Our selection of traditional and contemporary tapas is available from midday daily. For those with a sweet tooth, leave a bit of room for our homemade tapas desserts and Churros.
We are extremely family-friendly and offer a ChildrenŌĆÖs menu, Smoothies and Milkshakes. High chairs are available along with colouring-in books.

During the course of the evening, the Bar transforms into an intimate and lively cocktail lounge with an atmosphere, service and cross-section of clientelle which will ensure that the Bar 44 experience is not one which is easily forgotten.

User

Would like to say a big 'thank you' to you all. I don't tolerate garlic very well and you were so kind taking the time to find out what were the best things for me to eat. As a result I had fantastic food to eat without worrying. Thank you so much

Would 100% recommend it to everybody, plus Harry the bartender makes an amazing Sangria. Will be going again very soon!

Bar 44 very nice chilled atmosphere , great food, house wine was lovely highly recommended

User

I've ate at the Cowbridge bar many times before and today I visited the Cardiff venue! I must say the bar was just fantastic, lovely decor, great food and the front of house guy was brilliant! Well done Bar 44, it's great to see a thriving group!!! Here's to many more to come, maybe Bridgend? ’┐Į’┐Į

User

I was on a mission to find Bar 44 whilst me and my mum were in Penarth today. We popped in for lunch and were in ore of it all. Amazing atmosphere, great team, some of the best food I've had in a long time. Can't wait to return, maybe have a cocktail or two

User

I have never really been a fan of tapas before yesterday but you have completely changed my opinion on that matter. Fabulous food and wine; excellent service; and I even made a light out of the wine bottle :-) ( I can't post you a pic of that sorry it's not giving me an option to do so)

User

Had a group meal in the private room upstairs on Saturday - amazing food and the staff looked after us extremely well!! Have never had a bad experience here and have had many, many visits since Bar44 first arrived in Cowbridge back in the day. Thanks again for making it an excellent night for us - itŌĆÖs not often we all manage to be in the same place at the same time!

User

Fantastic food, great staff and the absolute best G & T! If you appreciate tapas youŌĆÖll love this place!

User

Fantastic evening yesterday for New Years Eve, top draw from start to finish! Cava & canap├®s on arrival (oooo that pea crostini!) followed by so much tasty food I'm still full the day after. The cod & the chicken were a highlight and the whole menu had been well thought through.



The staff were brilliant & helped to make it such a good night. The atmosphere was buzzy and everyone dancing at the end of the evening made it great fun!



The DJ was a great touch and really added to the celebrations! Thanks for a fab night - here's to the next one!

User

Called yesterday before the Wales Ireland game and again after the match, from the guys on the door to the bar staff and floor staff all very friendly and great service. Will defo call again

User

Awesome place. Don't think I've ever had a bad dish or drink from here. Thanks to Mo for serving us last night, and ensuring we had a great time.

User

An impromptu evening, you accommodated us even though you were busy. They are the most authentic tapas I've tasted outside of Spain. Lovely staff, great atmosphere, amazing food and drink! Can't wait to come back.

User

Location good signage poor .Food average had a lot better at Isabella in porthcawl and Bridgend so bit disappointing for my birthday dinner . Waiter not to knowledgable fumbeld is explanation of dishes overall restaurant decent interior just overall not great.

User

Bar44 - Cardiff - the food itself was really nice but it took ages to get all of the dishes that we ordered because they were so busy. The staff weren't very friendly and although they knew in advance that we were a hen party of eight we were told to keep the noise down twice by a very rude member of staff. We weren't being any louder than any other table. It was noisy in the bar anyway with music playing and people laughing / having a good time. Generally very disappointing.
