This is the first time I have known a Yates's to be in the GBG.
In Swindon early last Saturday morning I just had to make a visit.
Yes they have 6 hand pulls, 5 had ales and 1 had a Perry on called "Pickled Parrott" @ 6%.
The regular ale is one of Bombardier, 6X or Hobgoblin.
The other four are for rrgular changing real ales.
I had a pint of Steam Box Brewery Hare's Share which was 4.5% and very nice and cost £2.70.

I could not care less what their ale is like.
The sight of the 'clientele' swaying and staggering around outside this dive (on a weekday lunchtime) would prevent me from ever entering.
The dregs of humanity.
The could give the beer away and I still wouldn't go in.

Was in the other week when having an afternoon drink and surprised that they did cask ale. The Yates's Best was good and value for money at �1.79 for a pint. Bombardier on too and half of that went down well. Again good value at under �2 a pint. The place is welcoming and the staff seemed to be really enjoying been at work. Good service from the guy and girl behind the bar and the food that went past me smelled good. Cask Marque credited too. Definatley worth a visit when in Swindon.

Good night out here, can get busy and sometimes have to wait a while to get served but d.j is cool and even better when Gordy is playing lol......

Had a wicked night out here, by far the best bar downtown in Swindon. Staff were really friendly and got my picture on their Facebook page!
|
got quieter now with the new Lloyds no 1 opening up and saturdays seem to be getting cheesier still a good place to stop off though.
|
Nice and clean with lots of toilets with loo roll which makes a change in Swindon! Got asked for ID which is a bit much at 25 but at least it's not full of kids. DJ was great & sexy! Took a while to get served & was really packed but floor sellers came round with shots. Staff friendly and not too pricey.

good music, bit pricey, unfriendly staff, small dancefloor, GREAT food, the poles are alot of fun. but has been taken over by old people.
|
Food was really good for a high street chain! Staff were friendly & good atmos - only negative for me was lots of families with young children were in eating.
