Downies Vaults

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.
