The Queens Hotel in Swansea

Love this authentic pub and the nostalgic photos on the walls.Often pop in for a drink but today had Sunday lunch and it was supe! Choice of three meats and four desserts.The meal was excellent with plenty of vegetables and top up gravy.My dessert of bread and butter pudding was superb.Lastly friendly prompt service and two two course meals plus four drinks came to£38.We will be back

One of the best 'home made' steak and ale pies ever! Lots of fresh veg and all for less than £8! Got to be one of the best places to eat in Swansea - you may need to book, we had the last seats at lunchtime...

It is always a pleasure to visit the Queens . Great atmosphere and great home made food which is reasonably priced with a varied menu selection.

Met here today to arrange a railway trip this coming weekend. Met some old friends. First visit ever to this pub. A real pub, real ale, good welcome. A prober Britt pub.

Excellent, highly recommend good accommodation, excellent meal friendly staff, with stay again,and all reasonable prices

Amazing food and service.will definitely be coming back soon and I can recommend this place100%be back next Sunday

Beautiful turkey dinner and fabulous atmosphere thanks to the staff they couldn't do enough for us amazing place

Our first visit back here after Covid and we were so relieved that The Queens is still the same great traditional British pub. A dying breed with the growth of the boring chain pubs The drinks are reasonably priced . Great location and atmosphere. The food is fantastic reasonably priced , home cooked , a fair portion, served hot and with a varied menu . We recommend the chicken curry and the roast pork meal! If you want a sanitised , standardised expensive bar The Queen’s is not the place to go, but if you want good quality ale , value for money and the experience of a real pub , the Queen’s is the place to visit. We’ll be back👏👏

Cannot stress how much to AVOID this absolutely awful establishment. One star is even too generous. Horrendous experience avoid at all costs

Booked last minute for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed thoroughly enjoyed and the staff are so friendly would definitely come back

Drinks are cheap but the place is very run down. old fashioned, dirty and would not recommend. sunday dinner is absolutely horrendous. bistro gravy being used and taste like puddle water. nothing nice about the dinner at all at would 100% never return.

Whether it be for Sunday lunch or weekday pub grub, this warm traditional pub offers great value food served by friendly helpful staff. I've reluctantly held back reviewing this pub for fear that it gets too well known and we can't book a table for our next visit.

Sunday lunch in The Queens was tremendous! Hot plate with a very generous amount of beef and roast potatoes and gravy and Yorkshire. Served with large tureens of peas and carrots and cabbage. Hot; delicious and large portions. Really excellent value. Will definitely be back! 5 stars all round for this very traditional pub, friendly atmosphere.

Must say what a great atmosphere and friendly staff,food is absolutely stunning if your looking for a Sunday lunch at pub full of History you must go to the Queens the food is awesome and the price is so reasonable and so tasty 👌👌👌

This is a fantastic traditional pub which is quite rare nowadays. We visit here quite often and it just has a great atmosphere anytime you come in here. Real ale is top quality. This is how British pubs used to be and should still be. It doesn’t matter if your local or a visitor .. always a good conversation to be had

Not good for tourists. All tables booked out to the natives, not allowing any walk-in service. Beer was ok, atmosphere and service was cold and frosty

Visited the Queens Hotel for Sunday lunch recently & we weren't disappointed. I was accompanied by my daughter & young granddaughter. We were made to feel welcome straight away by Colin the waiter. The service was excellent & we didn't have to wait long for our meal. It was delicious a proper old-fashioned Sunday roast with vegetables served separately & extra gravy on the side. The desserts were also delicious & the meal was reasonably priced. Donna the chef came to our table to make sure everything was satisfactory with our meal. I was amazed she had the time to ask us as it was very busy. A very nice gesture from a very pleasant lady. My young granddaughter was made to feel welcome & had a little treat after her meal courtesy of the chef. My family & I will definitely be returning.

Been going for Sunday lunch at queens for a while , food outstanding staff amazing , can’t recoment enough top value for money and a relaxed friendly pub that can’t do enough for you , already booked a table of 8 for Mothering Sunday see you all soon Lisa and the gang

Just had Sunday lunch,absolutely beautiful.all home made,definitely be back here booked for mothers day very friendly staff

We visited this pub for a birthday lunch. The lunch was like homemade. Lots of lovely vegetables. We all enjoyed the whole afternoon. A very friendly welcoming afternoon.

