The Black Swan / Dirty Duck, Rugby

Not much has changed since I last visited here about 5 years ago. Inside the pub has low beams and a rustic feel, and a lot of TVs showing sport. A smallish bar area, with unfriendly service as my last visit was a long time back. A few regulars propping up the bar on my midweek visit.4 handpumps on offer, 3 of which were different flavours of Rosie's Cider, the other being Pedigree which I had and it was fine. Ok for a quick pint but I'd say there a better options round here, The Merchants being one of them.

A fairly decent pub. Its modernised out and is now an open plan place. There were 5 handpumps on the bar with a selection of localish beers on. I assume the afternoon clientele differs from the evening/weekend crew. A few tellies were showing horsey stuff. As the beer I asked for was sour the barman gave me a free selection so added points there.
