My travel companion and I cannot say enough nice things about this little gem…read more For starters, in a small town of lots of over processed foods, this place offers fresh and clean foods. The coffee is good, the food is excellent (breakfast and beyond) and the staff are little rays of sunshine. The seating is indoors, outdoors, and the restrooms are clean. I'm vegetarian and he is Muslim, and we were able to find great snacks and full meals at this place without issue. If you are in Swansea - please try this place. Opens at 9 and closes at 10.

Live music in the middle, live rugby from the World Cup on a screen at the back. Plus nice seating outside. Good selection of ales, including some local ones. However, they were understaffed and it took a long time to get a pint. Definitely recommend the Cwtch Red Ale.

Old fashioned pub in the middle of the chaos that is Wind Street. Olde worlde inside with bare…read morebrick and oak beam decor with large roaring fires, big chairs, choice of newspapers to read etc. Has a big selection of wines to choose from (30 plus easily) and a good selection of main meals, lunches & snacks that are competetively priced. Beer prices are reasonable too. From the outside the place looks quite small but inside it is very long & narrow plus subtely lit. Have live music there ocassionally although most of the time you have soft jazz and easy listening music piped through the speakers. Staff on the whole are friendly & helpful although the service can be a little slow. On the whole a nice place to chill ou away from the bustle of the city centre.

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.

As with most pubs frequented by students in Swansea the drinks are cheap and served by young trendy surfy/skater types. The pub plays host to a variety of live music nights and the introduction of the smoking ban this year fuelled the addition of a covered outdoor area which used to be just picnic benches but is now quite a lovely decked fairy-lit alcove. The Tav' also boasts a bit of history as it is reported to be one of the drinking dens of Wales' most famous poet and alcoholic, Dylan Thomas. This fact is marked by the Dylan Thomas Snug within the pub.

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.

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.
