Bar 44 is another one of those places that seems to be trying to do absolutely everything at once…read more Not content with being a coffee shop, it wants to be a cocktail bar and a tapas lounge too. In principle it's fine but I just can't seem to shake the feeling that it's just trying a bit hard to appease absolutely everyone and be all things to all patrons. The cocktails are really great so it would make sense to pick one thing and focus on it rather than trying to be the jack of all trades but master of none. The classics start at a fiver and you can upgrade the alcohol to a premium brand for a little extra. I sort of disagree with that because really they should be using good quality booze in their cocktails anyway. The bar staff are skilled and knowledgeable and able to rustle up a delicious virgin drink that will satisfy even the saintliest of creatures. Atmosphere wise it's a four out of five, very cosy but also vibrant enough to keep you from nodding off (an urge I often get in windowless underground cocktail bars). I just wish that they would make up their minds and focus on one thing though because instead of being good, this place could really be great.

If you're after something perhaps a little more substantial the menu also includes larger meals. The little dishes (also available as main courses) are pretty reasonably priced at £5, with a 3 for 2 offer available at lunchtime. Whilst the main dishes are a little more expensive at around £15 each, they are extremely delicious and incredibly well presented so I do believe are worth the price. The staff are all very friendly, and despite the upmarket/trendy atmosphere of the place are thankfully not pretentious. The ambiance of this restaurant is particularly good at Christmas time when it's full of very pretty white fairy light which together with the pretty Christmas trees adorning Llandaff high street, really put you in the festive mood!

All of their wines are tasted and only those of high quality make the list. They also have a list to suit all the different prices ranges. The list will seek regular alterations in order to satisfy the needs of those who want to make a quick simple choice as well as those who like to browse and consider different options. For example for those who want to get a bit more involved they have a Spanish List including no less than 10 red Rioja, so there's plenty of vine-based reasons to come back another time.

Nice crowd here too. A day later I returned with my wife just around their closing time and while they had indeed closed up for the night - the staff was having their end-of-week toasts - they STILL very hospitable allowed us to sit and enjoy a glass or 2, rather than simply asking us to leave.

What I found from their Cargo location in Bristol's Wapping Wharf was a slightly pricey, though not overpriced, but delicious meal with incredible mains and sides. If you want to skip the long form review, its good and you should definitely go. First, our mains. I chose the *KFC Chicken Katsu Curry and my wife picked the Ground Pork Tantanmen ramen. Part of the reason we had chosen the Cargo location was my wife wanting a good soup and the Tantanmen fit the bill. We barely got it in the picture it was so good. The stock was a bit creamy and had that good spice/heat that sits in the back of the throat. The noodles and pork were delicious and cooked perfectly. The *KFC (for Korean Fried Chicken) Katsu Curry was great, the curry sauce being separate was ideal, and the chicken was juicy and tender without being greasy. Both dishes were really well portioned for a mains price. The sides were plentiful and also well priced with umami ribs, toasted edamame, grilled pak choy, charshu pork belly, and a seasoned egg. The umami ribs were the priciest but were delicious and fall off the bone good. Would have liked a little more meat on them but great either way. The charshu pork belly was incredible, tender and a savory sweet. The toasted edamame really surprised as did the grilled pak choy, though I preferred the edamame. My wife enjoyed the egg but admitted it would have been better added to the ramen. Delicious food that will definitely bring us back for more.
