Great Pubs in Swindon

The pubs are open again, and we couldn’t be happier, but after 18 months of restrictions, you might be wondering what places to visit now. Here are some of the best pubs in Swindon that will fit any motive.

Games

Spending an evening with a group of friends enjoying board games, food, and drink is a brilliant way of catching up with people you might not have seen enough of during the pandemic. If you are looking for a relaxed environment with a selection of pub games and board games, then consider The Bayberry. A local board game group meets here every Monday from 19.00 to 22.30, so whether you are looking to play with old friends or meet new people, this is a brilliant option.

A wide range of games are offered at The Bayberry, so there is something for all tastes. If you plan to win at all costs, consider the scrabble cheat website Scrabble Solver, which can guarantee you hit the highest scoring words when out with your friends.

Football

With the Euros in full swing, you might be wondering where the best place to watch football, or other sports is. If this is what you’re looking for, then The Royal Oak is probably your best bet. The Royal Oak shows live sports from BT and Sky as well as the major international competitions. This is not what you might immediately think of when a sports bar is mentioned, as it has a refined and relaxed atmosphere.

Food & Drink If excellent food and tasty beers are what you’re searching for, then look no further than The Tuppenny in Old Town. This establishment has built a reputation in the city due to its range of craft beers and ciders. The drinks menu changes regularly, so you can expect to try something new each time you visit.

This pub shines in the food department as well. The Tuppenny has partnered with a local butcher to offer a pop-up menu celebrating all that is pork. So whether you are simply stopping through for a quick pint or a memorable meal, the Tuppenny is not to be missed.

Beer Garden

Drinking outside in the sun is a favoured British pastime, and in an era of social distancing, it is more popular than ever. Some great beer gardens are scattered around Swindon, so you will likely find somewhere that fits the bill regardless of how busy it is. However, one of the best options in the city has to be The Clifton on Clifton Street. The establishment put a lot of effort into creating an idyllic outdoor seating area during the pandemic, and there are few better places to go and enjoy a selection of craft ales with your friends. As we all know, the British summertime is notoriously fickle, so the addition of marquees is brilliant for those days when the elements are working against you.

And Many More

Overall, there is a fantastic range of establishments across the city that are sure to meet the needs of anyone looking to get out in the post-covid world. The pubs listed above are some favourites in Swindon, so consider them for your next night out on the town.
