Swansea has always boasted plenty of places to go for a fancy meal, quick bite to eat, or a drink at your local boozer or cocktail bar.
Although this year lots of new places have opened sadly we have lost a number of well-loved venues.
Here we've compiled a list of the businesses in the hospitality sector that have closed in Swansea during 2020.
La Parrilla
In January Mediterranean restaurant La Parrilla closed both restaurants in Mumbles and SA1.
A statement issued by the restaurant said the "extremely difficult" decision came after a "long period of reflection on how we could strengthen and evolve our family-run company against a backdrop of unprecedented tough times".
La Parrilla had been a popular venue in the city for a number of years before closing at the beginning of the year.
Walkabout
Walkabout in Wind Street sadly closed after two decades in January.
Over the years the Australian bar had been a place where you would go for live sport including Grand Slams and Swans victory celebrations.
The Oyster Lounge
The Oyster Lounge, located in Western Lane just behind Mumbles Rugby Club, closed its doors for good in February.
The Oyster Lounge moved to its location around eight years ago having previously been based in the former Mumbles Conservative Club.
The pub established itself as a place for live music.
Keep tabs on what's going on where you live:
Jones Bar and Kitchen
Jones Bar and Kitchen in Mumbles decided to not re-open after lockdown.
In July the lease on the wine and food bar in Newton Road was due to end shortly and its owner Adam Jones said he decided at the end of 2019 he would not be looking to replace it.
But he said the added pressures of lockdown had convinced him the time was right to say goodbye to the bar he had run for the past 11 years.
The Kitchen Table
Popular café The Kitchen Table, ranked the sixth best restaurant in Mumbles on TripAdvisor, announced in July it would not re-open following the period of enforced closure as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown.
The independently-run café-style restaurant said in a statement the decision was due to the "devastating financial impact" of the coronavirus pandemic.
Located along Mumbles Road, the business earned rave reviews for its home-cooked and locally-sourced Sri Lankan cuisine. It catered for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
The Dolphin Inn
One of Gower's oldest and most historic pubs announced is was closing in August.
The Dolphin Inn in Llanrhidian has been around since 1785 and for more than 50 years was run by the same family.
Staff announced its closure in a Facebook post on July 31, which said: "It is with great disappointment that we inform you that the Dolphin Inn will remain closed permanently.
"We would like to thank every single one of our customers who made our time there unforgettable!
"All the best from the team at the Dolphin Inn."
