| Flagship pub for real ale in Swansea West. Proper pub atmosphere with 3 different bars and convenient for walks in the Clyne Valley. Front bar a cosy classic populated by some interesting characters from the area and you can easily strike up a conversation most evenings. One gripe is that the pub does not stock a good lager. I know real ale puritans dismiss lager drinkers but lager, like cider, stout and the rest all need to be represented at least in bottle form. johnlee - 4 Sep 2011 18:01 |
| a great pub with friendly locals and some great ales. check out the "three cliffs gold" well worth a visit if visiting the area hywel2002 - 20 Jul 2011 09:09 |
| My favourite pub in Swansea - no make that anywhere :) . I recommend the Original wood Although as the brewer Rory would say "you want to be careful with that stuff" and I never listen ;) Fantastic semi rural pub with beer brewed in Swansea. hotrod69 - 9 Jun 2011 13:57 |
| Went in recently when down on holiday. Great range of well-kept beer. I think you would call the locals a funny lot of old timers! They are however, a friendly bunch and make the atmosphere. Make sure you visit when you are in the area NigelW - 2 Sep 2010 12:15 |
| Our host decided we (a Yank couple) needed to earn our beer, so we hiked up a lovely trail to The Railway Inn. Well worth the trudge, we enjoyed a number of excellent ales, a charming hostess and a welcoming group of locals. We returned for another visit two days later and had a great time. Not sure if our visit would have been the same without the good cheer and drinking ability of our Abertawe-born host, but I assume so. My only complaint is that the Welsh uniformly assume we Yanks are still reduced to drinking lagers and "light" swill at home. I don't think we convinced anyone otherwise but rest assured, we do have exceptional craft breweries here in the states! bwoods3 - 3 Apr 2010 01:44 |
