WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT US

"another fine night at my favourite live venue in the capital" - South Wales Echo

‘What Cardiff needs is more places like this; independents set up by a group of friends with a combined/agreed sense of what they want: where they’d like to go; the kind of music they like to hear; the food they’d wanna eat and most obvious of all, the style they like! Here this is set off by a collection of furniture and artefacts collected over the years; and one-of-a-kind floor and wall decorations commissioned from friends' - Buzz Magazine

‘A breeding ground for new local bands and a real mix of alternative music’ - South Wales Echo

‘Buffalo provides some of the hottest turntablists Wales has to offer' - Out Of Hand Magazine

‘The Buffalo Bar is resolutely independent and aimed at the thinking drinker; it’s like happening across a rare LCD Soundsystem CD among a rack of Coldplay discs' - The Guide/The Guardian
