Charleston's Bar and Grill
From Cardiffpedia
Charleston's (like the nearby, and slightly superior, Taurus Steak House) is a meaty magnet for beered-up Cardiffians looking for some dead flesh to munch on, and a late bar to find that elusive one for the road. A little hard to find, this sawdust-on-the-floor joint is tucked away on a second floor building up some steps opposite the side of the Irish pub on Caroline Street. I once got told to shut up for singing too loudly by James Dean Bradfield of the Manics in here, too.
Local legend has it that this is where perma-tanned rugby boy Gavin Henson first took mouthy popster Charlotte Church out on a date. They'd met earlier on in a nightclub, and when Henson spotted the former angelic soprano coming out of Dorothy's Fish Bar on Caroline Street, he went over to talk to her. 'What was his chat-up line?', I hear you ask. 'Drop you're chips love, we're going to Charleston's for steak and chips'. How could she resist?
