About this place Mary's

Mary's is a gay cabaret and cocktail bar on St Mary Street in central Cardiff, close to the castle and Cardiff's other gay bars around Churchill Way. Drag is the main draw: resident hosts plus touring names, some from RuPaul's Drag Race and the UK talent-show circuit, alongside a cocktail list. We have no hours on file. Big-name shows are ticketed and sell out, so check the website before you go. Cardiff gets busy on rugby weekends and on Friday and Saturday nights in general.

Can't believe had to pay to go in bar

It really baffles me why you have a stamp service if 1 bouncer is saying you can walk straight back in and one is saying you need to que, either the rules are not followed or they are not simple to follow either way just make it clear to both staff and customers

Good fun, friendly staff, but can't remember being charged to enter a place where there wasn't live music for years. Maybe a Cardiff thing (?)

Bouncer was exceptionally snooty and kind of mean about their dress code. And what kind of LGBTQ+ space has a dress code!? Hardly the spirit of open and affirming to all.
