Bar Guide Cardiff has so much to offer you on your Party Weekend that you can t go wrong. The weekend Nightlife scene centres around the West End including the infamous, St Mary Street, the cosmopolitan Mill Lane & the recent Brewery Quarter development. The second main nightlife district with a number of sophisticated cocktail and wine bars inhabits Greyfriars Road and Windsor Place in the East End.
