Bonnie Rogues takes over from Proud Mary in Cardiff and Swansea

Proud Mary has been driven out of Cardiff and Swansea overnight by Bonnie Rogues Pub [Monday 21 October].  The rebranded bars promise all the fun, sport and music of its predecessor but with a fresh twist.

Highlights of Bonnie Rogues on St Mary’s Street [Cardiff] include:

• A new Thursday Supper Club from 6-7.30pm.  Guests can enjoy a special bottomless style brunch for the after-work crowd, with bottomless drinks, and the option to upgrade to cocktails. The Supper Club will be unveiled at the official Bonnie Rogues Cardiff launch on Thursday 24 October from 6pm, on a first come first served basis.  The party includes a glass of prosecco on arrival, free tasters of the new Rogues Platter and live music from 7pm.
• Monday Music Bingo, with more interactive ‘rogue’ elements; Wednesdays will be the start of five consecutive days of live music, featuring local acts; Thursdays is Supper Club; Friday After Work Perks with happy hour running from 3-8pm and Super Sundays will serve up new and improved traditional roasts, featuring bottomless roast potatoes and gravy with all-day live sporting action.
• Themed ticketed events are also planned to include a Drag Brunch Halloween Special on Saturday 2 November, hosted by the infamous and much-loved Cardiff drag queen, Miss Kitty, with 90 minutes of bottomless cocktails, beer, cider, wine and prosecco.  And on Thursday 21 November, there will be a Beaujolais Day party with an unlimited buffet, welcome drinks and two drinks vouchers with live music.

Bonnie Rogues Cardiff venue manager, Ben Browne, said: “We are thrilled to be ‘standing and delivering’ Bonnie Rogues in Cardiff.  We are keeping what was best about Proud Mary but adding fresh new elements that will surprise and delight our guests, including five nights of live music, a fantastic new food and cocktail menu, plus the launch of our new Supper Club, Music Bingo and an improved Happy Hour.”
