BrewDog has said it has closed its doors for good in Swansea because of "increasing costs and spiralling energy bills". The popular Scottish pub chain opened in Wind Street in late 2019 after the closure of The Bucket List. It proved to be a popular venue serving up a range of IPAs, and a food menu which included burgers and all you can eat chicken wings.
But the chain has now made the "difficult decision" to close the bar, blaming the current economic climate. No jobs will be lost, as all staff have been offered roles in bars and venues operated by BrewDog's partner, Creative Hospitality Group, run by Bruno Nunes, which has other brands in the city such as BrewStone in Uplands.
BrewDog said it hoped to return to the city in future in a statement disclosing the reasons behind the closure of the venue. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
