I live just locally across the street and I’ve been waiting for this to open for nine months. I don’t usually write reviews but this is amazing. The food is really nice. The staff is friendly. It’s really unique. They’ve got security everywhere so it’s well safe and it’s right by the river. I can’t think of a place like it in Cardiff. I had a wood stove fired pizza and a lovely iced latte with a hint of Baileys in it. It really hit the spot and the decor inside is just brilliant and unique.

They really have thought of everything - It felt like home from home!!! The views are spectacular and literally a 5 minute walk in to the centre.. The bar was decorated to an incredibly high standard and the bar staff were friendly and poured a perfect pint!!! We will definitely be back - Thank you.

Headed to ‘On The River’ before Oasis on Friday 4th July! An amazing spot with a cracking atmosphere! Can’t wait to pop along again and I know it will be bouncing before an international! 10/10 Andystrat2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing two-night stay at On the River! The location is perfect, just a ten minute walk to the city centre. The place was modern, spotless, and super comfortable we couldn’t fault a thing. The bar downstairs was a great bonus, with a relaxed vibe and some of the coldest, most refreshing beer I’ve ever had. Highly recommend
