Mary's Cardiff

liked this bar the drinks were expensive 2 pints and a coke nearly £18. we just nought a round then the drag artist who was good made us get up and dance, first dance id had in years enjoyed that. But when we went back to our table the bars staff had swiped all our drinks that we only had a sip out of so we complained to a glass collector who just said well it wasnt me. so we had to spend another £18 on another round. That was expensive and out of order. The glass collectors should know we.were all sort of forced to get up and dance and not to clear full drinks. nobody would leave a table of full glasses unless asked to go to dance.

Made my first visit to Marys this weekend to see the Dragon pop show and it was fantastic and cant wait to come back. Already looking at hotels to come back for my birthday. Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. It was our first visit and was nervous but there was no need to be. Thank you for making such a safe space for all. Cant wait to visit again soon.

I didn't want to leave a bad review but as our complaint emails are being ignored I'd like to make others aware of how we were treated. Just for clarity this email was sent to Mary's at 7.05pm 17.01.2026 showing we were perfectly sober. The table was booked & we had paid for the table to be decorated. I’m writing to raise a formal complaint related to an incident that occurred at 19:00 at Mary’s, 17th January 2026. My family and I were refused entry to your venue by Security, who I gather judged a member of my party to be inebriated owing to her falling over in the road prior to approaching the doorway. I would like to clarify that this was owing to a twisted ankle, rather than the false accusation levied. Never mind the fact she has just finished chemotherapy. Furthermore, that your Security team judged my mother’s behaviour to be unsuitable as such to allow entry. I must make you aware that my mother has been diagnosed with ADHD, recognised as a disability under the Disability Act 2010, and so your Security team has acted unlawfully by prohibiting entry based on subjective opinion (breaching Section 15 by treating our party unfavourably, as well as Section 20 by failing to make reasonable adjustments). As your venue has caused significant upset and disappointment on the evening of a special family gathering, I request the following: A) A full refund made against the booking B) Details of compensation to be provided; C) Your assurance that your Security team will be appropriately trained to ensure a repeat of this circumstance does not occur. I await your prompt response

The best LGBTQ+ Cabaret bar in Cardiff, amazing friendly atmosphere, fairly priced for drinks and exceptional performances from live drag queens. I was served by Benji all I can say is, CAMP! What a brilliant night at Mary’s

We came in for a drink on a Thursday night and had a brilliant time. The music and atmosphere were great and the team behind the bar were fantastic, very friendly and helpful and a credit to the business.
