    Creation

    Creation is a huge restaurant, bar and nightclub, all inside a Victorian dark-red brick building. Lunches are good, and the nightclub is cheesy but fun, with DJs talking over the music, and an age range from 18 to at least 65.

    Toucan Club

    This funky little space, all bold colours and swirly mosaics, is the centre of Cardiff's independent club scene, promoting funk, world music and cutting-edge hip hop, as well as exploring new beats and staging live dance acts, acoustic acts and performance poets. Well worth a look.

    Clwb Ifor Bach

    Truly an independent music great, Y Clwb has broken many a Welsh band since the early 1980s. It started as a venue for Welsh-language music in Anglophone Cardiff and has survived the Cool Cymru backlash with its reputation as Cardiff's most eclectic and important venue. It now hosts bands performing in many tongues and it's the best place to catch gigs by up-and-coming new acts as well as more established artists.
