A lovely looking pub, it could hardly have been more traditional in its appearance…read more Sunday afternoon was in full swing with roast dinners being served left, right and centre while a plaintive Irish singer crooned. Unfortunately where I was sat the beepity beepity bong of an attention seeking quiz machine somewhat disrupted any spell. Evans Evans Warrior from a barrel behind the bar was good and Theakston dark made for a competent sidekick (The supervillians being The Speckled Hen and The Abbot). Looks like they normally have a couple of beers served from the barrel, but possibly by Sunday a weekends heavy drinking had weakened them.

Truly great beer selection - they have all the standard beers, lagers, ciders etc, but behind the…read morebar are three shiny copper-plated barrels each with a guest ale. I've only ever seen one on at a time - when it runs out, another is tapped - but it's always worth trying a pint (it's quite reasonably priced, about £2.50 a pint right now). The staff are lovely, the pub quiz on a monday night is always packed with a mix of older locals and younger students (getting along fine!), and there's often live music courtesy of local bands and singer/songwriters.

(Also the toilets aren't miles away upstairs through countless corridors and doors but at sensible ground level!) A good selection of beer on offer including Tuborg, Marsdens, Carlsberg, Ruddles, John Smiths and Guinness. The house wine is a lovely Merlot. There is varied seating throughout the pub, from wooden chairs with tables to nice alcoves. You can eat anywhere but there is a special dining area on the right as you go in, a bit similar to the Wetherspoon at Bridgend. The Curry Club on Thursdays is recommended - prices are much lower than other days of the week and there is a wonderful variety of meals to choose from at all times - great for vegetarians too; there are even choices for vegans (I recommend the chick pea curry with extra poppadoms instead of naan bread). Lovely inexpensive desserts and good coffee as well! We were served by Ben yesterday, who was really nice - but I also spoke to two other members of staff who brought the food and they were friendly and very helpful. We'll definitely eat there again the next time we're in Swansea.

It's quite big, the food is what you'd expect and it has the usual bunch of drinks on sale. One thing I do like is the selection of ale they have, but that's pretty normal to most Wetherspoons. The only way I can really review this place is in respect to other Wetherspoons, this is a charming, nicely laid out pub with good service, good food (For a Wetherspoons) and a nice atmosphere.

The Westbourne used to be a quiet, dark, slightly scruffy affair until it had a facelift a few…read moreyears ago. Now it is quite nice, and gets packed out on the weekends. Brynymor Road is in the middle of a very popular area for student accommodation, but the beer in the Westbourne is significantly more expensive than in the 'Brynymor' just up the road, which obviously has an effect on the type of crowd it attracts. Having said that, it is lot more student friendly than it used to be. You will see a lot of students in there at the start and end of term, when they can get their parents to pay for the more expensive beer. They do decent food, and have got on board with some of the newer ideas hitting pubs, wireless internet, coffee and suchlike. There are quite a few flat screens, but local rugby will usually take preference over football. When there's no sport on, they play Sultans of Swing and Build me up Buttercup on loop. I exaggerate, but only slightly.

Sadly, this pub has had a VERY bad reputation over the Years, so the new owners must have an uphill battle to make it attractive to new customers.

We called in here last week for the first time in a LONG time, and really enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the lovely Summer weather, so much we called back the next Day with a couple of friends too, and we all had some lovely Ciabatta's, and another thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. This Pub seems to have now got a new lease of life, judging by the amount of people here in the last week or so. Nice to see this Pub busy again, we will be going back soon
