About Cockett Inn
Cockett Inn is a grassroots music venue in Y Cocyd, Swansea with a standing capacity of approximately 80. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Cockett Inn is a friendly local on Waunarlwydd Road in the Cockett (Y Cocyd) district of Swansea, just off the A4216 and part of the Phoenix pub group. Live music takes the stage on the second and last Saturday of every month, giving local acts a regular billing for both originals and covers across mixed genres, supported by a house PA and a couple of vocal mics. Beyond the music it's a proper community boozer — beer garden, dog-friendly, cask ales, pool table, darts, Sky Sports and a Sunday-evening quiz. Open noon to 11pm, seven days a week. Around 80 standing.
