Inside empty bar and restaurant in popular city suburb now going to auction
Once a popular place to meet, drink and potentially eat, the Venue bar and restaurant, formerly known as Miss Jones, on Cardiff's Whitchurch high street is going under the hammer. But anyone who lives in the area or visits this welcoming suburban high street regularly will tell you that the site has had many reincarnations as an eatery and a quick rummage around on google street view back to 2008 reveals that at that time the site was a third less in size, with a co-operative travel shop occupying next door, and was called The Village Diner & Brasserie. In 2009 the google van drove past again and snapped the property now called The Village Kitchen & Bar, but in 2014 it had changed to Miss Jones and the co-op travel shop unit next door was empty. By September of the next year, 2015, this extra space where the co-op had been was absorbed into the Miss Jones establishment.

Then there were rumours that The Potting Shed would be opening at the venue, with their Facebook group actively posting in 2018 that this was the case. But that did not seem to materialise. The site began to become rundown and a pigeon-infested eye-sore, much to local residents' dismay, until in October 2018 we reported that The Irish Bar Group had earmarked the location for the first of three new Jack Russell's bars & kitchens coming to Cardiff. The Whitchurch site would be the first to open after a £1m investment and refurbishment project. But back to google street view in October 2022 and the site has again changed, Jack Russells is gone and an establishment called Venue, offering food, bar and garden terrace appeared in its place but that too has ceased trading, the site is now closed and about to go to online auction with Seel & Co with an opening bid guide price of £450,000 from noon, Monday June 9 to 4.21pm on Tuesday 10 June, call 029 2037 0117 to find out more.
