REKOM’s regional director Graeme Da Silva, said: “We are delighted to continue investing in Cardiff, which is such a vibrant and exciting city. Heidi’s has exceeded all expectations and PRYZM continues to be one of our most successful clubs, so we are confident Proud Mary Pub will prove to be a similar hit.”
Similar to Heidi's, REKOM said the bar will be a relaxed, party pub with the festive atmosphere of a German bier hall.
Opening at 12 noon every day (and closing 2am Sunday to Thursday and 3am Friday and Saturday), the venue will serve a range of drinks and beer, including two draught ales from Cardiff brewery Tiny Rebel.
There will also be traditional bar snacks and a range of pizza and burgers on offer.
