About Clwb Ifor Bach

Clwb Ifor Bach, a cornerstone of Cardiff’s live music scene, is a three-floor venue known for intimate sets and marquee nights. Located at 11 Womanby Street in the heart of the city, this venue has hosted notable acts early in their careers and remains a hub for emerging artists as the area undergoes redevelopment. The main room holds around 250 guests, with total capacity historically rising to 380+ across all floors. As plans progress to expand capacity to up to 1,000 across the floors, Clwb Ifor Bach continues to offer a raw, up-close concert experience while preserving its distinctive character.

Here’s what you need to know when planning your visit: seating is primarily standing with some seating options, no publicly published seating chart, and the venue remains a favorite for fans who want to catch rising stars in a tight, energetic setting. Secure your seats and stay informed with us for the latest shows and redevelopments.

Location and access: The venue sits near Castle Street in central Cardiff. Cardiff Central Station is roughly 0.4 miles away, with multiple bus routes nearby. There is a taxi drop-off point on Castle Street for a quick arrival or departure after a show.

Parking and accessibility: Clwb Ifor Bach does not have on-site accessible parking. The closest accessible car park is the NCP on Quay Street, approximately 120 metres away, making it convenient for quick trips before or after performances. If you’re driving, plan for a short walk from the car park to the venue’s entrance.

Nearby hotels and dining: For stays before or after events, convenient hotel options include Travelodge Cardiff Central Queen Street, Travelodge Cardiff Central, and Premier Inn Cardiff City Centre. We partner with trusted hotels and nearby restaurants to help you secure comfortable accommodations and great pre- or post-show dining. Explore hotel options and dining partners to complete your visit with ease.

Travel tips: If you’re heading to a show, arriving early can help you find a good spot in the main room. We’ll keep you posted on any redevelopment updates as the adjacent building is being demolished as part of a larger project, while the venue itself maintains its brand as Clwb Ifor Bach (renamed branding updated in 2020).
