Kon Tiki

You'll find Kon Tiki tucked into the Strand, that stretch of waterfront that's quietly become the city's best evening walk. This is where you go when you want something different: proper tiki cocktails made with actual care, not the Instagram-bait stuff. The space has that retro-tropical warmth that makes you forget you're in South Wales for a moment, all bamboo, warm lighting, and the kind of drinks list that rewards curiosity. It's buzzy without being loud, which means you can actually have a conversation while nursing something with rum and a name you can't pronounce.
