A new independent wine bar is opening in one of Cardiff's iconic Victorian arcades. Nighthawks Wine Bar officially opens on Friday, September 2, on the corner of Castle Arcade and says it will be serving up some of "the best wines, charcuterie, grilled cheeses and cocktails" in the city.
The bar, a new addition to Cardiff's growing wine scene - which you can explore with the Cardiff Wine Passport - is being opened by the team behind speakeasy cocktail bar, The Dead Canary, and taco bar, La Pantera - David Adams and Rob Clark. The self-confessed ‘wine obsessives’, it seems, are on a mission to bring great wines to the widest possible audience - starting off with the people of Cardiff.
Overlooking one of the city's most famous monuments, Cardiff Castle, Nighthawks will offer a list of ten to twelve wines that have been carefully handpicked and come from all over the world, including champagne - all served by the glass. The friendly and contemporary wine bar will have a frequently changing list as well as offering cocktails made with sparkling wines, local craft beers and a small plates menu designed for pairing with the wines.
