Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- olankennyCardiff, UK4 contributionsWe had a great time in Lab. The staff here are so knowledgeable.
My friend had an amaretto sour which he described as "delicious and all too drinkable", I had a very nice Irish whiskey.
The pricing wasn't obscene and the quality of drinks was beautifulWritten 17 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Be brave and try a cocktail that may not be your normal choice of spirit.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MattwalesNorthWalesChengdu, China2,424 contributionsThis pub has for many years been the focus of the Cardiff Gay scene. Wednesday night was quiz night and we managed to win a couple of quid. Wednesdays during a chilly July are not the busiest so we opted to move on afterwards.

- Ana G2 contributionsThis venue is perfect for a family day out. Came here for a few cocktails and there was plenty of activities for the whole family. The boys watched the Arsenal game at the bar while the ladies had some cocktails and kids played some bowling. Will definitely be back more often. Also Alfie made this experience even better by taking our orders at the table and brought them over in just 5 minutes xWritten 27 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Captain1 contributionThe Bootlegger is a hidden gem of a cocktail bar that truly stands out for its cozy, intimate atmosphere and upstanding service. The young bartender who served us was an absolute expert, showing real care and interest in the craft. Their knowledge of both classic cocktails and innovative concoctions ensures there’s something for every palate. The range of drinks is impressive, from timeless favorites to unique, house-made specials that you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking to enjoy a relaxed evening, The Bootlegger offers a warm, welcoming vibe that makes it a must-visit.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
