Barocco Pub - Cardiff

Visit the Barbocco and think it’s wonderful The decor is wonderful baroque style not original but certainly stylish and crests great atmosphere It’s a spacious bar right in the centre just off The Hayes The bar serves a wide range of good quality lagers ales spirits and cocktails. Service is good friendly and unpretentious I can’t work out why but it can be quieter than some city centre bars However this in some ways is a plus point as you can get a seat Although not very Baroque it’s also a great place to watch rugby There is a giant pull down screen and several smaller screens The bar is run my man who used to run the Cardiff Rugby bar down the road Anyway really recommend the Barocco in Cardiff

This was my first visit to this bar since it was sold by S A Brain Co, my initial reaction on entering was that little had changed to the interior. I ordered a drink for both myself and wife and as we were going to try the food, I asked if I could start a bar tab. It soon transpired that the EPOS (Electronic point of sale) system was not set up to handle my request. In this day and age I find this very unusual and detrimental to any hospitality outlet that wants to drive the food side of their business. We did not stay to sample the food although the drinks we had were fine and the service via a young man was very good.

Went for dinner prior to visit to St David’s Hall. Staff very helpful and informative about the menu. A really nice menu and didn’t know what to choose. We opted for the ribs, a hotdog and the macaroni cheese with garlic bread between 2 of us! It was all so lovely and too much for us! Lol. We were asked if everything was ok with our food, which it was, and as we were leaving the staff acknowledged us and said thank you. A lovely place!

1st time in this new bar staff very friendly and attentive only popped in for one and stayed for lunch small mac and cheese best every tasted better than Pastures Bristol! The chef came out to make sure all was OK and was quite open to tell us his secret on how he cooked it. Would highly recommend a visit

What a Gem of a place. Atmosphere was brilliant, service top notch. Katie particularly went above and beyond to make sure our night was enjoyable. During covid times our time here certainly lifted our spirits and allowed us to enjoy and not worry. Tots recommend!!!
