3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2012

The comedy acts were very good, however the compare did not deal with hecklers well and the atmosphere between the acts was awkward which was a shame!!! We got in on student discount so it was good value, but the drinks were quite expensive. It was disappointing that the bar closed before the last act so we all had to... More

Food and drink is very good value here. Monster fish finger sandwich is the best and the alcohol is too good value for money. The comic was good, and the tickets were so reasonably priced that its worth to go to see someone that you wouldn't normally do so. Keep an eye out for really cheap 'Work in Progress@ tours... More

Venue is generally poor, really uncomfortable seats, on the night we found the comedians weak, surrounded by stag parties, generally a bad experience. I would not return. More

Packed with a great atmosphere and a nice venue but the the entertainment was poor, food was cheap and quick but not good. Drinks expensive, I'm sure there were better ways to have spent our money on a Friday night in cardiff. More

From the moment, we walked in the door, this felt like being mugged. It would have been easier and more enjoyable to just let them empty our wallets before we went in. Drinks expensive. £15 for four pints of Guinness. £16 for five 33cc bottles of Sol. We didn't try the food, but there was an awful lot of it... More

Due to the acts always changing I cannot really comment on these, they were good on the night we visited though. The venue is Ok, could be better. The drinks choices are quite limited, no hot drinks are available for those that were driving. Food was Ok certainly not gourmet but was perfectly fine. The management ensure the crowds behave...

Have been to Cardiff Glee several times and not once have we had a bad experience. It is very well run and whilst there are Stag & Hen parties usually within the crowd, the management ensure everyone is well behaved so as not to spoil the enjoyment for others. Food certainly seems to have improved lately. It's located in the... More

Been to many comedy venues and this was by far the worst ever. As previously mentioned the show does not start on time with misleading announcements about it starting in 5 minutes and then another 5 minutes later about starting in 3 minutes. Drinks are expensive in plastic beakers and the chairs are uncomfortable. The food service is slow and... More

Arrive at Glee for 7.30, doors close at 8.00, show starts at 8.30. The seating is not the most comfortable but really didn't notice once the entertainment had started. Although the drinks aren't cheap (£18 for a 4 pint pitcher of lager) the service is prompt, even when the place is packed. The queues for the WCs move fast and... More

Maybe I was being naive, but when the booking instructions inform you that last admissions are at 7.30 and the show begins at 8.30, well, I believed them. In hindsight I can tell you that people were still streaming in at 8.30. By that time we'd been sitting on our very uncomfortable seats for over an hour, drinking poor lager... More
