🚨 Exciting news for night owls in Cardiff! The Cardiff Arms pub on Churchill Way just scored permission to keep the party going until 2:30 am on weekdays! 🍻🎉
The decision was made at a council meeting despite residents’ concerns about potential noise. Locals living at Landmark Place voiced worries about the “uncontrollable” noise, but the pub owners have agreed to conditions set by the police and pollution control authorities to keep things in check. 🎶🔇
Councillor Chris Waver chimed in, stating that the longer hours are turning The Cardiff Arms into more of a nightclub, which wasn’t the initial intent. He’d prefer it to stay a “traditional pub” with an 11 pm closing time, like others in the city centre. 🌙🍺
But no worries, the pub’s rep assures everyone it won’t become a nightclub, stating, “To have a second nightclub on the same street would be commercial suicide.” They just want a fair game with city centre venues that already keep the taps flowing in the wee hours. 🕺🍹
Meanwhile, Cardiff’s Canal Quarter is seeing a transformation, with the opening of new spots like The Cardiff Arms adding to the buzz of this emerging hotspot. 🌆✨ The area aims to become a vibrant mix of offices, shops, restaurants, and other bars.
As always, there’s a balancing act between keeping Cardiff lively and ensuring residents can enjoy their peace. What’s your take? Share in the comments below! 💬👇
