Centro is the brand new SU bar at UWIC's Cyncoed campus. Anyone who ever visited the previous bar, Taffy's, will be pleased to know that Centro is bigger and you don't have to run from the main building in the rain to get to it. It also doesn't have that weird smell that Taffy's had.
However, I have to admit that I kind of miss Taffy's. Taffy's had big, comfy, leather sofas, was split into a couple of different sections, and there was hardly ever anyone in there. In comparison, Centro is all hard uncomfortable seats, stools that are the wrong height for the tables they're meant to be for, and there's not a single sofa to catch a cheeky nap on between lectures.
Comparisons to Taffy's aside though, Centro isn't that bad. The downstairs section with its bright, stripy seats and pool tables is funky, and there are quite a few different seating areas to choose from. The upstairs part does resemble a cafeteria a little bit, with its hard pine tables and chairs and bright lighting, but then it is the cafe bit, so I can't complain too much.
The food and drink is pretty much the same as before, only it all looks a lot classier now. There are sandwiches and chips and things, and general consensus is that it's loads better than the canteen.
One thing I really do hate is the toilets. These toilets remind me of public toilets that drug addicts hang out in. While the toilets at Taffy's had one or two toilet seats ripped of, these horrible stainless steal things don't even have toilet seats. If you're in there during the day, I would definitely recommend going to the other toilets (that are really very close) and not venturing into the ones that Centro provides. read more
