Ludo
★ 4.6 · 216 reviews Cardiff Opened 2025
A games-led bar built to hold your whole night
Skip the food menu. Ludo runs on games and live entertainment instead, the kind of setup meant to keep a group planted for hours rather than one drink and out. It landed on St Mary Street, Cardiff's main nightlife strip and the street with more bars per metre than anywhere else in Wales.
Games bars have spread fast across British cities lately, and opening one on a street this packed is a bet on itself. Ludo has to be the destination, not just a stop between other bars.

Was in Cardiff while the F1 Sprint race was on, and Ludo's came highly recommended. And for good reason. Came in early, got a great spot, and the channel was immediately set up for viewing. Staff were also very attentive and friendly. Ordered a drink and a snack of padron peppers (so tasty!) to the table using the QR code. Everything came out quickly, especially considering how busy it is today with multiple events on! Loads of F1 fans were around and gave an excellent viewing experience. Commentary was easy to hear as well. Will definitely come back for more sports viewing in the future.

Went to Ludo for the Champions League final. The customer service from the staff was fantastic, especially considering if was such a busy day for them. We also had food during our visit which was super tasty. The halloumi burger is incredible! This wasn't my first time coming to Ludo and it won't be my last but was so impressed with this visit that I wanted to compliment the team for going above and beyond. Looking forward to going back over and over again. Thank you!

Visited yesterday to watch the women's football, John the manager was so lovely, kind, and accommodating and looked after us so well. John managed to seat us in front of a massive screen even though mens football was on at a similar time!! John was super friendly and chatting with us about the football, nothing was too much trouble and he really made our day!! This was our first time in cardiff and John really made us feel welcome! A real credit to your company!!
