Gareth Bale golf bar 'that looks like strip club' not even in top 50 for 'fun in Cardiff'

Publish date: 2024-04-10

Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.

That statement stands in retirement, it appears. It's been just over 12 months since Gareth Bale decided to hang up his boots one last time after a stint with LAFC.

The golf-loving nut can now spend more time at his mini-golf bar, Par 59 - located in Cardiff's city centre. However, some would have you believe it 'looks more like a strip club' with its decor – and TripAdvisor users might just agree with them.

Par 59 doesn't even crack the top 50 when it comes to "fun things to do in Cardiff", with the bar achieving just a 3/5 rating - placing it 53rd out of 88 options. One cheeky fan reviewed the venue as "well below par", while another added: "Not great quality and busy..."

However, its not all bad reviews for the golf bar, with some praising the venue for its atmosphere. "Great experience," one fan gushed, and a second said: "Place has awesome vibes!"

Bale opened a second Par 59 in Bristol earlier this year, with the former Tottenham and Real Madrid star sharing the news on social media: "Delighted to open our second Par 59 this weekend. Massive thank you to all involved for all your hard work."

However, the launch didn't quite go as planned for Bale, as fans questioned why the venue looks suspiciously like something else. One punter said: “Strip club vibes.” Another added: “Why did I think this was a strip club?"

Most of the responses were reserved for the £10-a-go 'Glory Hole' - we promise it's mini golf! “The glory hole? Really," one said.

Bale walked away from football last January - sharing an emotional statement on social media: "My decision to retire from international football has been by far the hardest of my career.

"My journey on the international stage is one that has changed not only my life but who I am."
