

Family orientated pub restaurant food & drink moderately priced for Cardiff City

Visited on Wednesday early evening, with our friends pub was fairly busy but managed to get a table in the old lounge, whilst looking and menus we were unsure of the burger deal, but the lovely chef was just starting her shift and explained how the deal worked, must say she was extremely helpful and the burgers were cooked lovely, will definitely be back

Food and drinks good value fish and. Chips always very good 👍

Good night, Wales didn't win, but the fault is the pub. I enjoyed the live band the "Verge".

Service was really good, other customers were pleasant, lots of tv’s with sport on, good outside seats with entertainment and heating. A real pleasure. I’ve also eaten and the food is good to

I'd not been in here since at least 1997/8 and I was surprised in the change around... but much livelier than I remember it being... and one of the last times I was in here some IDIOT decided to try and cut me up with a broken Pint glass... let's just say he ended up coming out worse off....and i will leave it there... Great place to visit again after so Long and hope its not as long until next time

Live (loud) music. Enjoyable but busy

we love the claude so so much i want to get married here and the staff are so amazing love you guys xxxxx

we love the claude to the moon and back. I would live in the claude if i could. best vibes best staff best drinks what a place. my favourite pub in cardiff and the whole world. i live and breathe the claude. 1000000/10

Favourite place to be m, would have my wedding and funeral here staff are amazing love love love

Good atmosphere good food friendly staff and manager sport on TV 3 nice pool tables and on certain nights they have music 🎵

Staff very nice and helpful. Food nice and tasty

Me and my boy have food in here every weekend where the staff always make a fuss of him and loves all the banter!! Great food great staff would recommend it to everyone plus during the week they have great offers such as £5 burger Wednesday where u get burger bacon cheese etc chips and onion rings etc!!! Can’t wait for Wednesday again lol !!

Great place to watch the football.

Catch up and a meal with friends (four of us). We managed to get one of the booths at the back. They're the best spot, comfy seats, multiple TV views, close to the pool tables. We all had food, good value for money. Friendly and fast service at the bar and from the team bringing the food and clearing the plates. Very hungover the next day 😂

Been coming to this place for many years now and always will return! Such a great place that caters for all. The food, interiors and friendliness is second to none. Happy bar staff and management alike. The facts it’s also dog friendly is a bonus. Outdoor area is class- outdoor screen caters for sporting events. The atmosphere is always top notch!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff lots of sport and great selection of beer we also had food which was great value and tasted great would define recommending this pub to all my friends

Lovely staff and great atmosphere... definitely our go-to place for a cheeky pint 🍻

Booked the cwtch area for my daughters surprise 30 birthday party. Booked early in 2024 due to the time of year abd Sue has kept in touch over all of these months. Such a brilliant venue. The manager sorted out the volume of the music and band in the room. They really could not have been more accommodating. I can not recommend this place any higher!! Sue was a total star. The bouncers were great, manager great. Thank you all so much xxx

This place is Heaven. Great ambience in this fantastic lively pub. Tom was brilliant in hosting us when we wanted to watch a specific football game. Absolutely love coming here, best pub in Cardiff.

Great Saturday night band venue. I’m biased because my Sons band ‘The Striplights’ treat The Claude as their home ground as they perform here regularly. As they are this Saturday 25th March. Obviously I’ll be there. You should come too, no gifts or drinks needed for me. Just come along and see one of South Wales top bands.

Solo quiero decir un gran agradecimiento al personal de The Claude. Visité anoche para una comida de Navidad con amigos. La recepción fue maravillosa por parte del personal. Tom hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que nuestra visita era perfecta. -Muchas gracias.

A delightfully bonkers establishment where the decor resembles your eccentric uncle’s attic—if he hoarded rugby trophies and taxidermy. The ale menu is marvellous too. Quirky, welcoming, and utterly charming, The Claude is worth every trip hazard. Five stars.

Very friendly staff and good food . Clean and tidy pub and value for money

Our local pub which has always been a go to for a good atmosphere without being too rough or too gastro pub. Friendly staff on the door who actually look after customers rather than treat students like trash.

Fui al Claude a almorzar con mi familia ayer, tuve un maravilloso asado de domingo, el pavo estaba tan bien cocinado y la comida se presentó con cuidado, el servicio fue fantástico a pesar de que estaban ocupados y la joven que nos cuida no podía hacer lo suficiente para ayudar, sin duda volveré

Had a lovely meal and great choice at the bar. Very friendly and chatty staff team. Will definitely be returning. Thanks

Had a great evening here, decent food, great bar and some cracking live music.

