Jacobs Roof Garden Cardiff reviews by real event-goers

Review of New Years Eve @ Jacobs - A Jazzy Affair with The Siglo Section

Ticket was really overpriced! It advertised a glass of fizz at midnight, but all bar staff took a break at this time so we didn't have a drink for the countdown. It advertised the siglo section would be playing, which is an 18 piece band- we were expecting funky, lively covers to sing along to and dance! Instead, it was the jazz quartet- and they were fantastic- but not what was advertised, and not what we were hoping for. The atmosphere was almost awkward, it was totally scarce for the first 2 hours, and never even reached half- capacity. There was a faint display of fireworks in the distance you could see in Penarth- but I'd argue that it's not fair to boast that attendees will be able to observe a number of fire works displays. We had fun, but we will not be rushing back next year.

Review of An Afternoon of Jazz?? Live music with Siglo 6

Brilliant musicians in a lovely setting.

Review of Wine Club #2 Sparkles and Disco

The timing for the event was weird. Really early doors but not enough food for a meal. Prob should have been a bit later on and we were expecting more effort for a “disco”. Fortunately we were a big ish group and had fun together irrespective. Nice idea but really needs the weather up there, it was cold and windy. One (female) member of staff is really friendly. The others come across as quite aloof.

Review of An Evening of Jazz?? Live music with Siglo 6

Unfortunately purchased this ticket thinking it was for the evening of jazz which is what the event title said and was told I would have to leave by 6pm. Instead I thought it meant entry had to be by 6pm hence the cheaper ticket. Me and my friend were disappointed! I think it could be made more clear on the ticket stating you have to leave by 6pm and that it is not for the jazz night. It should be advertised as a completely not related to the event!!!

Review of Wine Club #1 - A Greek Party!

This was a great event with good food, wine and music. The roof garden is very tastefully decorated, the sommelier had chosen four really interesting wines to taste, the food selection was really nice and the live music got everyone on their toes dancing the night away until midnight - would definitely go again!

Review of Drinks with a View. BAR OPEN!

Not sure why I had to pay £6 a ticket as no one checked them until we overheard someone asking another customer if they’d had their complimentary drink . Drinks were not the best and quite pricey - snacks were not the best either

Review of Summer Opening Party! - Live DJ

One of the staff members is uncomfortably rude

Review of Summer Opening Party! - Live DJ

Looking forward to another great event, hopefully in the near future. Michael was a super friendly host & a big shout out to Anthony the DJ.

Review of Jacobs Roof Garden

Went for the NYE party expecting it to be fairly classy having paid £42 for tickets but it felt like a kids disco in a village hall, there were some cheap decorations and everything felt a bit thrown together. There was a constant queue for 3 shared toilets and the sink wasn’t working so you couldn’t wash your hands, only hand sanitiser was on offer. Only one patio heater was working so outside was very cold, appreciate the time of year and blankets were on offer. Staff were polite and friendly. Just wasn’t worth the money and wasn’t what we expected.

Review of New Years Eve at Jacobs Roof Garden: Dancing in the moonlight!

After paying £42 a ticket we were expecting more for our money. This was an expensive NYE event compared to other venues. I'd previously advised that a member of our party was a Coeliac and was told there'd be GF options available. When we arrived we were told GF options 'may' be GF. Also the toilets weren't sanitary as the sink wasn't working to wash hands. One of the outdoor fires also wasn't working which meant many of the guests were freezing cold outside. Venue would be nice in the Summer but I wouldn't recommend this NYE event to others given my party' s experience.

Review of The Winter Rooftop Garden - With Live Jazz band.. BAMZU!

It was too cold. Not enough heaters. I think kit would work better in the summer with the bank outside on the terrace

Review of Summer Closing Party

Perfect venue
