If you’re looking to shake up your usual night out, Kongs Cardiff has just raised the bar — literally. The huge city-centre venue, already known as Cardiff’s ultimate adult playground, has undergone a major refurb, adding a new bar area, a bigger dance floor, and more games to keep the good times rolling.
Kongs is no ordinary bar. Alongside its wide selection of craft ales, cocktails and margaritas, you’ll find a retro-inspired playground of arcade machines, digital darts, ping pong tables and pool, all under one roof. With its mix of entertainment, atmosphere, and late-night energy, it’s the perfect spot for after-work drinks, big nights out, or weekend catch-ups.
And the food? That’s where Kongs truly sets itself apart. The venue is home to Fire and Flank, Cardiff’s very own award-winning street food vendor. Fresh from being crowned Best Main Dish at the British Street Food Awards, Fire and Flank are famous for their flame-cooked flanked steak, piled high on chips or their now-legendary mash, topped with house chimichurri. For the more adventurous, there’s even a 3D-printed beetroot steak — proof that food can be both fun and forward-thinking.
With a sister venue in Bristol and Underdog also behind the Cardiff site, Kongs has long been a favourite in the city — but with its latest revamp, it’s better than ever.
Kongs is a great spot to chill out with mates, grab some food, hear local DJs and play some retro arcade games.
