Lovely place, really friendly bar staff and a good pint. Ticks all the important boxes.
Massive place, over 2 rooms. Plenty of pool tables and cheap drinks. Great music and atmosphere. Friendly bar staff. Like going back to the 90's heights of brit pop.
Lovely now the upstairs has been done and open to the public. Some nice drinks avaliable here and a pool table which can be enjoyable accompanied by drinks. Reasonable pricing also.
The bar staff here are lovely! I had an eczema flare up on my hands and one of the lovely women behind the bar (I didn’t catch her name) offered me hand cream and was so sympathetic about it :)
A brilliant nightclub in Aberystwyth. Games room to the side. Great DJ on a Friday. Night is called Thank fk it's Friday, and the DJs RhythmMattic and Mickey Blue Eyes
