Construction work transforming an empty former nightclub unit on Swansea's Wind Street into a 'party pub' has begun. Danish nightlife operator REKOM, which owns Swansea's Fiction nightclub and Wingers sports bar, told WalesOnline last autumn that it planned on opening its second Proud Mary venue in Swansea following the successful launch of the UK's first Proud Mary venue in Cardiff last October, and the company has finally now shared details of the new venture.
Proud Mary Swansea will have a capacity of 600 people and will host live music performances and pub quizzes every week, and will also be somewhere people can go to watch sport over a few drinks, catch up with friends or simply dance the night away.
In a statement on June 6, a spokesperson for the company confirmed the team at Proud Mary are on-site and aiming to open the new pub-venue, which will create up to 60 jobs, "this autumn."
