A brand new late night venue is to open on Friday 4th December in the form of Mary’s, a premium gay and late night bar.

Whether you’re just calling in on a break, or taking an hour or two out from a busy shopping trip, Mary’s, on St Mary Street in Cardiff, will open from 4pm Monday to Friday and from midday at weekends.

With a massive quarter of a million pounds investment, the former Reflex venue has been transformed into a luxury bar with sumptuous seating, cutting edge design and a chilled atmosphere allows you to just sit back, relax and watch the world go by.

From classic cocktails to gin in a jar, drinks offers throughout the week include the popular 50% off all drinks 4pm-8pm every day and 2-for-1 cocktails every Tuesday after 9pm. Mary’s will particularly specialise in its gin offering, with over 10 premium gins including Welsh favourite Brecon Special Reserve on offer. There will also be a series of “Meet the Maker” nights featuring various gin makers to host tastings. Plus, there will be entertainment every night until late, with the best cabaret acts and DJs brought to Cardiff.

Alan Armstrong, Head of Marketing for Venues at Stonegate Pub Company, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching this premium venue to the people of Cardiff. We hope to bring a sense of luxury to the city with the opening of Mary’s, with a luxe interior and high quality drinks offering and look forward to opening the doors to the public this Thursday.”

Mary’s will be opening its doors at a VIP preview party at 7pm on Thursday 3rd December, with free cocktails on arrival and featuring the cabaret of La Voix, before opening its doors to the general public at 10pm. On Friday at 8pm, the famous Alaska Thunderf*ck from RuPaul Drag Race will be performing, before opening doors to the public around 10pm.
