Kanaloa - Cardiff

Cardiff, United Kingdom

Kanaloa was a UK-based chain of tiki bars, this Cardiff location opened in August 2012. It was designed by the CheekyTiki design firm. Kanaloa was one of several clubs in one complex, and was more of a young nightclub than a lounge bar. The Kanaloa space had a bridge entrance, leading to a room with a bamboo-lined bar and short rattan stools. The walls were lined with bac-bac matting. The menu of tropical drinks featured large shared shared drinks, and there was a small menu of bar food available.

This Cardiff Kanaloa location opened in August 2012 in the Tiger Tiger space and then closed and apparently converted back to Tiger Tiger around 2015? and then later converted to Shoreditch in March 2020.

In addition to the original Kanaloa location in London (closed), there were locations in Newcastle (closed), Portsmouth (closed), Leeds (closed), Glasgow (closed), and Croydon (closed).
