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.

White Horse

Upper Portland Street, Aberystwyth SY23 2DT

Disabled Access

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.

The walls are decorated with old agricultural implements. Two Brains Craft Cask beers are very rarely available on one side of the bar but quality varies based on popularity.
