Swansea vs Ulster

Post by thelowerthebetter »

So I am off to Swansea this weekend for the match and I was wondering if there were any recommendations on places to eat and drink :stout: on the City center or out by the stadium?

Thanks in advance! :fleg:

Drink a lot!!
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Oh steak! Excellent! Cheers for that.

I have a feeling that there may be a few drinks taken #WhenInRome

Depends what your after tbh.

Wind Street, is the main drag with all the usual chains eg yates,walkabout,wetherspoons.

Jack Murphys is the irish bar on wind st and is really good, there's also Adelphi for the over 30's


If you want something a bit less hectic, try the uplands bit posher and a lot more expensive.

Most of the pubs do a the usual £5.00 stuff but la prilla and the brassiere are nicer although they do get very busy.

On match day there are a few bars basically next to the stadium, Frankie and bennys, harvester and theres bars under the concourse.

With it being black Friday and the last sat before xmas, town will be bouncing you'll have a blast and youll have no problem wearing your jersey in and around town.


Hope you have a top weekend but the result goes our way :stout: :stout:

No probs, you staying in city centre? you can pretty much walk everywhere, the stadium is 10 minute taxi ride away and there are a few cab ranks in town and one by the train station.

Yeah we are staying in the city center, think there are three buses that go from pretty much outside the hotel to the stadium so we shouldn't have a problem

Have we a team to put out? Probably no change in backline. Maybe Reidy might come into the backrow.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
