🍻 WHERE TO DRINK BEFORE/AFTER THE GIG

1. Tiny Rebel Cardiff – Westgate Street

If you love your pints like you love your Britpop – loud, bold and craft as hell – Tiny Rebel is your stop. Try the Clwb Tropica and get stuck into some arcade machines. Right by the stadium = result.
➡️ Vibe: Hipster meets hooligan
➡️ Distance to stadium: 2 min stumble

2. The City Arms – Quay Street

Proper old-school boozer with a belting beer selection and the best locals banter. You’ll probably hear someone argue about the best Oasis album. (It’s definitely Morning Glory)
➡️ Vibe: Real ale, real chat, real fans
➡️ Distance: Practically touching the stadium

3. Elevens Bar & Grill – Castle Street

Owned by Gareth Bale, so you can tell the footy-loving Oasis lot will be flocking here. Classy but not pretentious, loads of big screens, good grub, and you’ll spot a Gallagher haircut or five.
➡️ Vibe: Sporty, slick, posh pint lads
➡️ Distance: 3–5 mins walk

4. The Cambrian Tap – Custom House Street

Sister to Brains Brewery and a great shout for a classic pre-gig pint. Great range of Welsh ales and usually decent music blasting.
➡️ Vibe: Classic Cardiff pint stop
➡️ Distance: 5 mins walk

5. The Philharmonic – St. Mary Street

A lil’ fancier and good if you’re starting early. Great rooftop, cheeky cocktails, and guaranteed to be full of Oasis karaoke beforehand.
➡️ Vibe: Glam meets Gallaghers
➡️ Distance: 8 mins walk

🍔 WHERE TO EAT BEFORE/AFTER THE GIG

1. Burger Theory – St. Mary Street

Burgers so big they’d make Bonehead blush. Juicy patties, loaded fries, and enough sauces to drown a Mancunian.
🔥 Top Pick: “The Don” with extra jalapeños
➡️ Perfect for: Soaking up your 4th pint
➡️ Distance: 7 mins walk

2. Got Beef – Cowbridge Road East

Bit of a walk or short Uber, but if you want gourmet burgers with mad flavours (Sriracha candy bacon??), this is your temple.
🔥 Top Pick: “Heisenburger” – say no more
➡️ Perfect for: Pre-gig feasting
➡️ Distance: 15–20 min walk or quick ride

3. Asador 44 – Quay Street

If you’re feeling Gallagher & Glam, this swanky Spanish grill has next-level steaks and wine. Bit posh, but hey – you’re rock royalty tonight.
➡️ Perfect for: Pre-gig date night
➡️ Distance: 3 mins walk

4. The Grazing Shed – Barrack Lane

Fast, fresh, and very Welsh. Famous for their “Super Tidy Burgers” – and yes, they really are tidy, butt.
🔥 Top Pick: “Spicy Uncle Pedro”
➡️ Perfect for: Grab ‘n’ go before heading in
➡️ Distance: 5 mins walk

5. Pettigrew Tea Rooms – For the morning after

A lush brekkie spot in Bute Park if your head’s banging and your throat’s sore from chanting. Tea, cake, and bacon rolls. Sorted.
➡️ Perfect for: “Champagne Supernova” recovery
➡️ Distance: 10 mins from city centre

🛑 Bonus Survival Tips

  • Toilets in pubs will be war zones — go early, go often 💦
  • Food vans outside the stadium sell overpriced mystery meat… get fed first!
  • Taxi rank outside Cardiff Central will be mayhem — book ahead or prepare to queue like it’s Glasto
  • Bring cash — some smaller spots still a bit behind the tap-to-pay game

🎶 Warm-Up Playlist While You Wait

  • “Live Forever”
  • “Cigarettes & Alcohol”
  • “Supersonic”
  • “Whatever”
  • “Little by Little”
  • “The Shock of the Lightning”
  • “Talk Tonight” (for the Uber home)

🙌 Final Shout

Whether you’re team Noel, team Liam, or just in it for a night of nostalgic bangers and cheap lager, Cardiff’s ready to go full mad fer it. See you in the queue, pint in hand, shades on even if it’s raining — because it’s not just a gig, butt, it’s a moment in rock ‘n’ roll history. 🎤🔥
