Casbah, Swindonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
An absolutely awful couple of hours spent in here. I followed my friends here as celebrating a birthday so had little choice but to go in. A thug of a doorman threw a young man of 19 against a door as he was in the way when a scuffle broke out. I really wish I had read the reviews first before going here. I will never visit this disgusting place again. The young man was in a lot of pain. NEVER AGAIN! Vile man.

Sticky carpet, dirty looking glasses and the drinks were definitely watered down.
Argued with the manager (apparently her name is Deborah) who insisted that the drinks came straight from an optic.
That I didn't disagree with, but how much water was actually in the cheap vodka was another matter.
Avoid like the plague if you want to have a good time with no fighting, because it seemed like the place to go for a brawl.
Not a nice place, wouldn't suggest anyone went there unless you were really, truly desperate!

Well its been a long time since I came to the Casbah, but oh my fanny its changed alot, I would not go there again, its as if you look at someone the wrong way then you might get stabbed and your money nicked......

this is not a pub but a place for the young to get drunk to at the weekends listening to cheesy music

I see the art of fine literature is not dead.
The place may well be a "hole" but if this is the best you can do you're better off leaving it to adults.
As it happens I can't stand the place either because it tends to be full of teenagers. The general policy of the place is not what I want in a pub (or bar) i.e. cheap drinks, loud music & young clientelle with bad attitude. They don't want me, I don't want them and never the twain.

The Casbah certainly knows who it wants as customers -and if you're over 21 it aint you.
Bars with bouncers are usually bad news, and this one is no exception.
Nasty.

this used to be my favourite pub! went there pretty much everytime i went out.
resonable priced drinks. they now serve food which is good cuz theres always piss heads in there which need sobreing up.
good music. thats if u like the 80's and early 90's stuff.
needs more toilets, and someone is always in there cleaning and offering hand towels, and sweets and stuff to buy. which is good. only thing is, in the last 6 months, old people have taken over. im talkin old as in their 40's. rubbish now cause of them. they need to start appealing to the younger age group like an R&B night, there are some left as swindon has been taken over emo people...so remember us R&b lovers!!
good bouncers, always a que tho. wen u get in there again old people. but the bar staff are very very friendly! oh and they charge for water and wont even give you a glass of water for free which i think is wrong. you kinda get put off with the boy racers always lurking outside.
