The Swimmer

Located just off Holloway Road, The Swimmer is your typical friendly local boozer and one of the best drinking dens in the surrounding area. Found in a beautifully old building, the space is warm and inviting with chandeliers, a fireplace and a grand mirror that all evoke a bygone era. A great spot during the summer, it's beer garden is one of its best features. 

Offering an extensive range of drinks, especially in terms of beer, expect such choices as Fruli strawberry beer, Litovel lager, Fullers Honeydew organic beer and Champion ale whilst also boasting an impressive wine list, that serves as the perfect accompaniment to any meal.

With popular Monday quiz nights and a jukebox to add to the ambience, its popularity is understandable and is truly one of the area's most underrated spots.
