    Tiny, buy nice Club with Live Gigs on with Indie & Alternative genres direction of. Cool that they invite some proper welsh bands as there is not many venues in town with that. The only think they should put more attention of is local beers and drinks. Small (pricey) cans of Tiny Rebel will not sort out this case.

    Drove down to catch a couple of bands, primarily Goat Major. First time here, and was made up by the place. It reminds me of metal bars from a few years ago, bar staff were friendly and the gig itself was great.

    The best music venue in Swansea. Everyone is so welcoming at the Bunkhouse, cheap drinks and fantastic music everytime I visit. Your missing out if you’ve never been 🎸

    First time there loved it very friendly and helpful went for a rock gig sound was really good it was upstairs but I gather there is disabled access, room smallish and reminded me of old marquee will definitely go again

    A small but intimate atmospheric venue, that just reverberates with positive vibes, cool lighting. Due to the size of venue careful mixing by bands required to ensure vocals can be heard above the drums and other instruments. Friendly staff, well stocked bar. Lots of steps from the bar to music venue. Good toilet. Sticky floor makes it hard to dance on[ hence 4 stars ]. Bar also inside the venue.

    A small venue, but great acoustics. I saw cam cole here and had a great night

    Bit small and dingy, but that usually adds to the experience and makes it much more personal. A good venue on the whole.

    I've never been here before but went along with friends who have been before. Great band called accident something. Great bar service , efficient and friendly and put me at ease and good normal priced drinks . Friendly , relaxed, student, eclectic mix of people of all ages and styles . I'd attend again for a band I'd really want to see .

    Second time at the Bunkhouse and another great evening with excellent music. Will definitely be back, highly recommend this venue.

    Bunkhouse Swansea is by far the best live music venue the city has to offer. The front bar is perfect for pre gig drinks and after gig parties. It’s kitted out really nicely, so great for just a few off the cuff beers to. The back/main room is loud and intimate, with lighting that will blow ur socks off. All in all, no place like it. If uve not been, ur missing out 10/10 venue and staff

    Absolutely love this place! have had food delivered throughout lockdown & recently went to their reopening night, for a meal with my family. We all loved it! Fantastic choice of burgers/hotdogs. My son loves the Pizza Burger & Pizza fries & he is super fussy (understatement!) Great atmosphere & friendly helpful staff. 10/10...I can't wait to revisit, in its original capacity as a live music venue. Highly recommend πŸ’―
