New Lloyds Bar (used to be Edwards)

[stfctownenda]

Being how massive tomorrows game is I thought I would take time out to talk about my second love booze (pubs, bars etc).

That new Lloyds bar opens a week Sunday on 13th May with the size of the building it has the potential to be do really well and give town centre an alternative instead of thousands of people packing into walkabout.

Main reason Edwards didn't work out as the staff were shit and not interested.  Remembered countless times entering there with mates and us being the only ones in there and the staff looking pissed off that they had to do some work.

On my one visit to a Lloyds bar in London it was ace and had a quality time.  With wetherspoons prices as well its an absolute result, bring it on I'm looking forward to frequenting this new boozer    could be a good pub before town games as well

i went to a llyods in cardiff, hate weatherspoons apart from the prices as all their venues are the same dirt-ridden shitholes full of old pikeys and chavs

It has wetherspoons prices? Ace!!!

Lloyds bars are good, so i do hope it provides a good alternative and plays some decent music. A new place in swindon was much needed. Just hope it dont end up pikey ville.

I don't think Lloyds have the same prices as weatherspoons? Still don't think it will do well. Does O'Neills get busy? Whats was that pub before edwards?

I tend to do weatherspoons on away days - cheap lunch the £2.10 fry up on sat went down well, decentish draught ale, and reasonably safe and near the railway stations.  Don't normally touch them outside of then though.

They also need to repalce Embargo with something. Looks awful not in use.

It is owned by weatherspoons and if you look at the website http://www.lloydsno1.co.uk/ the food menu has the same prices.  As already said with good music and not too many pikeys could be quality.  Only one I have ever been in down in London didn't have your typical wetherspoons crowd so fairly positive should be a good place to go

Lloyds plays music unlike the other wetherspoons pubs though.

I agree about embargo though, im glad it got closed though!

We just need a place with reasonably priced drinks, decent music and dont let in pikey chavs.

Sadly the location means it will probably be full of chavs ... I tend to stick to old town - The Spot

Embargo is opening as "Rush"  I think, although rumours that it will be a Welsh 1980's striker them bar have been denied.

Was that when we stayed at Wills and i came along? That was really good in there and quality music.

The Spot is a fucking disgrace.

Lloyds could hopefully be somewhere decentish to go down in Little Beirut. I think it's going to be called the Sir Daniel (or something) which is an old pub name that goes back in Swindon for decades

Spot is full of arrogant cunts tho you look around and they are all dancing as if they want to be in a music video.  I like Old Town to go out drinking through the night but often like to head to Town as theres not normally any place to finish in old town, unless you like Studio  :shock:

Fatters talking sense shocker!!!

In town I only go to Brunel on a friday in the amphi for the indie night, the rest of the centre is rubbish.  I'd rather have a few quiet ones in Old Town, alas the halcyon mission days are behind us, so a couple of quiet pints is about it, even the Spot is a bit rubbish - overpriced, over hyped and full of twats in stupid clothes with silly haricuts poncing about thinking they're larging it in hoxton or soho.

Yes it is Chris, was easily the best place we went that night.  Good tunes, fit women and cheap drink its like heaven
