Yates Cardiff is a high-energy, high-potential pub located right in the heart of Greyfriars Road—directly opposite the Park Plaza Hotel and just a short stroll from the New Theatre. This is one of the busiest and most vibrant areas in the city, making it the perfect location for a savvy operator to tap into Cardiff’s thriving daytime, after-work, and late-night crowd.
The venue is made for sport and sociability, boasting three large projector screens and eight TVs, making it the go-to spot for catching all the key sporting fixtures. From football and rugby to boxing and Formula 1, you’ll have every opportunity to draw a loyal sports crowd, especially during big match days.
Weekends are where this pub really comes to life, with live DJs playing every Friday and Saturday night from 8 pm through until 2 am. These popular late-night sessions already attract a great crowd, but there’s still room for an operator to push the Yates brand further—think student nights, theme parties, or midweek events that keep the tills ringing.
This is a true flagship-style site with the benefit of the Yates name and support, but it needs a confident, events-focused leader to fully bring it to life. It’s not just about pouring pints—it’s about delivering energy, fun, and unforgettable nights that make this city-centre venue a staple on Cardiff’s social calendar.
Due to its prime city-centre location, there is no on-site accommodation at Yates Cardiff. However, The Pub Company recognises the importance of supporting the operators, so they offer enhanced accommodation support payments, which will be tailored to your needs and discussed in detail at the interview stage.
