Ship & Castle
1 High Street, Aberystwyth SY23 1JG
This real ale flagship offers eclectically-sourced and rapidly-changing microbrewery guests, real cider and perry from Gwynt y Ddraig, one or two craft keg beers, a few interesting bottles (eg Wild Beer, Pollys) and even some excellent canned beer. Taste the range with a "five pump platter" of five third-pint measures. Well-considered décor reflects the pub's name and history. Midweek beer festivals spring and autumn offer extended choice. A popular venue to watch Six Nations rugby - Wales enthusiastically and knowledgeably supported but all made most welcome.
Castle Hotel
South Road, Aberystwyth SY23 1JW
Impressive brick and terracotta building built 1910 for the local Roberts brewery, but radically opened up inside to give single-room interior. Large etched windows indicating the original usage of the different pub areas such as Luncheon Room. Two iron pillars dominate the bar, now used as a support for the lights. Two TVs at either end of this airy pub.
Vale of Rheidol
Terrace Road, Aberystwyth SY23 1NY
This historic pub was originally called "The Terminus" and was situated close to the railway when it first arrived in Aberystwyth in 1863. It can still be found opposite Aberystwyth's more modern station and was renamed 'Vale of Rheidol" in the 1960's, which refers to the local steam train service. The pub itself has changed little since and still comprises of a single long room with a bar running almost the half the length. It has been recently refurbished in 2019 from top to bottom with all facilities brought up to-date, and care has been taken to preserve the pub's history and cosy interior. Although no food is served, plans are in place to link up with a local businesses to provide bar snacks.
Starling Cloud
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.
Glengower Hotel
3 Victoria Terrace, Aberystwyth SY23 2DH
Seafront pub with excellent coastal views offers outside seating on its suntrap front terrace. Inside are a light, airy front bar, quieter dining area, and large back room with pool and electronic games. Three guest beers, often from Welsh micros. Real cider available on draught and in the fridge. Good-value food served till 9pm Mon-Sat, 6pm Sun. Dogs very welcome (treats available). Hotel closes for a fortnight Christmas / New Year. Recently added cider bar with five hand pumps. Bae Ceredigion Community Pub of the Year 2016
White Horse
Upper Portland Street, Aberystwyth SY23 2DT
Reverted February 2015 to its original name. A Wetherspoons look-a-like with decor little altered from its Varsity days, though there looks to be more seating upstairs. Some good external tilework, but sadly the fine etched window was smashed some years ago by a vandal and replaced by an inferior embossed copy - a well-meaning gesture on the part of the then owners, but a poor exchange nonetheless. Good value food with a wide range of choices and themes throughout the week.

46 Bridge Street, Aberystwyth SY23 1QB
Recently opened in the former Aberystwyth RAFA club. Popular with students and late night drinkers. The main room has an Art-Deco style with Andy Warhol style imagery.

At the front of the building is relaxed area with comfy armchairs and wooden tables, and at the rear a number of booth-like high tables.

A large screen behind the bar lists the beers on offer.
