The Philharmonic - bar with small club below, rather cramped, mostly locals with a few medics and no real drink offers.

Tiger Tiger - we found this review on the club's Facebook page: "Will Bonner (Cardiff University) wrote - What has happened to this night? I hadn't been for a few weeks but i went last night and it was pretty dead and the music was awful all night. When i last went, it was an awesome event with fun songs but seriously disappointed right now. Also, ive never seen that hotdog/burger/popcorn thing anywhere lol."
