The Bay View is a seafront pub at 400 Oystermouth Road, Swansea (SA1 3UL), overlooking Swansea Bay and doubling as an award-winning Thai dining room serving authentic, freshly prepared Thai food seven days a week. Music is a regular fixture: a weekly Tuesday open mic hosted by Ross Bullitt, jazz on Fridays with some of Swansea's finest players, and cover bands on Sundays by request. It's dog-friendly, hires out for functions with no room charge, and welcomes both originals and covers on its house PA — a friendly, grassroots seafront stage with a strong food draw.
