About this place Eclipse Bar

Eclipse Bar is listed as an LGBTQ+ bar at 39 Charles Street in central Cardiff. Charles Street, along with nearby Churchill Way, has been home to several of the city's gay venues over the years, close to Queen Street and the city centre shops. Our data has no hours, phone or website, and only a small number of Google reviews, so its current status and format (bar, club nights, or both) aren't confirmed. Check recent reviews or social media before planning a night around it. The Golden Cross and other Cardiff gay bars are within walking distance if plans change.

Good local gay bar.. Stools are too short for the tables which is annoying. Staff are great. Higher stools or lower tables and it would be five stars! ;)
