Local record
History of this pub
The Waterfront sat right on the water in Swansea's SA1 docks redevelopment, sharing a modern building with a 132-bed Premier Inn and a Tesco Express, with its entrance on the waterside and outdoor tables looking over the marina. CAMRA describes a large L-shaped room with separate bar and restaurant areas, open early for breakfast. After the chain closed on 10 September 2026, the restaurant was put up for sale as a going concern through Christie & Co.
