Welcome to The Swan, Burnley.

Welcome to The Swan, a community pub that welcomes all based in the heart of Burnley town centre!

Dating from the early 1800’s, The Swan is one of Burnley’s oldest drinking venues. In its previous years the pub was once Burnley’s town jail, and the old cells can still be seen in our men’s toilets!

Here at The Swan we’ve got a great selection of cask ales, lagers, wines, and spirits to suit a variety of tastes. We show regular TV sport, karaoke nights and DJs. Located in Burnley town centre, we are just a short 10-minute walk to Turf Moor, making us the perfect location for some pre-match drinks.

So, whether you are popping in for a pre-match pint with friends or for a dance with our resident DJs on a Saturday night, we look forward to welcoming you to The Swan.

Craig and the team.

Our Beers

The Shift

Above the pub we have The Shift Café which provides a special and unique space for all ages and like-minded people to get creative.

We have a drumkit, keyboard, various guitars, and we also offer regular karaoke. Many people over time have improved artistically,  whether it’s musicians, singers or actual artists – some of which is displayed on the walls.

We have people from all walks of life visit us regularly whether it’s students, pensioners to veterans. We have great feedback from them as they really feel at home and enjoy the various performers or singers throughout the day or night!

If you’re not from the area we welcome all…  so feel free to pop in for a visit if you’re in Burnley!
