The Brunswick, Swansea

I have only recently found this pub, as it was recommended by a friend of mine. It seems a really nice pub, quiet and cosy. The selection of beer is alright, too... however, there wasn't a great selection of ale when I was there last week.

But I will be returning to have more of a proper feel for it...

Westbourne Hotel, Swansea

A really nice pub and very neat and tidy. Got a few guest ales going on, along with other beers such as Peroni, Staropramen and the more common ones to be found.

The location is easy to get to, though a bit more difficult to park a car if you don't know the area (or how to get on the other side of the bollards).

There is also food done at the pub, but I haven't eaten there yet!

The Uplands Tavern, Swansea

Often I visit this pub, which is on the main street through Uplands... near the student houses, Tesco and a couple of shops and useful cash machines!

This is a really good pub for those who like space and gigs! Though there is a corner for the more cosy-seeking customers (named Dylan's Snug, after one of the famous locals who frequented the pub, Dylan Thomas). The choice of real ale is limited: Abbot Ale, Greene King IPA and one guest, which changes each month at times.

However, the place is not very good for phone signal, unless you go outside in the seating area, which can hold quite a few! And for some reason, the live music has gone louder... which sometimes makes it difficult to hear oneself think!

And the owners can be quite forceful on kicking out time. They are very punctual and like to keep it that way. But then... it's their job, pub and licence, after all!
