The Wig & Pen is a proper community local on St Helen's Road in the heart of Swansea, part of the Craft Union estate. It's a friendly, well-priced pub with live sport on the screens, two pool tables, a dartboard, outdoor seating and real ale on tap. Live music is a weekend fixture, staged mainly on Saturday nights, alongside pub quizzes and other live entertainment. An intimate room (around 70 standing) firmly in the grassroots, neighbourhood-pub tradition rather than a dedicated gig venue.
