Cardiff · Tiki bar & rum room
A tropical hideaway,
tucked away in the city.
Push the door, leave Cardiff behind. Low light, slow rum, and cocktails served under the leaves. Kapu is the kind of night out you talk about for weeks.
Best tables go early — a quick call is the surest way in.
The bar
A grown-up take on the tiki bar.
Tiki has always been about escape. At Kapu we keep the ceremony and lose the clutter: candlelight over neon, real rum over gimmicks, and a room designed to make an hour feel like a small holiday.
Settle into a corner with friends, perch at the bar and watch the bartenders work, or take over the whole room for the night. However you arrive, you leave a little further from home.
- Bartenders who actually know their rum
- Warm, low-lit, unhurried
- Right in the centre of Cardiff
Drinks
Rum-led. Fresh.
Built to be sipped slowly.
The list changes with the seasons and the bar's mood, but the compass always points the same way: proper spirits, fresh juice, and serves that reward a second round.
Rum, explored
A shelf that takes rum seriously, from soft and grassy to deep and smoky. Flights available for the curious and the committed.
Fresh & low / no
Bright, fruit-forward and every bit as considered — nobody sits with a sad glass at Kapu, drinking or not.
Tables around the bar fill fast at weekends.
