Rift Bar

Id Give this place a solid 4.5 out of 5. Has been on my list of places to go for a while, so I took the opportunity to organise a bro date here. Atmosphere was awesome. Went on a Friday night and to fill up such a big space outside of the centre was quite impressive, but at no point felt like I was rubbing shoulders with strangers. Bit of a pale Ale snob myself and they indeed offered me with a Great choice of Local pale ales and beers. When I say that, I mean ACTUALLY FROM CARDIFF 🤯. Staff were chatty, and knew their stuff about the products they sold. 5/5 as far as the bar goes. Also ate here, having the 2 meats, 2 sides option at the texas bbq joint here. Slightly pricey, but I was willing to splash for a good BBQ feast. It looked great and the pickles were pretty awesome, but I could only give this a 4/5 I'm afraid. Bbq sauce was a bit sickly sweet, and this is personal preference obviously, but the crinkly fries just reminded me of McCains microwave chips (but were cooked to perfection). It was good, but I can't help feeling like it fell into the realm of average. Still worth the money though. Overall worth a visit, expecially for drinks. I feel like most people would give this a 5 across the board, I'm just pedantic. I'll definitely be visiting again though, that says enough.
