Shame.
Used to go in here a lot back in the day - when pubs were pubs.
From here to the Nelson across the road (gone), then on to the Pullman opposite the train station (gone), then the Shoulder of Mutton on the High Street (gone), then along to the Adam & Eve (gone), then maybe a sideways walk to the Cardiff Arms (gone), a quick one in The Bush (gone) before hitting Wind Street - Wind Street that is before it was tarted up in its present form.
Hardly any 'real' boozers left in Swansea. |  | | |

I was a regular at the folk club run one night a week at the White Swan in the late 70s/ early 80s. If my memory hasn't let me down the pub was popular with off-duty police at that time. | | | |

Remember it well, Dafydd.
Regular haunt of mine. Right mix of dodgy characters in there. Some good bands downstairs in the cellar as well.
The best "worst" pub was further down Wind Street - the Borough Arms, which was as rough as ar*eholes, as they say in Yorkshire.
It's now that Spanish Bodega restaurant. | | | |
