If you've come to Cardiff with a denim vest in your bag and you have a few screw-in punk spikes coming in the post, Womanby Street is for you. Having survived COVID-19 and several recessions, the music scene located in Womanby Street is made of steel and will probably survive a nuclear blast at this rate. Stand at the top of Womanby Street and hear only the monstrous anger of the guitars wailing.
Down the fantastic street, you have five venues meant for music and a Wetherspoons for a pre-gig pre-mosh carb-load. The locations are Tiny Rebel, Wales's largest brewery which also hosts pretty good gigs in their upstairs area; The Moon, which is known for hardcore, garage rock, and 3 Red Stripe cans for £10; Bootlegger, a jazz bar with a good selection of cocktails; Fuel, the only dedicated rock bar in Cardiff which in 2023 hosted 307 events; and Clwb Ifor Bach, the popular elder sibling of the street.
There will be something for everyone down that street and, almost every day of the week, there is another band loading into one of the venues that will match whatever tastes you have. Black metal, club music, house music, grungy indie rock? Womanby Street will have it for you.
