Lab 22

Hidden above the bustle of Cardiff's "Chip Alley," this cocktail haven is a modern marvel where creativity and inclusivity mix seamlessly. Think of it as your secret speakeasy, accessed through a discreet door next to a bakery. The ambiance is a perfect blend of intimate and vibrant, morphing from laid-back jazz tunes on Mondays to lively DJ sets come the weekend. This bar is not just about innovative drinks; it's a celebration of Welsh culture and ingredients, all under the guidance of the visionary Max Hayward.

The cocktail menu here is a masterpiece, earning accolades like the Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu Award. It's all about "nice drinks for nice people," inviting everyone to enjoy exceptional concoctions without pretension. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a curious novice, the masterclasses offer a unique chance to dive into the art of mixology.
