The Observatory Swansea

1. Stumbled across this gem while exploring the Maritime Quarter. It’s a cool and quirky spot with a fantastic terrace offering great views. We loved the unique airplane seats and the diverse drink menu. Did have food however will definitely next time as the menu looked delicious. Highly recommend checking it out!

2. Attended a private party upstairs and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was outstanding and probably the best buffet food I’d ever had at a party.
   Views of the beach and surrounding area were mega.
   Decor was fab with some of it bringing back good memories of days gone by!
   Only knock down was the bar staff were a bit miserable.

3. Came here for breakfast. We loved the vintage vibe, which took us on a walk down memory lane. We ordered Observatory Brunch the counter and the food was brought to us. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

4. Silly prices for a small coffee when other nearby venues are of the same quality and cheaper. The family behind me playing Jenga at their table were screaming with their excessive excitement which lowered my atmosphere rating, I wanted a calm, relaxing spot on the beach but this is more like Crufts with board games on a Tuesday at 2pm… I love dogs but if you don’t, this place has many of them! The views are nice and the decor is retro/up-cycled beach-salvage theme which I love, but my pet hate is being charged extra for oat milk when it’s the often the same price as regular milk … Why do lactose intolerant guests get penalized with higher prices? It’s profiteering and borderline discriminatory. Other nearby venues don’t charge extra for oat milk, have calmer atmospheres and less dogs … So it depends what you’re looking for. I didn’t eat here, the food looked nicely presented (what I saw) and I attached some menus for you to see the prices.

5. Interesting venue with a good atmosphere. Food was good but a tad pricey. Coffee came with cream so I was pleased with that.
   We will return.
