Downies Vaults is a long-standing pub located towards the upper end of Aberystwyth, near the castle. It presents a dual character, being a quiet, traditional pub during off-peak hours and a bustling, energetic venue, particularly popular with students, during evenings and on society nights. The pub is known for its affordable prices, especially on vodka, and its iconic jukebox, which frequently plays Robbie Williams' 'Angels'. While the facilities are basic, the pub's atmosphere and value make it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Downies Vaults is best suited for students, young adults, and those seeking a lively, affordable pub experience. It's a great spot for groups and those looking for a pre-club drink.

Weekends are the busiest, particularly Friday and Saturday nights. Weekdays offer a more relaxed atmosphere. Late evening (11 pm onwards) for a lively atmosphere, or mid-week for a quieter experience.
