UK - The Pumphouse, in the heart of Swansea's Marina, has been extensively refurbished by Welsh brewer and Pub Company S.A. Brain and Co Ltd. Internal features retain much of the original brickwork and white timber panelling and the décor includes pictures and graphics of the pump house in its working heyday. Other decorative artefacts give the venue a distinctly maritime theme. A new glazed area to one side of The Pumphouse blends tastefully with the old building and affords customers an excellent view of the Marina and waterway.

Seating throughout the bar and restaurant areas is unusually varied, ranging from high stools, leather-clad bench seats, comfy tub chairs, hard back seating, settees and bean bags; clearly aimed at catering for all age groups. The sound system, selected by local Cardiff-based installer Jeff Smith of Smith Electrical, utilises a combination of Tannoy 18 V8s and five CMS110 active ceiling subwoofers throughout the two-storey site. Dispersion characteristics of the V8's Dual Concentric driver allow precise targeting of sound where it is needed, say Tannoy. The CMS 110-B provides low frequency reinforcement, which is well extended, dynamic, and unobtrusive. Despite a combination of wide open and many secluded, intimate areas on both levels, the system maintains an even sound quality throughout the venue.
