Barfly Club, Cardiff

As the other opinion on the Barfly club is positive, I had to put down my thoughts as they differ somewhat. There are 3 Barflys, in London, Sheffield and Cardiff. I write about the one in Cardiff. The barfly is located right in the middle of town, on Kingsway opposite the castle and next to Beatties.(that's if anyone reading does actually decide to go there after reading my op!)

The Barfly is one of the newest clubs in Cardiff. It's situated opposite Cardiff Castle and i have to admit that i'm a big fan of it. Barfly plays indie music and is a good alternative to the infamous Clwb Ifor Bach that i'm not too impressed with.

Having lived near cardiff for a while now i have expereinced many a club and bar but i have to say Barfly remains at the top of my list! The location: Barlfy is in the centre of town but you do have to go around the corner by pizza hut or you'll miss it! The prices: this varies from whether its a disco night or a band night but its usually around £5 on a saturday night (live band than a disco) and the price to see bands varies on thier status. And some midweek nights are free. The music: Different nights for different music - check out the website www.barflyclub.com to see who's playing and ... more
