Downies is the best place ever. It is timeless in more ways than one. The prices and atmosphere of course!!The owner, Fred, is also a legend.Aberystwyth wouldn’t be the same without Downies!

The drinks are cheap, and the songs that you choose from the jukebox are slow to play but worth it in the end. The staff were quick there and overall a good place to be at. Well worth it!!
Sam Hopkins
The liveliest and cheapest bar for students, always packed on a student night with great atmosphere.
Gryffinguin

Im not sure if under refurb but stopped in for drink Saturday night. Quick service, drinks were fine we just found the pub bare, and lacked atmosphere.
Donna Lloyd
I love this place, so cheap and always good fun!!!
Inadequate training of staff, me and friends all over charged after told the correct price for drinks as their employee didn't know how to put them through the till, then unable to process a refund as non of the staff knew how to. Needs sorting don't recommend if your a student and want cheap drinks
House Of Tides
Been going here for a decade, some changes have been warmly welcome, some have been harder to come to terms with, but in the end that's a part of getting older. This is the cheapest bar in Aberystwyth and only Angel's jukebox can contend. Just don't go on some kind of national holiday because you won't even have room to breathe. This spot shines on the nights when it's mid-busy. The jukebox leans towards metal on the busier nights but it does tend towards poppy metal, pop-punk style. Nobody is unwelcome, this is a fantastic spot and everyone should come here if they want to really, truly let loose and not think too hard. Not a club, not a pub... just Downies.If you are that person that makes a joke about Downs on the way in you will get CLAPPED. I clapped my best mate 8 years ago for that joke.Enjoy.

Proper old style bar. Great quad rums and Double Gordon's pink G&T.
Best dive pub in Aber.
