The Waiting Room is a brand new, purpose built bar and café located at The Tramshed – a beautiful Grade II listed building in the heart of Cardiff.

It’s a fantastic meeting place to grab a coffee at any time of the day, and also perfect for pre drinks before a gig at The Tramshed. Not only does this place have a great selection of drinks on offer, such as Brooklyn Lager and Tuborg on tap, it also has a fine selection of freshly prepared food, with a menu inspired by an American burger joint, but given a classic Welsh twist.

The menu offers a great range of homemade burgers, expertly crafted by head chef Matt Busittil – Voice’s Chef of the Month, and also a wide variety of tantalising food to eat with your hands including a tempting choice of hot dogs
and wholesome sandwiches.

Also on the menu is mac and cheese and meat-free burgers, as well as a whole host of sides and salads to complete your meals. There’s a great choice of burgers to choose from, all with their own unique name which has been inspired by its fillings.

A popular option from the menu is its burger sharing towers, where two or four people get the chance to sample more than one of the different burgers on sandwiches on offer – just imagine afternoon tea, but loads more fun.

If you have any room left, there’s a choice of homemade desserts and Purbeck Ice Cream, priced from £2 each.


Main meals and snacks are served daily from noon until 9.30pm, seven days a week. The Waiting Room additionally offers a breakfast menu too, served from 8am until 11.30am, where you can get a hearty full English breakfast for £6.50. There’s also vegetarian and vegan options available too.

You don’t have to enjoy the food in the Waiting Room’s comfortable surroundings, as it offers a take-away and delivery service to the local area, call for more details and to place your order.

Every Thursday you can enjoy 2-4-1 on its hand crafted and house made selection of bottled and bubbled cocktails, which have been created by The Waiting Room’s very own mixologist Benjamin Newby. They are the first venue in the UK to have the FizzlQ cocktail system – definitely worth a try!

So, if you’re looking for somewhere new to try in the Capital this autumn, make sure you pay The Waiting Room a visit, which can be found on Clare Road, Cardiff CF11 6QP.