We visited on the recommendation of a friend of ours just before the Covid lockdown.Clearly frequented by a loyal and regular clientele, I was taken with the down to earth feel.The food choice was excellent. Proper home-made and good old-fashioned pub grub did the job nicely as we were only calling in for lunch and a cheeky pint.Will definitely return when next down in the Swansea Maritime Quarter.

Go here most weeks for Sunday lunch. Excellent food, good service, reasonable prices in lovely traditional pub.

Depending on taste this is either a fantastic pub or awful. The premises reminded me of the Rovers Return circa 1960. I hadn’t been anywhere like it in the last 40 years. The atmosphere was good and it was friendly, but the decor is a blast from the past, right down to the Christmas decorations hanging from the ceiling.

We were told about this pub by a local person. So glad we found it.The food is all home cooked and amazing value for money. Beer was good and all drinks were very reasonably priced. The food was hot and delicious. There were 4 of us and we all really enjoyed it. Well worth a visit! A proper good old fashioned pub. Just like pubs used to be. Not enough of them left!

Such good home cooked food. Highly recommend. It's good to visit a local, traditional pub with no themes or outrageous prices. Good location too. Swansea marina down the road and town 5 minutes away. You may need to book for the excellent Sunday roasts.

One of the best and last true proper pubs left in Swansea, great beer, great food and great atmosphere, DONT miss drinking here if your visiting!

During my visit on Saturday 6th of July, at the end of the night I went to the toilet before leaving and fell and hit my head. As I’d cut my head I couldn’t leave straight away, a female member of staff who I unfortunately do not know the name of came to help me and stayed with me throughout for over an hour even though the venue had closed. She did not make any fuss at all. I’m extremely grateful for the treatment I received and they went above and beyond to walk me up to St John’s ambulance just off Wind St. I’d like to thank both members of staff who helped me that evening and I highly recommend the venue as before the incident I had a really good evening!

7 of us had sunday lunch and it was fantastic. Top marks for the food, beer and wine and special mention for the young man behind the bar, our waitress and her assistant. I wish the pub was in our town, it would save the drive then !!!!!

This is really a great old boozer and atmosphere is great and drinks are well priced. Staff are very efficient

We hand lunch there this week, good menu and very good prices, as always a good selection of beers on tap, staff were helpful and friendly. This is a really good traditional pub and well worth a visit, I just wish we had a pub like this in our village.

Probably the best pub in Swansea.Excellent beer with a good choice of draught beers with a welcoming atmosphere

Warm and friendly. Lovely young Man behind the bar. Locals really nice. Great selection of spirits. Lovely outside area. Must try the food as it has excellent reviews.

I had booked a table but arrived earlier than expected but the staff were kind enough to bring our booking forward. We had an excellent meal of succulent beef with all the trommings plus dishes of freshly cooked potatoes, vegetables and a gravy boat for us to help ourselves. Everything was delicious.

great place very welcoming both from staff and customers. We felt like we were locals and enjoyed our visit

Just come back from Sunday Lunch at the Queens hotel on the Marina.

Great choice of real Ales and very well kept - a pub popular with locals and has many photographs of Swansea Dock in its hayday

We have been here on many occasions however this time we noticed a drop in standards whilst the real ales were fine there a very limited selection of soft drinks, also the food was poor ..the sausages in the baps were clearly left over from the day before and just reheated as they were dry on hard..the basket of chips contained both cold and hot chips..... don't think we will be back in hurry.....

What a gem Visited Sunday for lunch with my Wife and adult son What a meal my wife had the lamb dinner whilst my son and I had the beef Table Service meat roast potatoes and Yorkshire they then brought the veg carrots, potatoes cabbage swede and peas big tureens loaded over the top plates and food piping hot enough for the three of us to have seconds and a large jug of hot gravy. Cooked to perfection and well presented Have no difficulty in recommending this pub The price was great Just over £17.00 for the three meals Drinks were also quite reasonable pub with character lots of shipping photos of Swansea .Staff very helpful Well Done All

The Queens is a local traditional pub with fabulous home cooked food with the most amazing prices you will ever see. I had a steak and ale pie dinner which included potatoes, cabbage, peas, carrots and swede all for £5.25 it was absolutely delicious. I love the photographs around the walls the place has lots of history and is very interesting. What is nice about the place is there are a few sheltered housing complexes around the vicinity and the staff will prepare and deliver meals to some of the old folk. It is a wonderful place and looks after its regulars. The kitchen only opens for lunch.

