About The Golden Cross Cardiff

The Golden Cross is one of Cardiff’s most established LGBTQ+ pubs and deliberately presents itself as an inclusive community hub rather than just another city-centre bar. It is a good counterpoint to the later, clubbier venues around Churchill Way: daytime opening, regulars, conversation and entertainment all matter here.\n\nDrag and cabaret remain part of the personality, but the venue also works simply for a relaxed pint. For queer visitors who like somewhere with history and a broad age mix, it is one of Cardiff’s most dependable stops.
