Brunswick, Swanseaback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I have only recently found this pub, as it was recommended by a friend of mine. It seems a really nice pub, quiet and cosy. The selection of beer is alright, too... however, there wasn't a great selection of ale when I was there last week.
But I will be returning to have more of a proper feel for it...

Working in Swansea area. Found pub via Good Beer Guide. A long yomp from city centre for not a lot. Been twice, beer adequate at best on both occasions. Choice not great either, standards like 6x or (god help us) beer from the Cottage Brewery. Nothing special and not really worth the trek.

Personally, I think they are losing a lot of their trade across the road, to the much improved St. George, but don't realise it yet. I still think this place is an expensive place to eat with no atmosphere at all, and totally bland food as well. We met friends in here today and were bored silly in this Pub, no background music at all, and I stick by my earlier comment on here of it being like a Library. I was glad to get out there in fact. May suit some people, but next time I arrange to meet friends for a meal, it won't be in here, it will be across the road..........

Still ok, but the live music has got progressively louder and less suited to the pub's clientele. People who come here expect the music to be a background event, not the main focus of the evening. And last night's band, though praiseworthy in their own way, were not so much Buena Vista Social Club as Penlan Social Club!

A proper pub with proper beer.A pleasant change from chain establishments.
|
Strange atmosphere in here.Seems like a Library actually, pretty bland food too, but VERY costly for what you get. Perhaps they are concentrating too much on their new venture just around the corner called " Bar Reef"......

Hidden away down a little side street, you have to know where this pub is - you'd be very lucky to accidentally stumble across it. I lived in Swansea for a year, and this was my local. An excellent selection of ever-changing real ale, served from barrels behind the bar. Pleasant bar snacks included cockles! Decent grub and very friendly bar staff. Definitely one of the best pubs in Swansea - well worth making an effort to get to.

Brilliant food, a decent selection of beverages, and reasonable prices. Plus a nice atmosphere makes for an overall high quality pub.
|
Tucked away in Sawnsea, been to this pub a few times, excellent ales racked up on barrels behind the bar, plus jars of cockles on sale make an unusual bar snack. Visited here the same day as the Brunswick Derby - not a bad pub crawl if you don't mind the 4 hour train journey!...
