Surprisingly large inside, the Old Swan is a Wetherspoons that was by far the busiest pub in town during a recent Thursday crawl around the area. Entering from Queen Street, the bar counter runs up the left facing a row of high tables before lots of open plan split-level seating. Bookended by premium and standard keg products a line of eight hand pumps sit in the centre of the bar counter. The usual three suspects were available alongside Daleside’s Spring Frenzy and Lough Gill Brewery’s Andersons which seems to be doing the Spoons rounds, maybe I should have a pint next time I see it. The service was polite.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Old Swan (JD Wetherspoon)
Rather inconspicuous 'spoons, right in the middle of town but somewhat hidden away in a side street. Anyway, it's rather larger inside than it initially appears, with a slightly split-level arrangement of various seating and dining areas, plus a mezzanine. Ruddles, Doom Bar, Abbot, Old Peculier and a couple of festive ales - Portobello Ho Ho Ho and Rudgate's Evil Elf (£2.55).

A respectable Spoons, so much so that a pre-wedding gathering, suited and booted, were all congregated around the bar area on our Saturday afternoon visited. This compact Spoons has made good use of space and have managed to squeeze in a small mezzanine floor in the far left hand corner. The use of a skylight over the bar area also made good use of natural light. Eight pumps in use on our visit with a couple doubled up. We went for the Beartown Polarbear, which was decent enough.
