The Prince of Wales, Grade II listed pub in Cardiff city centre, Wales.
The Prince of Wales stands at the corner of St Mary Street and Wood Street, featuring a Venetian Gothic design with Doric columns and neoclassical elements.
Built in 1878 as the New Royal Theatre with a capacity of 2,800 seats, the building transformed through various roles including cinema, bingo hall, and casino until 1999.
The theatre hosted performances by Richard Burton, Noël Coward, and Laurence Olivier, while the Welsh National Opera made its debut here in 1946.
The establishment operates from 7:00 AM to midnight Monday through Thursday, with extended hours until 1:00 AM on weekends, offering food service and multiple screens.
The building's interior underwent a Greek Revival renovation in 1920, adding a grand entrance with large Doric columns supporting neoclassical statuary.
