Swans legends and city dignitaries mark opening of The Swansea Jack sports bar
The Swansea Jack, located on Little Wind Street, welcomed its first customers on Wednesday afternoon (19 November), offering fans a dedicated space to celebrate the club’s heritage, watch live sport, and connect with fellow supporters.
The venue takes its name from the original Swansea Jack pub near the old Vetch Field, a matchday favourite for generations of fans. Its modern incarnation aims to revive that spirit with big screens, club memorabilia, and regular appearances from Swans legends.
Familiar faces at launch
A pre-launch event held the night before saw a mix of former players, civic leaders and venue partners gather to mark the opening.
Among those attending were Lee Trundle, Àngel Rangel, and Matthew Bound, alongside The Lord Mayor of Swansea Cheryl Philpott, High Sheriff Diana Sara Stroia, and Mal Pope.
Guests at the pre-launch of The Swansea Jack sports bar included Swans legends, civic leaders and venue partners.Venue owner Dal Dhillon said the response from fans had been immediate:
“We’re delighted with the reaction since opening The Swansea Jack. Our aim has always been to create a true home for Swansea City supporters — a place where the club’s heritage is celebrated and where fans can come together to enjoy unforgettable matchday and non-matchday experiences.”
Club-backed and fan-focused
Swansea City AFC has formally recognised The Swansea Jack as its official sports bar. Club CEO Tom Gorringe said the venue was a welcome addition to the city centre:
“We are pleased to see The Swansea Jack open its doors as the club’s official sports bar right in the heart of Swansea City Centre. We believe the venue celebrates the history and identity of Swansea City in a way that truly resonates with our supporters.”
What fans can expect
Inside, visitors will find a mix of live sport, Swansea City content, and a full food and drink menu. The venue says it plans to host regular events featuring current and former players, with the goal of making it a year-round destination for fans — not just on matchdays.
The Swansea Jack is now open to the public. More information is available at www.theswanseajack.com.
