The Foundry and Owain Glyndwyr’s, two local treasures, are back and better than ever!

After a three week closure, the Owain is open again and raring to go. Open seven days a week from 11am–12am, later on Fridays and Saturdays, the Owain Glyndwr is in the centre of Cardiff—opposite the castle, making it perfect for a night out on the town. The Foundry, on the other hand, is toeing the line between central and Cathays, staking its claim as a perfect stop-over pub.

The three weeks of closure for Owain Glyndwr’s was a busy one, with a wide range of inside refurbishments and painting being done inside. Not only this, a new mural has been painted on the outside of the pub for all to admire so make sure you check it out! For all the sports fans, the Owain Glyndwr is continuing its persona as a sports pub, with large TV screens placed all over playing football, rugby, tennis, and even the NFL. The upstairs has been decked out as well, with two brand new dart boards and scoring systems, alongside the well-known pool table.

“Brand new student offers accompany this…”

£5.80 for a pint of inches cider, and the Mixr app is in full usage with discounts on drinks and the opportunity to collect points! Still offering a range of food menus, the Owain is a perfect place to hit up in the daytime as well.

The Foundry has followed suit; the introduction of the Nyx app offers a rotating set of discounts throughout the week, and standing offers like their Wing Wednesday, which start at 40p per wing—the cheapest around! The refurb has treated the pub well, rustic decor keeping the cosy atmosphere that Gassy’s was known for, with the new scenery adding a little bit of polish. Screens on the top floor show a variety of sports, and live music is still at work in keeping the friendly vibe that was previously in these walls.

The reopening of the Owain and Foundry mark the beginning of, hopefully, a new set of student staples. Both have perfect atmosphere and locations, leaving them an
ideal place for a pint and a catch up before a night out on the town. Building their character and making it as accommodating for students as possible, these locations are perfect for celebrating a deadline, or simply for unwinding after lectures.
