Cosy Club opening its first restaurant in Swansea

Cosy Club is to open its first venue in Swansea. The restaurant brand , part of hospitality group Loungers, has agreed a long-term lease for its latest venue at the historic Exchange Building at the city’s Maritime Quarter.

Located on the building’s ground floor, Cosy Club is aiming to start trading in the first half of 2025. It will be its third restaurant in Wales alongside two existing venues in Cardiff. It has entered into a 20-year lease for 8,000 sq ft of space. The rent per sq ft has not been disclosed.

As part of a wider development of the building and the adjoining Post House, it will also become the latest project in the city from hotels group, The Morgans Collection, with plans for a 80 plus bedroom boutique hotel.

The Morgans Collection forms part of investment company Swansea.com, whose interests range from hotels to business parks, as well as holding a small equity stake in Swansea City FC.

Swansea.com acquired the 40,000 sq ft Exchange Building and the adjoining 25,000 sq ft Post House in 2009.

Managing director of Swansea.com, Jacob Hughes,, said: “I am delighted to announce that we have exchanged contracts with Cosy Club, part of Loungers plc.

"Cosy Club is a fantastic with only 36 sites in the UK. We are happy to be involved in bringing the brand to Swansea. They are looking to open in the middle of 2025 after both landlord and tenant undertake a substantial investment into the building."

Glanmor Chartered Surveyors acted for Swansea.com on the letting deal.

Loungers’ other brands include Lounge and Brightside. Across its brands it has more than 270 venues in the UK.
