The Mackintosh Hotel Cardiff is a welcoming, laid-back British pub tucked into the heart of Cardiff’s Cathays neighborhood. With its traditional pub interior, hearty menu, and easygoing charm, it’s a staple for locals and visitors alike. Just a short walk or quick ride from major concert venues, it’s an ideal stop for food and drinks before a show.
