The Bootlegger Cardiff

Standing proud among other independent venues on Womanby Street, a street known for its powerful stance for live music to be played, is The Bootlegger. This spacious locale will thrill you with its delights up and down stairs, behind a small unassuming facade on the street.

Reclaimed wood, beaten metal and local graffiti works all come together to create a stylish yet comfortable atmosphere, serving up a reminder of times past when Prohibition ruled. Beats and tunes glide in the air through the doors enticing you to explore the inner sanctum of our beautiful venue. Live music and DJs set the night on fire where you can drink, dance, and delight in the wonders of The Bootlegger.
