The pub that's been named the best in Swansea

A popular city pub has been voted the best in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. The Pub of the Year accolade is handed out every 12 months by Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

And the latest award has gone to the No Sign Bar in Wind Street, for its selection of real ale and cider. A spokesperson for the pub, which has also won the award in previous years, took to social media to thank people for voting for them. They said: "It is an honour to announce that No Sign Wine Bar has been awarded Swansea Campaign for Real Ale Pub Of The Year for 2022. We pride ourselves on offering only the best cask conditioned real ale and cider, and we would like to thank everyone at CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale for voting for us," the post read.

The pub serves beer and cider from breweries in Wales and the UK, including Gower Brewery Co., Tenby Brewing Co., Gwynt Y Drdraig Welsh Cider, Wye Valley Brewery and Bristol Beer Factory. No Sign Wine Bar has been established since 1690 and has the narrowest frontage of any bar in the area which hides a large interior with four different bars inside.

The winner has been announced ahead of Swansea Bay Beer and Cider Festival which will return to the Brangwyn Hall on August 31 following a three-year hiatus. There will be more than 100 beers and more than 50 ciders to try, including a large selection of Welsh bitters, golden and blonde ales, pale ales, milds, porters and stouts and speciality beers. There will also be on-stage entertainment across all three days. Admission is £7 for non CAMRA members and £5 for CAMRA members.
