As you would expect there\u2019s a vast range of spirits and a decent selection of both red and white wine, although the draught beer selection is a little disappointing.<br \/>\nAt \u00a33.75 for a pint of Amstel and the same for a medium glass of white wine it\u2019s reasonably priced for a city-centre bar of its type, and there was no danger of struggling to find a place to sit down on a Wednesday evening.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s always pleasing once you\u2019ve found a seat to be able to actually talk to the person you\u2019re with and thankfully Ten Feet Tall doesn\u2019t fall into the trap of blasting music out in the belief that it creates atmosphere.<br \/>\nThere was music, but it was at the right volume and the atmosphere created itself, as it should do in any bar worth its salt.<br \/>\nOn the downside it sometimes felt like everything was a little false, from the bookcase-patterned wallpaper to the rather garish lanterns hanging from the walls. It shouldn\u2019t be enough to put you off going, but it felt as though Ten Feet Tall isn\u2019t quite as intimate and trendy as it thinks it is. In fact there\u2019s a slight hint of the chain-pub about it.<br \/>\nOn balance the reasonably priced drink and lavish selection of booze behind the bar wins out. It\u2019s pleasant without being exciting and for a quiet drink or two in the city centre it should certainly be on your list, although not quite at the top of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the last six years Ten Feet Tall has been busy building up its reputation as one of Cardiff\u2019s best city-centre bars.
