A "party pub" will be taking over the site of the former Idols nightclub in Swansea's Wind Street as it opens its second UK venue. Scandinavian pub and club operator Rekom, which owns Swansea's Fiction nightclub and new sports bar Wingers among its long list of UK venues, has confirmed it is now leasing the former Idols nightclub unit in Swansea city centre and will be turning it into a Proud Mary pub.
The news comes a year after it was announced that Swansea Marina-based gin bar Gin Ne Sais Quoi was going to take on the former Idols unit with an aim to open it as their second venue in time for Beaujolais Day in November 2021. It's understood those plans fell through in late 2021.
Now the huge nightclub-bar unit is being redeveloped into a quirky pub with lots of tables and bench-style seating. It's understood management are aiming to open the new pub in early 2023. For more news on new food and drink venues opening in Wales, go here.
