Looks like an old Cardiff institution is gone for good. It was the first gay club I ever went to, and I think many straight Cardiffidians would have gone there as a post-2AM place to carry on partying after other venues closed for the night. Yes, Club X, which shut down a couple of years ago, is going to be converted... to flats!

It's a shame in my view. The old gay venues on Charles Street - X and Exit, are much better laid out than the upstarts at Pulse and Wow. They actually have more than 1 dancefloor for a start, meaning the possibility of playing two kinds of music.
I'd hoped someone would come in and give Wow and Pulse a kick up the backside by reopening one of the old stalwarts and making it cool again. But alas it seems the choice is now between screaming twinks at Pulse and screaming drag queens at Wow forever more.
