Great local pub in a central location, with friendly staff, clientele, and old peculiar on tap - a very welcome surprise. Pints are exceedingly well priced. The interior is lovely too, with some lovely couches and armchairs to sit on, which was a relief to our party, as we'd just been on a long walk.The only thing I'd ask for was a better non-alcoholic selection - I would advise Drop Bear beer as it's produced in Swansea and is both gluten and alcohol free!

Old pub in the marina district of Swansea that's well known to locals for its distinct atmosphere and decent prices. Sadly the century old stuffed bear which was a feature is now gone following a recent refurbishment.

Lovely old pub, near the Marina. It's like stepping back to a time when pubs were proper ale houses! Food is served up to early afternoon. Great menu, home cooked and great value. We had 3 different meals and they were all a good size and very tasty. Great choice of ales, Theakstons ales on draught, excellent! Being a bit picky, but bar staff tended to see to 'regulars ' first. I would definitely recommend the Queens to anyone who wants a great pint in a lovely old pub near the Marina.

We went for Sunday lunch. Such a lovely traditional pub. Very unusual to see such a lively pub supported by the locals. The lunch must be one of the best value Sunday lunches. Great home made food and plenty of it.

Came here for drinks with friends while staying in Swansea Marina. Very traditional pub with an excellent selection of cask ales, including a couple of well-kept Theakston’s.A small bar, so gets very crowded inside, but some accommodating locals made room for us to sit down. A nice space out front for fair-weather drinking, although the latter is a rarity in Swansea!
