It's been a year of highs and lows for businesses and events in Swansea. At the top of the rollercoaster, our huge new Swansea Arena opened to the public back in March and plans for cable cars, luge runs and a zipline from Kilvey Hill took a huge step forward last month.
But, at the bottom of the ride, we've seen several of our favourite bars, cafes and restaurants close down - many due to the cost of living crisis and others due to a change in people's shopping habits or, tragically, due to awful circumstances like extensive damage caused by a fire.
Here's our round-up of the Swansea bars and restaurants that have unfortunately closed down this year. You can share your best memories of these venues in the comments below this article - or get in touch if you work for any of the businesses listed and have plans in future.
