Pub entertainment in South Wales

  1. A

    Park Inn

    The famous Mumbles Mile - a pub crawl through the bars between Newton Rd and Bracelet Bay - is not what it once was; most of the old pubs have succumbed to pumping house music and boisterous crowds of alcopop-fuelled teens. One place worth seeking out is the Park Inn, set a block inland from the promenade and away from the crowds. It's a friendly local serving real ale, where any music you hear will be knocked out on the pub piano.

    Ship Inn

    This is a lovely little pub with an open fire in winter and lots of memorabilia on the walls, including photos of Richard Burton filming Under Milk Wood outside (the street and nearby quay have not changed a bit).

  3. Tudor Square

    There are around two dozen pubs crammed into the area around Tudor Sq and the place can get pretty riotous on Friday and Saturday nights, with big groups of lads and lasses on pub crawls from one karaoke bar to the next.

    Farmer's Arms

    One of the most popular pubs in the town, the Farmers has real ale and Guinness on tap and a good beer garden out back. It's a pleasant place to watch the sun go down on a summer's evening.

    Buccaneer Inn

    The Buccaneer is a rugby pub, with a loud, up-for-it crowd on match weekends, but also has the best beer garden in town, and serves excellent pub grub.

    Farmer's Arms

    Even though St Davids is a bit of a tourist trap, you'd be hard-pressed finding a more authentic country pub. There's real ale and Guinness on tap and it's the place to be when the rugby's playing. The beer garden out back is a pleasant place to watch the sun go down on a summer's evening.
