An admission: before I was invited to try the food at City of Bristol College’s restaurant, I didn’t know there was one.

One of the latest bars to do that is Kongs, an 18+ only bar that features among others Pac-man and Streetfighter II arcade games. It’s essentially what you’d stereotypically call a man cave and a cave it… Read More Kongs Cardiff
