We programme everything. Live music, Theatre, Comedy. You name it, we've probably got it somewhere at Porter's. And if we don't have it, we want it; Porter's is about YOU. Dan Porter used to be an actor, but then he opened this bar, and if you drop in he'll welcome you with open arms. We have a stage in the main bar where our Bands/Comedians/Performers do their thing. It also serves as a place for

Dan to make a spectacle of himself late on a Saturday night, but that really has to be seen to be believed. We serve Lagers, Bottled Ales, World Beers, Spirits, Wines, Soft Drinks, Waterloo Teas, Coffees, Pizza, Dan's Nan's Famous Coleslaw and other tasty treats - it isn't just our stage that has variety! So, come on down; Whether it's a Thursday afternoon chill our or a Saturday evening knees up, we can't wait to see you at Porter's. Check out our events pages for the latest listings. GOOD TIMES.

An evening celebrating disabled and neurodivergent talent, told through musical theatre — yeah this is exactly our kind of night.

With two sold-out shows wrapped up in London, Breaking Barrier is heading to our theatre this September. With conversations about inclusion and representation more important than ever, this show hands the mic to performers and challenges the barriers that continue to exist in the industry.

Breaking Barriers has bagged an incredible lineup of performers bringing their creativity, individuality and talent to the stage.

Come be part of this incredible celebration - grab your tickets at porterscardiff.org/theatre

It’s been a whiiiillllle since we’ve done one of these — so we figured, why not bring it back?

Come battle it out on the track on the big screen while vibing to jazz covers of the video game songs that basically raised us.

Entry is completely free, but it’s first come, first served — get there early for the best shot at a spot before we hit cap!
