The Philharmonic is a large bar and dining venue at 76–77 St Mary Street in central Cardiff. Spread over three floors, it moves from breakfast and lunch into drinks, live sport and late night entertainment. Booths, private areas, a rooftop terrace and the lower Club 360 give different parts of the building their own pace and atmosphere.
Food covers the full day, beginning with Welsh breakfasts, pancakes and avocado on sourdough. Burgers, fried chicken, pizza and loaded bar food form the heart of the later menu, with combinations such as a brisket topped burger and pizza finished with chicken and chorizo. The broad selection is designed for casual groups rather than a formal sequence of courses.
Bottomless brunch is a major part of the offering and pairs a selected dish with timed drinks service. Plant based breakfasts, burgers and other vegan adaptations give meat free diners meaningful options. Anyone with allergies should speak with staff before ordering because the venue follows allergen procedures but cannot guarantee that dishes are free from traces in a shared kitchen.
Cocktails, wine, draught beer, bottled drinks and a large gin selection keep the bar central to the experience. Diners can stay in the main bar, move to the rooftop or continue into the club later in the evening. The Philharmonic is best suited to social meals and celebrations where food, drinks and entertainment are all part of the same visit.
