Heaven Swansea

You walk into Heaven and immediately clock that someone's actually thought about what they're doing here. Castle Street's had its share of forgettable booze barns, but this spot feels different — there's proper glassware, actual bartenders who know their stuff, and drinks that taste like someone's tasted them before they hit your glass. The crowd's a mix of locals who've ditched the student dive circuit and folk who actually want a decent Negroni when they're out. It's got that sweet spot where you don't feel like you're being charged London prices, but you're also not getting a watered-down pint and a suspicious smile.
