Despite its name, this is a former bookshop transformed into a cocktail bar and night club and is only open two nights a week (plus Bank Holidays). It is set on the edge of a busy Bar & Café culture area. When it is quiet, they will happily serve any walk-in drinkers, but the large padded bar is primarily set up as a cocktail bar and the range of beers of any type is limited. Seating is mostly booths and high level seating, with a few normal height tables. It is open from 5pm with DJs starting from 8pm.

Information for this venue is provided by the Swansea Branch of CAMRA
