Castleton Walk Arcade in Mumbles is home to a host of businesses - a butchers, dry cleaners, health shop, card shop, toy shop, bakery, coffee shop - and now, a gorgeous new bar and late-night venue. Cu Mumbles opened on the top floor of the mini shopping centre on Newton Road a fortnight ago and is quickly gaining a reputation as being the place to go for a night out with friends or to celebrate a birthday or special event.
Cu Mumbles takes its name from its copper decor - Cu is the symbol for the chemical element copper - and the emphasis on the venue as a place to catch up with friends and loved ones, with Cu Mumbles meaning "see you [in] Mumbles".
The brain-child of local businessman Adrian Evans, the independent venue fits in excess of 100 people and features a stunning bar serving an extensive drinks menu, plenty of tables and chairs to relax and socialise, a stage with pull-down large screen for cinema nights, a good-sized dance-floor area and a "VIP area" with separate bar, bartender and host.
