Vivian, Skettyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The Vivian Arms was our final pub of the day and was another Brains pub, located on a crossroads in the centre of Sketty. It was busy with people eating their Sunday lunches. Beers on were Brains Bitter, SA, The Rev James & Rye Catcher & Butcombe Bitter. Certainly another locals place.

Was dragged in here recently against my better protests, and to be honest, it was O.K for a drink, but certainly not a Pub I would like to spend much time in. Strange atmosphere all round, and it seems like a very " clique " type of place, so if you are in with the crowd, its probably a good Pub, if not ( like me ) its a place to avoid.......

Currently closed, but due to open soon as another S.A.Brains Pub in the area. The horrible burgundy colour, the outside of it is being painted at the moment looks dreadful. Wonder what type of clientelle they are expecting to attract !!!!!.......

Yep, certainly agree with the comment below, this Pub has gone to the Dogs lately, and is not even worth a visit nowdays. Perhaps they will buck their ideas up when the new Spinning Wheel opens in Sketty,and challenges their captive audience " Food Trade " trade.......

was one of the best pubs in swansea with a good mixed clientele.then Brains refurbed painted the outside a horrible colour and drove most of the regulars out.This seems to be policy in many of their tarted up pubs.What has happened to community spirit?Not recommended,come back Mr Snowball!

"No one else has complained today". Classic. They obviously did yesterday and will do tomorrow.
Why is it called the Vivian anyway?

Wish I could agree with that previous comment having recently eaten here, probably the worst meals we have had in a Pub for a long time. The Chilli was so full of Salt we took it back, only to be told " No one else has complained today "....and you just could not cut the Steak as it was so undercooked, again to be told by the Staff, " You asked for it to be medium rare ".....When asked what they were going to do about the quality of the meals, we were told to leave it, if we didn't like it.......So we did, and left. Terrible Food, Terrible Staff. Terrible Pub.....what other reason do you need NOT to go there.....
|
A great little pub with good food, friendly staff and excellent Brains beer.
