About

Located in vibrant Cardiff, The Kings offers a lively nightlife experience with its moderate pricing and welcoming vibe.

The venue prides itself on its friendly staff and convenient features like outdoor seating and credit card payments.

A wide array of alcoholic beverages is available, with vodka slushies being a standout favorite among regulars. Music enthusiasts will appreciate the playlist packed with ABBA and Cher, spun by a charismatic drag queen DJ. The Kings is known for its compact and energetic dance floors, coupled with a variety of exciting events, making it a recommended spot for students looking to unwind.

Came on a Wednesday night, was quiet with a group hogging karaoke and the review would have been starred differently if the night ended there. Had a quiet half an hour, then after midnight it got busier with people actually drinking, rather than hogging a water on the smoking terrace. Honestly some of the best karaoke I’ve experienced, and I’m quite old. Great atmosphere, if only I knew where the earlier haunt was!

Nicole was really helpful with information on the venue and had plenty of shots which was great to purchase when the bar wasn't always the quickest option.
