Why would you want to gallivant around town when you have this quiet bar just a few floors below your bedroom?
BAR AMERICANOS – PRINCE OF WALES DOCK, KINGS ROAD, WATERSIDE, SA1 8PG
This confident bar has deemed itself as Swansea’s ‘premier music, drink and food venue’. Located on the SA1 waterside, Bar Americanos is a fashionable setting for anyone looking for a great cocktail while lounging under soft lighting. Distressed wooden boards line the floor and trendy wall décor compliments the jazz piano vibe.
Pay a visit to Bar Americanos if you like the idea of gentle jazz in an intimate atmosphere on the water.
NOAH’S YARD – 38 UPLANDS CRESCENT, UPLANDS, SA2 0PG

With comfortable classic Chesterfield couches and exposed brick, Noah’s Yard has thrifty décor that you’ll feel right at home in.
THE BAY VIEW – 400 OYSTERMOUTH ROAD, SA1 3UL

A stone’s throw from the sea, the Bay View is known for its rustic charm, with a roaring log fire and relaxed seating. This is a must visit if you’d like a quiet drink in a classic country pub atmosphere. But surprisingly you won’t get pies and chips here, if you want to order food you’ll have a vast Thai menu to choose from.
Take your pick from a large selection of cask and continental beers or lagers to sip on and listen to the melodic tunes of the live acts who frequent here.
JONES BAR – 61 NEWTON ROAD, MUMBLES, SA3 4BL

Sip on a colourful cocktail between even brighter walls in this compact, yet trendy, venue. And take in the unique surroundings from the well-stocked bar. If you’re going to spend a late evening enjoying a quiet drink anywhere other than our hotel, this is the place to be.
As a part of the Swansea cityscape for over 50 years, we know a thing or two about the local area here at the Dragon Hotel. Pop in for a quiet drink and we’ll tell you all about it.
