The Quadrant Gate, Swansea

DuncanDisorderly are you sure you were not trying to buy a beer of one of the many workmen they're after the pub shut haha. I spent quite a time before the pub was shut working behind the bar there.
And was responsible for the hearty portions that KilgorTrout mentions. Bless the oaps would be there in there droves at lunchtime as you'd be lucky to get Calvary anywhere else.
great atmosphere, and great spot. And it was run by the same person the 3 yrs I worked there.
if you recall it had a huge fire there and never opened again. Sadly the brewery had on plans to reopen after that... But hey with massive sum they pocketed through the sale of the gate they werent just laughing all the way to the bank they were doing cart wheels all the way there lol. :)

Oceana, Swansea

Considering Oceana has really only been open around 5/6 and given the fact that we've suddenly shot up the premiership ladder with the footie you'd think businesses and especially the likes of Oceana would at least make some sort off effort.
Bar quarter looks fab all boarded up and looking like a squat. And by God those night club carpets are stinking. Though I must say that though the beer isn't to good I found that on the very few occasions that I have been there the staff have been very polite and efficient.
especially one bar maid that didn't look as if she would reach the bar. Bless. Linzy or Lucy or something like that I think she called herself. Very polite.