We love the queens. Great home made food good value and great surroundings pictures of bygone years. A real Swansea welcome. Have a walk on Swansea beach. Go to the mission Gallery enjoy statues of Dylan Thomas and captain cap then relax in the Queens

A group of us agreed to meet at the Queens pending eating out. I admit that I was surprised the Queens was suggested when I arrived. The inside looks tired and the staff seemed to enjoy talking to regulars whilst other customers waited for service. However, service was with a smile and the beer was excellent. I enjoy real ale and the beers on offer were a surprise and very well kept. If I fancied another night out to enjoy good beer with friends I would give the Queens another visit. Would I take the good lady?, probably not.

The Queens sets a standard that is hard for others to follow. Excellent food and even better staff. I'm disabled (MND) and can't believe the welcome I receive every Friday lunchtime. Well done Queens.

Beer - Good. Our party drank Theakston’s Old Peculiar, Theakston’s Best and the guest ale. All were of fine quality and clean pumps. Keg beers and lagers also available.

Great little pub with lots of character can usually find a live band playing and everyone having a good time

Excellent service and home cooked variety of meals at lunchtime. Gets very full of customers - mostly drinkers but has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Outside tables available.

just returned from Sunday lunch.3 of us had the lamb dinner and pineapple upside down cake for desert.Really nice and good value.We will return soon.

Full of characters and very welcoming. A great choice of beer with excellent service. There are some really nice armchairs as you go in to the pub - usually full!

Quite possibly the most friendly pub I have every visited. The landlord, staff, beer and regulars were truly amazing. The Queens Hotel is a proper pub and one of the best.

It's years since I'd been in The Queens and I was pleased to see it had hardly changed. We popped in on the off chance looking for lunch as there was a long queue at our usual favourite Marina cafe. A pleasant surprise, with a good range of home-cooked food at very reasonable prices. Friendly service and decent beer too. This would be a great pub to have as your local.

My last review ended with if only they allowed dogs. Well they do. Yippee! Allowed in once food stops. The food is great value and really tasty, proper Welsh cooking. The cawl is delicious. The staff are really friendly especially the owner and the two guys who run it. Overall a smashing pub.

I have been drinking at the Queens Hotel for the past six years when I first moved to the marina its a friendly place where I call home full of great people and the staff are very friendly and good beer.

lovely traditional pub with excellant food at lunch time don t know if they do evening food but what we had at lunch time was curry with half & half they also have a good selection

Virtually an unspoiled pub since the day Dylan Thomas visited. For history buffs the walls are thick with memorabilia of the busy shipping days from sailing ships to post war.

Very reasonable food and drinks, nice and cosy inside! Will be visiting again. Bar staff were friendly.

Great pub in the way a pub should be. Busy, friendly, chatty people and staff. Good choice of drinks and...

We just keep going back. This is a real pub. Real beer. Real food. Nothing pretentious here. No plastic menus...

Called in on way to a Thai restaurant in SA1. Brought back memories of old school pubs. Brilliant ale selection...

The Queens Hotel is the best pub in Swansea! Traditional, authentic pub with great beer, live music, fast and efficient...

The Queens is a good old fashioned pub where there are plenty of drinks to choose from, plenty of staff...

No había sido hasta Queens durante unos años y cuando mi cuñado sugirió que llamar por una pinta y algo de comida, no sabía lo que era una buena llamada! Llegamos allí a las 11. 40 de la mañana y el bar estaba prácticamente vacío. A mediodía estaba medio lleno, así que decidimos pedir comida.

Called here on way to early evening football match. We were staying across the bridge at the Premier Inn.Friendly staff and locals.The people who were eating ( and friends who ate there later 0 spoke very highly of the food. Old fashion decor very in keepnig with Waterfront situation.Beer very good.

I visit Swansea annually and at last I've found a decent pub that sells decent beer, has a nice atmosphere. The beer is well kept, the pub has nice seating and is a proper local, with friendly regulars willing to chat

Excellent food, good old fashioned pub nice atmosphere. Could find any reason to find fault, our third visit and most enjoyable,

There is an good, old fashioned atmosphere about the Queens but I think it could do with a deep clean. The tables could do with wiping more regularly especially round the edges. The toilets could also do with being looked at. Still the prices for wine are cheap even if the selection is not great. Sometimes it can be a bit noisy later in the evening but OK for a quick drink.

