A former staple in the Cardiff nightlife scene is Buffalo Bar and after being closed for three years the well-loved bar has returned. Under new ownership, Buffalo Bar has been transformed into a bar and Japanese-style restaurant.
The new Buffalo Bar will not be a replica of the much-loved venue, but one which pays homage to it, and instead of the venue being spread over the building's two floors, the top will solely be used as a bar and music venue, while the bottom has been turned into a swanky new Japanese restaurant, Koi. Buffalo Bar is now owned by Alexander Taylor who is also on the team for Cardiff bar Pennyroyal.
Buffalo Bar opened on Monday, September 19, and has many nods to the old bar. The famous "What the f**k" sign remains, but in a slightly different format reading "What the funk".
