This was another pub that was closed for no apparent reason the last time I visited Swindon in 2019. It's in the Old Town, albeit a little off the main drags. Specialising in live music, it appears to be a firm favourite with locals and only opens in the evening.

Tribute was the solitary real ale. The bar serves 2 rooms.

Two bar old backstreet pub in a row of old stone cottages and feels happily ensconced in the late 70’s which may well be the last time anyone did internal remedial works, some of the walls were looking pretty dilapidated. Collection of postcards attached to beams. Darts. Three ales on: TT Landlord (good nick), Tribute and Doom Bar. If you’re crawling round here it’s worth a look.