Sooo pleased this lovely pub is continuing to serve such amazing Sunday roasts. We popped in on the off chance and didn't mind waiting as the pub has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and were extremely pleased when they were able to accommodate to eat.Meat cooked to perfection (lamb and beef), with a good selection of vegetables and potatoes. Lovely thick meaty gravy - just how we like it.Recommend booking for Sunday lunch as I like we were extremely lucky to get a table as a "walk in" as the place was packed.

Call in here regularly for drinks with friends. Great atmosphere and staff are quick to provide service.Good choice of drinks - all well served , they must have a good cellar man too . Food is tasty - I would highly recommend the Sunday Lunch ... but make sure you book.

Near the Marina and the Museum with Dylan Thomas Theatre around the corner. Like an old fashioned pub from the old days, no posers in there and good pub grub

I've been coming here for ever. Long before the redevelopment days and when it was a real dockside bar. Now the ambience maybe calmer but the atmosphere still has the unique feel of old. The food is amazing value and served with enthusiasm. Sunday Lunch is a must. Not "Fine Dining" just Very Good Dining

Great to visit this spot that Dylan Thomas himself frequented so regularly. Very comfortable, nice atmosphere and helpful staff. Excellent ale!

Firstly , I`m not one to complain , I`d rather just not go back but this is still on my mind from when we went last on Sunday 27th November . We go to the Queens about once a month on a Sunday for Sunday lunch and it`s fantastic. with Tina and the other friendly staff always smiling and very helpful.On the above date , my family had already gone in whilst I finished my cigarette outside . On entering I went straight to the bar to get a drink . There was a young girl serving and a youngish chap ( not the usual friendly guy or older women ). Now there was only a handful of customers at the bar . The guy seen me waiting as he half hartedly looked over whilst ( I kid you not ) continued to have a long winded chat for literally 5 mins ( yes 5 ) with some customer at the bar , laughing and joking. Now to the young girl - Again she clearly seen me waiting to be served as I looked into the bar with my money out and there was some woman before me . ( the only other person waiting to be served.) She served the other woman first and rightly so. She looked straight at me as I was the only other person waiting by this time . As she was getting said lady her drink , an older gentleman came to the bar next to me . I kid you not she then went straight to the guy and said " usual is it ". I said can I have a pint please when your ready to which she continued to serve this gentleman before serving me and not even saying a please , sorry or thank you . Terrible rude the two staff who I`d not like to get served by again in there - I`n fact disgusting !

Great pub with loads of atmosphere. Good selection of ales and wines. Good entertainment from the live band. Will be back.

Lovely pub to visit for a drink and the Sunday lunch is excellent. Reasonable prices on food and drink and is located away from Wind Street if you are looking to have a more relaxing night out.

This is a proper pub with a great range of beers and a wholesome cooked meals menu. Pices for beers and food are very reasonable and they also have live music on several nights a week.

I bloomin love this place. I went in a stranger for a beer and had a great night, Its unique and so friendly, Best fun with my clothes on, proper trad pub, locals will have you laughing and chatting all night. GO you will love it..

Called in for dinner glad I did fresh very tasty dinner a great range of items of fresh meals on the menu

We really like the Queens, the lunchtime food is excellent and very good value.There are a range of meals each day all freshly cooked and very tasty.There are also a range of beers and lagers to suit all tastes and priced quite reasonably.The atmosphere in the pub is great. This had to be one of the best pubs in and around Swansea.i would certainly recommend it.

Great pub atmosphere, Gary the landlord is very welcoming. Good choice of beers and the food is is excellent value.

Nothing glam about this pub-very busy as it was a Friday night.Old fashioned inside but a certain charm. Everyone seemed to be enjoying and it looks like this may be place that is frequented by regulars. We enjoyed but only stayed for one drink as we were eating -will give it a try again.

Excellent Welsh pub, retaining its "traditional pub" charm in every way. Pub landlord Gary is always on hand with an anecdote or sympathetic ear, I've even seen him, or his staff walk those who are worse for wear home, just because he actually cares. They have a great quiz 9pm every Sunday, fab pub, nothing like it around! Enjoy the ambience, the friendly staff and most of all the friendly, approachable landlord!

