Discover more about Revolution Cardiff

A multi‑room city centre venue with theatrical character

Revolution Cardiff occupies a prominent spot on Castle Street and is laid out across multiple levels and themed areas that each have their own mood: a main bar with theatrical lighting and a giant disco ball, a back bar, an upstairs clubroom for late‑night dancing, and an outdoor vodka garden tucked away from the street. The layout was designed to let groups flow between different kinds of nights — from a bustling cocktail service to a club atmosphere once the lights go down.

Drinks, sharing plates and playful presentation

The menu places cocktails front and centre: signature serves, towers and large sharing drinks appear alongside classic cocktails and a selection of spirits. Food leans toward approachable bar staples — burgers, pizzas, grazing and sharing boards — often presented in bright, instagram‑aware styles and with options for vegetarians and vegans. The venue also runs themed offers such as 2‑for‑1 cocktails and structured brunch packages during set times.

Design touches and event flexibility

Interiors combine exposed rafters, strand lighting and playful posters with shiny accents such as mirror and glitter elements; a giant disco ball and arcade touches underline the venue’s party focus. Spaces within can be hired for private events, from small karaoke booths to larger hire for birthdays and corporate evenings. The combination of distinct rooms makes the bar suitable for events that want private corners alongside open party spaces.

Crowd, atmosphere and sound levels

Expect a lively, music‑forward atmosphere that shifts through the day: daytime service produces a bright dining feel, while evenings bring louder music, DJ sets and a club vibe that continues into the early hours. Sound levels rise noticeably after dark; the upstairs area and clubroom are the noisiest zones. The venue’s energy suits groups and celebrations rather than quiet conversations.

Accessibility, practical features and signage

The entrance on Castle Street is prominent and the venue advertises accessibility features for many of its areas, though some internal levels and rooms can involve steps or changes in level typical of older city‑centre buildings. Staffed bars, toilets, private karaoke pods and event booking options are part of the offering; signage inside helps identify the different bars and hire spaces.

Why it matters in Cardiff’s nightscape

Placed directly across from Cardiff Castle and within the core of the city’s evening district, Revolution Cardiff functions as a sizeable, flexible nightlife anchor: it blends casual daytime dining and drinks with late‑night clubbing, group‑focused experiences and event hire. The combination of a broad cocktail programme, themed rooms and late closing hours gives it a distinct role for celebratory nights and larger social meetups in the city centre.
