Old Brewery Quarter

A former Brains brewery site has become a small dining and nightlife quarter around an open-air piazza. Visit for a chosen venue and the industrial setting.

Why go

The quarter puts Cardiff’s brewing past into an everyday setting rather than a museum display. Victorian brickwork survives among the converted buildings, while the piazza gives the area a different feel from neighbouring streets. It works best as a deliberate meal or evening stop.

What to look for

  • Victorian brickwork survives from the original Brains brewery home, established in 1882.
  • An open-air piazza sits among the converted brewery buildings.

Useful to know

  • Choose a venue and check its own opening and booking arrangements before heading into the quarter.
  • Combine a meal here with Caroline Street or St Mary Street rather than planning a separate sightseeing excursion.