Lovely building and comfortable inside. Plenty of friendly bar staff doing a roaring trade on a busy Saturday afternoon during the Wales National Air Show weekend. Hope to try the Sunday lunch soon

great proper old school pub.Always full of locals and workers on lunch break.Great choice of home cooked meals.Curry is a treat and so is the dinner,

We were out in Swansea looking for some real ale in a pub where you can have a conversation. After walking down Wind Street and thinking no chance I asked the coppers in the street who recommended the Theakstons at the Queens. Great pub good beer and friendly locals where you can have a conversation.

Found this haven walking back from the beach past the marina. Light and airy, good real ales and a relaxing atmosphere. Fully recommended if you're in the area.

Came across this hotel while visiting the marina.It's an old building in the docks area. Good old British pub serving home cooked food. Not an extensive menu , no grill menu, but pies, cooked dinner lasagne, chilli, curry, salads and a specials board. All beautifully cooked. What really surprised me was there was nothing on the menu costing more than £4.90. I would have paid more. The place was clean and tidy. The toilets looked as if they were being refurbished as there were new tiles on the wall, but the toilets needed an upgrade too.Well worth a visit.

One of the few old fashioned pubs left.Good foods great music and friendly really great night out .Excellent bar staff and great landlord. A real local pub and puts a lot back in the community

I really like this old boozer. Older crowd and good music on a Saturday night. Plenty of friendly staff so you don't wait long to be served. It's for all ages. Great place.

We often visit this pub for a drink as it serves some great beer in a friendly relaxing atmosphere. Yesterday the three of us had lunch for the first time, we all thought the food was very good at an excellent price (all under £5.00) We will be definitely going back

If you want a good old fashioned pub with a great atmosphere, then this is the place for you. Always friendly and welcoming, the staff always have a smile and are very efficient. The food is fantastic value for money and it's a great place to drop into on a regular basis.

We have been to The Queens in the past for Sunday lunch and have been very impressed. We have been meaning to go back there for a long time. We decided to go there for a weekday lunch yesterday (16/03/16) and we weren't disappointed.They had a main menu and also some specials to choose from. I chose the Chicken Curry and my Dad had a Beef Dinner. Both meals came out swiftly and piping hot. The food was home cooked and very tasty. The food is exceptionally good value and we could see that it is a popular place to visit as it got quite busy.There was a lovely atmosphere about the place and I cannot wait to go back to try other things on the menu. All food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. It's a real gem of a place.

Typical friendly local pub, serving good food at reasonable prices, £7.95 for a 2 course Sunday Lunch. Beef, Pork, Chicken or Lamb. Lovely dessert of Fudge cake with cream or puddings with custard.

Had a nice couple of pints here. Felt like we were walking into a locals private function, but it wasn't an unfriendly atmosphere. Good beer.

Had to sit outside with the dog but the staff were helpful. Burger and chips and a hot beef baguette did the trick. Would've liked to have spent time inside but you can't have everything. Lovely traditional pub. Felt welcome.

we usually come in here once a month to meet friends, and we have never been disappointed, the food is always good and the beer excellent ... we can heartily recommend the sausage baps............

Like they use to be. Love coming to this pub whenever I am in town. Always a good atmosphere, tend to be used by the over 40s , great meeting place for a night out. Really enjoy it on Beaujolais Day and for a Christmas get together. Ideally located to venture into Wind St , Marina area or City Centre.

Went there with friends,fantastic entertainment great crowd of people all ages which is great,must mention Gary the landlord who is a very helpful friendly man also great company,please call in also the food is very good,if you love live music this place is a must will definitely be returning.

On a rainy day in August we abandoned plans for a walk on Swansea Bay's miles long promenade, and popped in to the Queens after a lunch at the nearby Morgans Hotel - another part of historic Swansea.The Queens has always been one of my favourite Swansea pubs; atmospheric, busy, friendly, with good beer and a maritime theme which just goes naturally with the setting. Thank heavens that among all the plastic places there is one traditional docklands pub left. Long may it remain.

This is an old fashioned pub with generally a good atmosphere, although not the best for food, Sunday lunch is a bit like school dinners...... Faggots are lovely though!

Been here a few times the ale here is the best you can get in the Swansea area would recommend anyone to come here and have a skin full

Large female behind bar is surly beyond belief and its clearly a locals pub . Friendly how?Food is nice though but the staff attitude make for an unpleasant atmosphere to me anyway. Reading the other comments it seems Im not alone.Parking is also a major issue

Generous portions, fresh fish especially good on a Friday. Good old fashioned home cooked food, really good value
