Just what Cardiff needs, another 'members club' that is doomed to failure before the first complimentary cocktail has even been sipped...this is what I thought before I attending the Lab 22 launch. An intimate club/bar/kitchen fused with sleek and innovative design, Lab 22 is an exciting new concept that has had everyone talking.
The name represents the concept of the venue; Lab or Learn, Achieve, Believe has set out to completely remaster the traditional and embrace the contemporary.
I was extremely impressed with the cocktails, the launch menu created by in-house mixologists was limited but innovative, we sampled Mrs Einsteins, Nutty Professors and a new look Cosmo with a kick. With these we sampled beautiful smoked salmon and foie gras lollipops with shots of limoncello.

The interior of the building is full of surprises...there are some features that I would love to tell you about but I have been sworn to secrecy! After hearing that there were gold bathrooms I was a little dubious but, continuing in the same manner, they were tasteful, luxurious but understated. The venue is very small but space has been used to it's best advantage throughout the club.
Lab 22 has done what other clubs in Cardiff have tried to do...but they have actually done it right! In conjunction with The Corner House situated opposite, could this be the transformation of the famous 'Chippy Alley'?
