Barfly Club, Cardiff > Reviews (4)

The Barfly is one of Cardiff's few rock clubs.
It is situated to the right of Cardiff Castle. And just on the end of Queens Street.
It is a relatively small venue.

To gain access to the club once you have gone through the door you have got to make your way downstairs to the actually club.

Downstairs you have got cloakroom facilties, a bar, dance floor, stage and toilets.

The Cloakroom
The cloakroom costs £1 per item.

The Bar
There is a resonable sized bar at the Barfly. It serves all the beverages to please everyone in the room.
They sell Beer, Larger, Alcopops, spirits, softdrinks and fruit juices and all at reasonable prices.

The also generally tend to have a promotion on some form of drink. Ususally it is bottles of carlsberg for £1, which is not too bad.

Dance Floor
The dance floor / social area is not as big as other clubs, it can get to be a bit of a tight squeese if it is a busy night. It is bascially all standing however, there are a few stools in there.

Music
This is an alternative club, so please dont expect to hear the sugerbabes.

Most of its nights are filled with live bands performing up until around 11pm to which the dj will take over.

It is a good venue to catch a band
The stage is really small and you get to be so close to the band. It is because of this there is a really good atmosphere.
As it is also a small venue, when you go to see a band the sound is usually excellent quaility.

The music that follows the band is compiled by the resident DJ. It ranges from rock, punk, metal, indie and emo.

This club is definately worth checking out, especially if there is a band playing that you really want to see.

Plus if you do see a band there, there tickets are at a resonable fee.
