Default Cardiff

Me and some mates are off down to Cardiff for a Stag do on the 28th.

Anyone know good places to go and which pubs/clubs are the best?

And are we likely to get in anywhere or can we get on guest lists for places?

Ta in advance

"They'll stab you and burn you!"

I was nicely told by a local when we were working near Merther.

I'm at Swansea bay for a wedding at the end of the month, I shall be doing my bestest local accent when there to disguise my English accent.

St Mary street is where you want. Loads of pubs and clubs all on the one street. But be warned, all the popular pubs will charge you entrance money (usually £5) if you go in after 9pm on a Friday or Saturday. That would make it an expensive pub crawl.

I spent a month working there (May-June). Now I know why the Welsh get the reputation of being sheepshaggers. The sheep are more atractive than most of the local women.

There is a place in Merthyr called "The Gurnos" it may as well be mentioned at the same time as Beirut, Baghdad and Basrah. The Shops have razorwire on them as does the Cop Shop. Think Belfast in the 70's and it is also the Sick Note Capitol of the whole UK


Stab and burn may be but the people are f**king fantastic. But, I wouldn't live there

Not true about all the pubs!

Kathryn Jenkins, Catherine Zeta Jones, Charlotte Church, Kylie Minogue (well her rellies are from Maestag), therefore Danni Minogue, Connie (the bird from that Maria thing). But with sheep and wellies on the edge of a cliff they always push back
