This place is still called the White Swan, but is currently closed. It looks like it is undergoing a refurbishment. But unfortunately, it could not offer us shelter from the rain.

Has now been taken upmarket a little. Was very quiet last Friday. Judging by the decks in the corner, it might get busier later. The front bar has now changed no pool table and no old men. There is a pool table in the back but access is restricted from both ends. A couple of real ales were on but not memorable.

Is now called The White Swan. Pool table in the front bar with a few old men sitting round the edge (Sat afternoon). Didn't explore the rest of the pub but seemed to have a large back room and beer garden.
The do serve real ales and the Spitfire was good.
It seemed a really nice old-fashioned sort of pub and is a welcome alternative to the crappy places on nearby Broad Street. It's right in the middle of a lot of city apartments so probably does well out of residents.

Now does cask ale's, quite an odd little pub, names being changed back to the white swan soon. i shall be visiting again

Went here for the first time yesterday. Strange layout with pool tables in both rooms. Decor quite light and cheery. 3 cask ales on offer.
|
The pub used to do real ale at one stage. A pity.

A Good Beer Guide Entry, but this pub does not match up to the specifications. Although the pub continued to advertise the availability of cask condition ale, none is available.
I was offered KEG Tetley and, having failed to obtain an explanation as to why pump clips for three cask ales were still being displayed falsely, I left the pub. Camera should be notified that real ale is not a priority in Darwin's.
