A gorgeous independent restaurant-bar in Swansea's Uplands is closing down permanently as a result of the financial damage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Maisie's Streetfood and Bar on Uplands Crescent, well-known locally for its crepes, waffles, street food and cocktails, will close its doors for the last time on Sunday, July 24.
Owner Steve Herbert said he and his colleagues have explored all options to keep the business going, but Covid has "simply caught up with us". For more stories about Uplands, go here.
"I can confirm we are closing," he told WalesOnline. "Quite simply we just can't catch up on the damage from Covid. Our liquidators say thousands of businesses are closing down as Covid has caught up with them. We've been through all the options [but it's not sustainable]. We just can't catch up on the bills that racked up during Covid."
