Mocka Lounge — Restaurant in Wales

Please be careful if you're visiting this bar. The bouncers are extremely depraved, especially the short chunky one called Maz, he's had numerous complaints made about him however the management continue to allow this predator to be around vulnerable drunk people. Maz has made numerous inappropriate advances towards women and will regularly burst into the women's toilet pretending to do checks, but will then hover around in the toilets to try approach women. If you don't know him personally (thank god) he will rarely grant entry unless you're a lone female. If you're in couples or groups he will either try to split some of you up or will allow you access and then remove members of your party to try and get the males away from the women. I've caught him making inappropriate advances towards the bar staff, which explains why they always have new people working, but the manager will not condemn his actions because he has been a bouncer at this venue a while. Some of the other bouncers also like to make derogatory remarks and make you feel uncomfortable but not on the same level as Maz. The venue itself has decently priced drinks but its not worth putting your safety at risk. They also make the entry fee up as they go, sometimes its £10, sometimes £20 if they don't want you coming in to try and throw you off. If you're female and alone you can get free entry unless you're sober. Go to a more regulated/respected...

I visited here on the weekend and I've got to say I've never felt more uncomfortable in my life. I arrived with a group of friends (2 other women and 2 men). At first the security guard on the door (Matt or Mazz is his name) tried letting us women in but tried charging the men £20 each even though he just charged us £10. After a bit of back and forth he reluctantly let the men in with us. However about 10 mins later he kept brushing past us as we stood at the bar, we found it very odd. One of the women in our group went to use the bathroom (which was disgusting and tiny) and this Mazz/Matt security guard caught her on the way back down and kept making advances towards her during their conversation. She said she wasnt interested and sat with us back at the table to tell us what had happened, we all decided then and there to leave and not return. Please be careful if you're visiting here as a woman as this security guard (if you can call him that) is very creepy and unsettling. He's about 5ft 5" (6" at a push), has panda eyes (dark circles), a bit chubby, has scruffy stubble and wears a beanie sometimes. You'll know him as soon as you see him he gives off a weird vibe before he even speaks. please...

A bar with a reputation for fine quality cocktails and an almost balaeric atmosphere. We sat outside bathed in a soft neon glow, candle flickering in front of us on huge sofas and after asking for reccomendations, ordered a couple of their signature drinks, the Berry Mocka and Cherry Mocka. Nothing to do with the chocolate coffee mixup, these two drinks were a wonderful pair of creations, melding fresh fruit juice with raspberry vodka, amaretto and cherry brandy in the case of the Cherry Mocka.

The Berry Mocka was based around gin, apple schnapps and lemon juice to give it a slightly sharper, refreshing tang that I preferred, however both were delicious and as the Cardiff night closed in a little we headed inside. The interior decor was fabulous, a blend of futuristic surfaces, gentle illumination and bizarre fishtanks all marked out by their refinement. We got a couple of free and very tasty Brownies brought over (a huge plus) and finished off before calling it a night there. Mocka holds up as one of my favourite places in Cardiff, it's an independent in a street of great bars and thus has to fight it's corner against more established brands and thus it's the fantastic quality that keeps it...
