    Chilli's

    Formerly the University of Wales student union, Chilli's is a stylish chill-out bar and terrace with two dance floors, popular with students on weeknights, but pulling in a mixed crowd at weekends when they have Lamerica (www.lamericapromotions.com), a brilliant soulful/funky house night.