Great pub, nice prices and lovely atmosphere 😁

Reunión escolar. Fantástico. La comida buffet era increíble. Personal brillante. 10 de 10 . Pudimos decorar la habitación como queríamos y nada era demasiado problema. Definitivamente se utilizaría como lugar de nuevo.

A nice pub, we were dissapointed that the vegetarian roast option has been removed from the menu however the prices were very good and the staff very friendly. The pub used to do a side dish of roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings and it would be nice to have that back as some form of veggie option

Great to see live music but it's in a small area near the entrance, with a tiny dancefloor, so doesn't really work. You can't hear each other speak! It was even loud in the snug bar. Mosy beers are quite pricey here too for an out of town pub. Pool tables are a quid a game but are always busy, broken cues with no tips too. Good beer garden, with big screens.

The best pub for students in Cathays, very cheap pints, friendly staff, and always a great atmosphere.

A lovely and friendly atmosphere , very kind workers and the best evening out for students .

Excelente pub local para mí en Cardiff. Proporciona una amplia gama de opciones de alimentos y bebidas a precios muy razonables Personal muy servicial y amable también.

Qué precioso domingo por la tarde en el Claude. Mientras que el pub estaba muy ocupado debido a la maratón de Cardiff y el fútbol, el personal todavía se las arregló para ir más allá para todos nosotros, nada era demasiado problema. Muchas gracias a Caitlyn y Shannon. Eres un mérito absoluto para tu trabajo. Incluso el perro estaba contento con su salchicha.

Proper pub. No messing about. Staff love the banter. Would definitely recommend to a fellow lad.

Very fun, food was nice, would come again

* Unmatched atmosphere * Good craic * Proper gert banter from the staff

Lovely place, sound dons all aboot

Big pub in an area of mostly ethnic food outlets. They do food and have an entertainment space.

Great pub. Be careful of e-scooters.

A vibrant atmosphere walking in, the halloumi salad was a winner, food service was slow, bar service was good and waiting staff were great

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Came for Sunday dinner - told at least an hour wait for food. Not even offered a free soft drink to wait, so we left and went to the Claude pub instead. The following week, stupidly returned with four friends (six of us in total) at 2:30pm - they were no longer serving Sunday dinner - that they advertised was served all day. We left and went elsewhere. Again, a wasted journey. There won’t be a third time and I would urge others not to bother wasting your time.

Good food as per usual and, as long as you don't go in the evenings, not full of students

the good was very nice and we received the best service from staff

We enjoyed a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday. Charlie and Sam, the young men who were serving us were fantastic. We all enjoyed the food and I would definitely return again. Thank you

Spacious pub, good value food and a great selection of beers.

Served by Charlie was very nice!! Loved my pints and food! Thanks :)

Lovely relaxing afternoon meal out

Great atmosphere, good staff and extremely cheap food and drinks.

what a great pub lunch for my aunts birthday,fish was amazing just enough,great atmosphere,very helpful staff and server.wine was good and great prices.

Great pub, went with some friends to watch the Euro's finals. Great atmosphere, very clean toilets. Great outdoor bar area, would definitely go again 👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾

This is one of the finest sports bars in the area, a really large beer garden with outside screens where you can watch different matches. Good selection of beers and speedy food menu.

Sunday lunch, best there is, for value shows how it can be done

Amazing! Great staff, great music and great food! Loved it!

Very nice pub, I recommend it. The food is very tasty, its presentation needs to be worked on.

I was having a lovely drink in the sun and decided to get some food. When my food arrived I was told to get cutlery from inside. When I went in there was none available. I asked the lady if I could please have some and was told it would be brought to my table. 15 minutes later when this did not arrive I decided the only option was to eat my food as there was no staff to be seen. A better experience would be that cutlery is brought with food so I dont have to use my hands.

Not impressed, ordered the same round three time and charged three different prices! I hadn’t noticed until I had gotten home. Also me and my friends stayed until closing, the bouncer came around after they called last orders and said we had 20 minutes to drink up which wasn’t a problem. Until he came around five minutes later and gave us plastic cups and asked us to transfer our drinks into them and leave

Nice bar but the food was dreadful. Tiny slice of pie advertised as gigantic 😂

Decent little pub, good atmosphere with fairly expensive drinks/food

Quick service in a busy pub. Great out door area

Excellent place to store bikes with the bouncers situated on the front of the pub most of the time! If only this became a general knowledge to the public over the warmer months, with perhaps other incentives outside of sport for presumably bringing in more active trustee cyclists on the front gate! Cheers!

