An independent Italian restaurant has unexpectedly replaced gin bar Juniper Place in Swansea city centre. Positano, which was previously located next to Rasoi Indian restaurant at the J Shed Arcade in Swansea Marina, has relocated to the ground floor unit at 1 York Street - taking over Juniper Place, which was previously understood to be temporarily closed for refurbishment.
Positano signs have now been put up on the main entrance to the building and in front of its outdoor dining space. The unit is beneath Old Havana on the first floor, which is also said to be temporarily closed for refurbishment
Earlier this year, staff at Juniper Place confirmed the venue was closing "temporarily" whilst it was revamped. A post on its Facebook page on January 11 said: "New for 2023: We're temporarily closed while we carry out extensive improvements and an exciting refurbishment to the venue. We've had the best five years making memories with you all, it's time for a change. More news pending... The venues will be OPEN very soon. Cardiff Feb 23. Swansea March 23."
