If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend this place! ~ Atmosphere: It's a old homey pub with cushy couches and plenty of seating. However, even though the building is old, they do maintain it well. It's very clean and the outdoor area is very beautiful as well. ~ Customer Service: The only downside is that the service was quite slow, but from the looks of it there weren't many people running this place! It definitely has a more homestyle feel to it than a lot of other restaurants/pubs. You feel like you're dining at your grandma's house! The service was very friendly and welcoming and with a few drinks in between waits from the bar, the waiting time for your meal doesn't feel too bad at all. ~ Food: The highlight and why I'm giving 5 stars. Everything we had was fantastic and everyone in our group enjoyed our meals. My partner's auntie is a very picky eater and even she was happy with everything! I had the Slow-Braised Lamb Shank served with red wine and rosemary sauce, mashed potato, and veggies (broccoli and carrot). All in all a lovely meal! For £12.95 as well, I thought the price was very fair for lamb shank! The lamb was braised beautifully and the meat was extremely tender with a perfect sauce to match. --- Overall, the prices for everything was fair and extremely worth it. The portions were huge, so we all left incredibly stuffed without a huge hole left in our wallets either! All in all a great lunch out. I would recommend The Unicorn to anyone!

What has happend to this pub, was warm, friendly, good food and good value…read more On Sinday 13th Jauuary arrived to be offered upstairs table as did not check all party mobile when I booked, which they were not, so seated by bar. Food was good, but did not have starter and had to wait 30+ minutes for mains, tried for 20minunites to order desert, but five staff either looked through or past us, once cycling group on sceen we were surrounded by sweaty, muddy cyclists and staff seem to have forgotten us. Paid for 2 courses despite not our fault ran out of time as allowed 1.5 hours for two courses and taxi on way, still got charged for food we did not have! Only concession was £2 off as wifi card reader not working! Gereral organisation was poor and waiting seemed to involve no one actually looking after our table, as dealt with three different staff.

Visited The Sally on Halloween night and thought it was wicked (tee hee, wicked - get it!). The…read moreplace has two very comfy lounges and a pool room with a decent table and decent cues (something alien these days to Cardiff). The bar lady was great - giving out free witches hats and halloween toys to the kids that came in trick or treating. The locals were also great - the pub had a real community feel to it. There's a lovely decked area in the front and a big garden at the back - I bet it's lovely in the summer. We had a blast playing pool and joshing with the regulars. Eventually got ousted off the pool table when a guy and his dad came in for their weekly one-off game. They each bet a fiver and winner takes the pot. The guy let his dad win (by a whisker) - what a gent! If you want wine, you have to buy one of those small one glass bottles (don't seem to be much of a call for the old vino up that neck of the woods) but other than that, the bar was well stocked. If you're in the area, I'd say give it a go. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Solid third date kind of a spot (dark & sexy) but also a cool place to hang with friends. Cocktails were good, though we went right after the Oasis gig so they had a reduced menu for the weekend.

I wish that I could give this place more than 5 stars. This is absolutely one of my favourite…read moreplaces that I have ever been - and certainly the best cocktails that I have ever had. My husband took me here as part of my birthday treat a few months ago and I will be forever grateful that he did. It is really quite difficult to put in to words just how good the cocktails are. The premise of this place is that they make 'molecular cocktails' - essentially cocktails that they have scientifically concocted so that all of the ingredients complement each other molecularly. For just £50 per person, you are treated to a 7-course cocktail menu. With each delicious cocktail you are brought a unique side dish that has been chosen specifically for that drink. We were given such unusual dishes (including slices of cured meats and filled pasta!) that oddly did enhance the taste of the cocktails. As well as the delicious cocktails, what this place also has going for it is the decor. It is very sleek, elegant and gothic. The service is also incredibly good as well. I would absolutely recommend going to this cocktail bar if you can. You would be stupid not to go here. It is absolutely worth visiting. I cannot wait to return.