Honestly Don't understand why I can't wear my cap inside

Great pub food, had an amazing bacon egg and mushroom roll, lush. Will be going back for more! Nice atmosphere, good music and great service.

Gotta be one of the best beer gardens in Wales

nice pub, yummy beer, good service, should get more windows - bit dark like

Lovely big spacious pub. Pool tables (but they need to get more cues). Food not bad for the price.

Pub grub, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, I've have had a lot better in other of the same chain and sane menu. Staff and service are great though and great pub 👍

1st time in this pub, impressed by the atmosphere staff and everything here. I didn’t eat in this occasion so can’t comment on the food but will another day.Great pub and I look forward to my next visit. Good Guinness too😎🍻🍻

Friendly staff, great service, food was tasty and good quality for a very reasonable price! Would visit again 👍

Easily one of the best pubs in Cardiff. Brilliant prices, especially if you’re a student. The deals they have for food are unbeatable - can’t say no to 2 mains for £11.99. Staff are lovely and they have 3 pool tables. Also, it’s a historic pub that’s been around a long time. Interior is lovely and you can always get a space. There’s also an area if you want a more quiet drink. Beer garden is also one of the best I’ve seen in Cardiff

Been going to this pub for years and when querying a drink a member of staff was really rude so I said I have every right to question my drink which I was told no I didn’t so I left it but when my son went to the bar and ordered the drinks every thing was fine until the bar staff member seen me and called the original bar staff member and then they both mocked me both laughing, really disappointing, like I said been going to this pub for years, maybe because two weeks ago when wales played England this pub was at it’s full capacity the pub feels they don’t need to listen to the customer (really disappointing) pubs are slowly getting back normality so feel disappointed that staff can act in this manner

Great atmosphere for the rugby and fab music after

Great pub for sports, pool and a cold one👌

We were visiting family in Cardiff and wanted to watch the match and have a few drinks. We decided to go to The Claude and so glad with our decision. Great atmosphere and we were made to feel so welcome. By the end of the day we felt like one of the locals. Bar staff were so friendly and chatty even though they were rushed off their feet. Thoroughly recommend The Claude and we will try the food next time. Thanks everyone for a great afternoon!!

Came in for food and a few drinks, Lovely staff, very welcoming, good vibes,would recommend to a friend, beer garden is the place to be!

Always a good night at the local, great atmosphere and staff!

The Claude rocks for rugby fans! Epic matches, buzzing atmosphere, awesome food and drinks. Perfect hangout for game days with friends. Great staff and good gin choices.

Tried to get in their tonight. It’s our local family pub which is usually very good and lively. Went for an Indian down the road with some friends. Arranged to meet back at the Claude (22:25). Was greeted by very rude bouncers saying that they had stopped entry, even though a select ‘favourite’ few were allowed entry. I tried to explain that my family were already inside and had been for some time but he was just plain rude. The short bald one with attitude. You need more training!! Normally this is a great pub but unfortunately your door staff have let you down on this occasion. A apology from management would be greatly received!!

Great pub, excellent sports viewing area outside with heaters and very efficient and friendly bar staff!

Most disgusting filthy toilets I have seen for years. As you walked in the stench hit you, it was unbelievably bad. There were two toilets with out of order signs, one with the seat hanging off, one with no lock and one with the floor flooded. This was not at the end of a busy night, it was early Saturday afternoon.

If the old lady behind the bar spent more effort in her customer service than she did moaning about the pub and the company being nothing but crooks it would have been excellent service which is a shame as it’s usually really nice in here but is not what you want to be listening too or greeted by when spending your money. Sad!!

Great place with amazing food. Bouncers are horrible and ruin everything. They need to be sacked!! Would be 5 stars if they had decent bouncers that weren’t stuck up!

Came for a festive lunch in a large group last Sunday, Wow, food was Amazing, staff as always warm and welcoming, nothing is ever to much trouble, the new assistant manager was superb, what an amazing team they have, would highly recommend the Claude to everyone

After such a poor experience last time the manager gave us a voucher and the changes he made were obvious . Thanks will be back regularly again

Beer ok. Some of the worst customer service ever. Is a face like a smacked a rs company policy ? Can I get some change for the pool table ….. I can’t open the till without the manager……pause…. So you’d like me to come back later …..yeah. Just unbelievable. Sorry for ruining your day lounging around doing nothing. Not as if the tables are dirty and there are lots of dirty glasses around. I mean I’m only the customer paying £5. Bring on AI robots. At least they can be programmed to be nice
