I have been to the chapter on lots of occasions. Firstly the restaurant and bar areas has a great vibe about it and the food is first class, in fact it’s better than a lot of restaurants in the area. They cater for vegetarians and meat eaters so everyone should be happy. There is gallery and the exhibiter’s change regularly... More

over priced arts based venue. the food is nice, but portions small and not a large selection. The drinks cost too much and I found they were not as welcoming of children as I expected. More

Check their on-line offerings if you are visiting Cardiff. There's lots of small theatre groups and individual, often pleasantly quirky, exhibitions or performances. The two cinemas are great places to experience old and new releases without the brash, noisy, 'popcorn n' cola' atmosphere of the giant cinemas elsewhere. There's a fine informal bar and restaurant More

Interesting films, reasonable food, excellent beer choices. Does get crowded in the cafe/bar so need to pounce on a table when one becomes free. In my mind the only place to see a film in Cardiff. It eventually gets the more interesting 'mainstream' film as well as indies, so unless you want blockbusters, check it out. Children welcome. It can... More
