I've fond memories of Salt Bar and its dimly-lit ground floor upon which I danced to my heart's content but walking into Salt's successor, The Club House, for a meal to lift my post bank-holiday blues, it was another world - in the best way possible.
Stepping through its white washed doors in Cardiff Bay's Mermaid Quay, there's an air of 'Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Cardiff anymore' - more so a tavern on the coastline of some seaside resort, although the only thing missing is the sand on your toes.
The area is light, bright and decorated generously with rope-adorned light fixtures, seafaring tools on the walls and in cabinets, murals of aquatic beings and wooden furniture that screams holiday vibes.
