The Queens Tap, Swindon

Located dead opposite the station this pub was handy for a quick drink before leaving Swindon. Seemed like it was a rugby sort of pub. Drinks were fairly cheap compared to others in Swindon. TVs showing sports and a pool table was present. Not bad for a quick stop.

The Queen's Tap is convenient for that final drink before catching a train home. It is on a street corner across the street from the station. After completing track and trace formalities, we were disappointed with the real ale selection, which comprised of only Tribute. So, we ended up with sambucas to round off the day. There is a central bar, plenty of TVs and a few other rowdy customers (I'm not sure whether or not we were rowdy at this stage). However, with its convenient location, I couldn't help but think that this place really isn't realising its full potential.

Old pub opposite the station. All in one knocked-through room with a central bar - a pool table to one side and a seating area to the other. Live music is featured. At the rear there is a little garden. There seemed to be up to 5 ales on offer, including some good local ones. Pleasant enough.
