About
The freshest bar in the area. Bringing something completely new to Swords, the bar incorporates eclectic decor, comic book/movie artwork on the walls, board games, classic arcade machines and cozy couches. Ditched the idea of the same typical beers and gone for the craft/world beer generation. Food includes some tasty pizza, which you can enjoy with a tasty pint or cocktail.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Pound / Attic bar is a Great spot, best pub in Swords. Easily best selection of craft beers in the area too. Best Guinness by a good stretch. Cock Tavern, Old School House offer a bang average Guinness.
Music and staff are class too, pizza on offer for grub. Plenty of seating upstairs in the Attic Bar, lively, cosy and good craic. 20somethings to 30somethings the general age cohort but suitable for all. Worth a visit if you're out and about in swords.

We really enjoy drinking in this cozy bar. Selection of IPAs is excellent and they now have wow burger available which is great given you have to order food with your beer. Staff really friendly and social distancing amongst customers well managed.

I like the cosy atmosphere of that pub with the old sofas and the board games. They have a nice selection of craft beers and the staff is friendly.

Absolutely great pub above another great pub, next door to Swords castle.
This is the type of pub Swords needed, great music, crowd and atmosphere. Very bohemian feel and vibe to the place, cool layout and loads of seating. Definitely worth checking out for a good night out with friends. Upstairs to The Pound pub, an equally as good pub, prob for an older crowd or the Guinness drinker like myself. A win win whichever you choose.
