Will Larter left this review about Three Swans

Lively back street local with six hand pumps, five with beers on (see photo - a bit skewiff because of bar blockers). My half of White Rat was very good (£3.80/pint) but no one else out of 20+ people was drinking it - the lad behind the bar told me there had been a few in earlier, and quite likely there'll be a few in later, given the price and condition of the beer. Probably the best pub in Selby for cask beer.

A long pub where the original front two rooms have been knocked through to give a further corridor like room stretching backwards. The counter runs down the side and is home to six pulls, sadly the first I tried was a barrel end and cloudy; it was changed without question. Two beers were off so proof again of less is more. Very nicely decorated and with proper bench seats and Victorian stuff, shame about the music. Pool table at the far end next to toilets. Weekly live music.

A handsome pub located between the river and the Abbey, the Three Swans has various posters in the windows advertising various of their ale offers.
Sadly, once inside four of the six handpumps had clips reversed with just the two offering the house beer, Acorn Three Swans, at a low price of £2 a pint if I recall correctly, and Bosun's Neptune. The surly barmaid poured us a half of the latter which was flabby at best and barely drinkable.
Selby isn't overly endowed with decent ale houses and this is not one of them.
