The Swan Inn, St. Asaph

The Swan was our last of 3 pubs in the city of St Asaph. Not opening until 4pm, we saved this one until last. The drinking environment is a lot more relaxed than the other pubs in town. You are allowed inside and few of the Covid formalities are followed. There is also a much more noticeable younger crowd here too and shortly after the doors opening, it had started to fill up quickly. Reasonably loud music was emanating from a jukebox, the Olympics were on the TV and a pool table to the rear right-hand side of the bar were all quickly in use. All handpulls have currently been removed. So, the choice was keg only - Guinness, Strongbow Dark Fruit, Inch's, Old Mout Cherries & Berries, Heineken, Birra Moretti, John Smith's & Fosters. Although the young barmaid did state that they were hoping to get real ale back on again soon. Disappointing pub in a very disappointing city.

Average pub with no strong real ales on offer.
