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.

Cool indoor street food venue featuring some interesting and changing vendors. Happy Hour daily 5-7pm. Ordering is done through the dreaded QR system (time consuming, anti-social & annoying). Music is way too loud cant hear each other speak, please consider turning this down its a food hall not a night club. Food and service is great though! Lots of veggie options -had the Spicy Cauliflower Sando from Fowl & Fury👌🏻🔥🥵

Lovely space for different street food vendors. The venue itself is huge, very comfortable and dog friendly. Nice selection of drinks at the bar and the staff have always been polite and friendly. Food vendors there can be hit and miss, but good place to support indie businesses.

Awesome venue! Great atmosphere, wicked music!! Love the different foodie venues in one place. Tried Bao Selecta but will be back to sample more. Love this place! These kinds of venues should be all over the place.

This place is dear to my heart. I have been here since it opened up back in October and it is by far my favourite place in Cardiff. The street food vendors are amazing and all the food is just GREAT! The drinks menu is also amazing, and the staff is the BEST! Great vibe, great food, great company, what else can you ask for?

An interesting bar offering a good range of drinks in a very informal environment. The food choice is great too with a choice from three little kitchens - Mexican, burgers or various pulled meats.

Quiet when we went on a Tuesday. HOWEVER, great deals for a drink, enjoyed a bottle of prosecco for £15 AND the peach beer is absolutely delicious. Food also amazing.

I've been to sticky fingers a fair few times now since I moved to Roath. It's always got a good vibe going on and is a brilliant place to meet for a pint and some food - particularly in larger groups due to the variety of food on offer.

Cosy atmosphere and all the staff are great, they take time to be social and very punctual with making sure the place is well kept(clean tables and glasses). Plenty to do with the inclusion of a pool table, ping pong table and new addition of the arcade machine. (sounds like an ad but it's just genuinely a good place) Also happy hour is a bargain if you order Carling and it's a very generous "hour".

Varied food options and friendly service! Taco meat was a bit dry but probably just ordered the wrong thing. Would go again :)

Glad to see this place open again. Good bar selection and 5pm-7pm happy hour was good. Birthday cocktails and food. We chose food from 3 different kitchens. You have to order separately on the app but was easy enough. Nice friendly staff and dog friendly.

In Cardiff town, where flavours swirl with glee, Sticky Fingers Street Food, a sight to see. Eccentric and bold, it leaves an impression, A culinary journey, a unique expression. Step inside, and your gaze takes flight, To bar staff's shoes, vibrant and bright. Reminiscent of Del Potro, the tennis pro, With youthful spirit, they steal the show. Value for money, a standout delight, The menu's offerings, a pure gastronomic height. Tantalizing tacos and noodles galore, Wallet-friendly prices, you'll crave for more. Restroom adventure, a quirky twist, Vibrating finger rings, not to be missed. Curious finds that may raise an eyebrow or two, In this eclectic world, where surprises accrue. Now, the quiz night, both puzzling and fun, The quiz master's nicknames, one by one. "Chicken nugget" and "goofy goober," they say, A humorous touch that might sway. But some miss the past, a charismatic grace, Joelle, the host, with a welcoming embrace. His absence felt by those who once knew, The nostalgia and warmth he once did imbue. In conclusion, Sticky Fingers is where it all blends, Great food, odd discoveries, and quizzes that amends. With hope in our hearts for Joelle's return someday, To bring back the comfort in his own unique way.

Really nice venue, good selection of food. Drinks prices are reasonable. Shame you can only play table tennis mid week.

Great choice of street food. We ordered bao bans, tacos and Korean chicken bowl. All of them tasty, freshly made and hot. On the small size for the price, more for a nibble rather than dinner. Staff were polite and smiling.
