The Black Swan in Rugby

Ah, The Black Swan – it's one of those pubs that really knows how to get the party going, isn't it? From what I've gathered, it's got this infectious energy with karaoke on Thursdays and DJs spinning tunes every Friday and Saturday, plus special sessions for ska, reggae, Motown, and soul – you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good time. The staff are dead lovely, always up for a chat, and there's a nice variety of beers to choose from, making it easy to settle in for the evening. That outdoor seating area's a real treat too, especially when the weather's on your side. On the flip side, though, the prices do sting a bit; you might find yourself thinking twice about splashing out on rounds, like those Jaeger bombs that one person mentioned as being a tad steep. And it's evolved from its old-school roots, so if you're yearning for a quiet, traditional boozer, it could feel a smidge more modern than expected. All in all, it's a solid choice for a fun outing, as long as you're up for the vibe and budget accordingly – I'd say give it a go if you're in Rugby!
