The bipolar nature of this Cardiff coastal dive is best understood by contrasting two seemingly similar nights. On a typical Tuesday, especially in the summertime, Kraken allures herds of freshly 21-yr-olds and their secretly under-aged sidekicks. Although increasingly more strict, Kraken Tuesdays used to be known as the lenient North County dive spot for drinks and dancing, thanks to a chill doorman. Come back on Wednesday and you'll find a crowd of beached-out 30-40yr-olds and groups of bikers grooving to live rock bands and playing serious games of pool. Cheap drinks, live music, and a back patio for smoking. Pick your night with care.
