About Cambrian Tap

Cambrian Tap is a grassroots music venue in Cardiff, Cardiff. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.

This listing is part of the Cardiff venue directory.

The Cambrian Tap stands on the corner of St Mary Street and Caroline Street (Chip Alley) in the heart of Cardiff city centre — a craft-beer refit of a traditional pub with two changing real ales, a garden, Wi-Fi and a dog-friendly welcome. It's a busy city-centre spot that regularly hosts live music alongside quiz, comedy and karaoke nights, making it a handy mixed-genre stage for both originals and covers. A house PA, guitar and bass amps and a couple of vocal mics keep things plugged in. Generally open noon to midnight daily, with later hours toward the weekend. Part of the S.A. Brain estate.
