About

The Swan Taphouse is an iconic riverside venue tucked into an 18th‑century malt house on the banks of the River Severn. With its historic brick walls, exposed timber beams and quirky, individually‑decorated rooms, it offers a unique blend of heritage charm and modern comfort. Diners can enjoy a hearty selection of American pit‑barbecue and classic British dishes, all accompanied by a curated craft beer and spirits menu. By day the tasting room opens at noon and stays lively until late, with service until 9:30 pm on weekdays and 8:00 pm on Sunday. The bar also hosts regular live‑music evenings, making it a favourite spot for both locals and visitors looking for a convivial atmosphere. With free Wi‑Fi, ample on‑site parking and highchairs available, the venue accommodates families and solo travellers alike. Just a six‑minute stroll from the historic Iron Bridge, The Swan Taphouse offers stunning river views from several of its rooms – a perfect backdrop for a relaxed drink or a memorable overnight stay. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite, a hearty dinner or a night of great music, the Swan delivers a warm, welcoming experience that captures the spirit of the classic English pub while celebrating contemporary hospitality.
