SWANSEA PUBS
Help us to keep these pages up to date, click here if you have new information
Where to start?
We cannot hope to list all the city's pubs, so were going to list a few of the better ones.
Come to think of it we'll list the crap ones as well so you don't end up in some real hole.
All the pubs close to the University are listed, further away many are missed out.
Before we go any further we should link to a partly constructed and Desperately outdated site by W.Lovett at Swansea Uni
where you can view pictures of some of the favoured student pubs.
HOW TO USE THIS PAGE
We thought it would be easier if we listed features of the pubs selected.
Choose the feature you feel most important from the list below (eg 'real ale') and you will get
a list of pubs. All those pubs will sell real ales...Easy!
Alternatively select a location and you will get a list of the pubs in that area.
You can then click on any pub in the list to find out more details.
Pubs listed in yellow are not linked and have yet to be researched, if anyone out there wants to Email us
details on these pubs we will be gratefull. Also please tell us about any errors.
Expect this list to grow but checking out the local pubs is an arduous task
and one we cannot take lightly! We will not rush the job!.
