A warm welcome to all from our friendly staff. Either in our bars or in the Beer Garden, which is a real suntrap!

Park Avenue
Aberystwyth
SY23 1PG
Aberystwyth's newest pub (as opposed to bar), opened April '13. The meet-and-greet service style seems to be applied less assiduously of late, so with luck you may escape being asked "Will you be dining with us today?". The food, while centrally supplied, is serviceable, but in a town not well supplied with food pubs the bland corporate style here still represents something of a missed opportunity. The beers are believed to be dispensed under the 'Fast Cask' system. An occasional seasonal Marston's beer.

Saved from the threat of closure after being bought, against all expectation, to be run as a pub, this gem of a pub with its nationally important interior is selling real ale for the first time in some three decades. That in itself exemplifies the new life that has been brought to the place. The few physical changes have also been positive - carpet tiles removed, revealing slate floor, and excellent decorations including photo of Cemmaes Road signalbox (the pub is opposite the Beeching-closed station) and 1935 local eisteddfod poster, found in loft, which evokes a vanished but still resonant way of life. Unmissable, but obviously to be treated with respect. In the evening delicious locally made pork pies are served with pickles.

Marston's owned pub in fantastic setting in small village on the Wales Coast Path. Large airy open-plan bar and conservatory with sea views. Covered outside seating area and decking area with wooden tables and some of the best sea views from a pub in Ceredigion. Excellent quality food served from 12-9 every day (booking is advisable at busy times) ranging from posh sandwiches to a full three course meal and excellent specials. Breakfast is available for non-residents. Very small car park and limited on-street parking – it is best to park higher up in the village and walk down to the seafront at peak periods. The four en-suite rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard and have balconies with sea-views. A third beer is available at busy times. The pub may shut at 9.30pm out of season.
