    Perched on the edge of the river Taff near the Millennium Stadium's walkway, next door to Holiday…read moreInn Cardiff, Callaghan's is an Irish pub although there's more emphasis on live gigs than anything particularly Irish. I think they still have Irish folk on, on one night a week - but other nights see open mic, Celtic rock, Djs, and so on. It has outdoor balcony seating which overlooks the river, with a fairly spacious garden area with picnic benches. On match days the place inevitably fills up with sports fans very quickly, as it's just a couple of minutes' walk around the corner from the stadium, but apart from that it's also popular with some students and live music fans.

    Callaghan's is the large Irish bar placed directly across from Cooper's Field and just behind the…read moreMillenium Stadium. And when I say large, I mean it. I've been there countless times, and I don't think I've managed to see the entire thing yet. I've seen bands play on the main stage, gone to a different part of the pub and been unable to hear them. It's actually quite a wonderful aspect of the place. Being directly below the large Holiday Inn hotel, the pub is peppered with load-bearing pillars that can't be removed which adds a little something to the ambience of the place. It closes off small portions of the bar so that patrons can feel like they have a degree of privacy, which is always nice. The pub is especially great on home match days, when they roll down the screens, turn on the projectors and let the atmosphere from the stadium next door seep into the crowd. It's a bit of a nightmare afterward, having to navigate the stadium crowd and the pub punters, but it's worth it for the experience. In short, the beer is cold, the cider is crisp, the whiskys are many and the atmosphere is great, and that's all that matters.

    I like Walkabout, it's great bar that isn't too fancy, just a simple sports bar that serves great…read morefood and has pretty good prices. I mostly come here in the day to watch the football (On huge screens, they also have 3D aswell now) and eat a meal, though I sometimes come in on a night out and I can't honestly say it's ever caused me any grief. The walkabout member card system is amazing - everything becomes 20% (ish) cheaper and it pays for itself after a few visits. Obviously it's a chain so don't expect high class - but it does the job really well, definitely recommend it !

    Ambiance: Walkabout is an Australian-themed bar but from what I've seen it's not really…read moreAussie-themed in terms of decor and things of that nature, but moreso with the food. It's really large and spacious which I like and dedicates itself hugely to broadcasting sports on giant screens as well as multiple smaller TVs. Customer Service: This is probably where Walkabout gets 1 star off. The customer service really isn't the best. Admittedly, it's not like they're rude, but a tad bit unprofessional. A guy who served me was clearly tired, most likely hungover, and not friendly or enthusiastic at all. If you order food, employees are a bit overeager to clear your plates for some strange reason. I had a huge bowl of chips still untouched and was asked if I wanted it cleared... wtf? Food: Reaaaally realllly good. It may be just a sports bar rather than a proper restaurant, but don't underestimate the food. I had Aussie-Style Steak Pie (comes with mashed potatoes, mushy peas, gravy) and it was one of the best meat pies I've ever had. I even started craving another one a few hours after finishing it. The bowl of chips was really great as well - covered with cheese and served with a side of dipping sauce of your choice. I chose Garlic Mayonnaise and it went fantastic and delicious with the chips! (Also great with the mashed potatoes in the Aussie-Style Steak Pie meal). --- Overall, I'm a fan of Walkabout and would come here again. It's definitely a top-rate sports bar that has televisions everywhere, decently priced drinks and food, and deliciousss meat pies!
