The Bay
A bit scruffy but still consistently popular due to cheapness! Main pub runs the the entire length of the building, and there's a decent dancefloor with all the usual mainstream music.
Normally open late till at least 1am or 2am and usually packed on Fridays and Saturdays. Especially popular with young locals and students, but attracts all sorts - a bit more 'alternative' than Pier Pressure or Why Not.

The place you go to when you know it's time to go home. Range of music
means no-one sits in the corner in a mood. Cannot believe the majority of
the upstairs is now closed because of student complaining!

"Also über haunted...much fun if you have to stay after hours to clean up!" - Bay Staff [Mar 2008]
"Best place ever. End of." - Joshua Harcastle [Mar 2008]
"Sticky floors, dodgy toilets, yet you always have a good time. Dancefloor is always entertaining, but if you don't like that, there's plenty of little rooms to chill in. The basement has some really good music in at times, with a good atmosphere." - Bean [Feb 2008]
"Complete dive, stinks, can't go in without a scruffy, smelly person starting a fight with you, takes a while to get a drink. OK if in a big group." - Anon [Feb 2008]
"SO many good memories of this place - including handstands, bad dancing to cheesy alt classics, random snogs with people you'd normally (soberly) cross the street to avoid, the onslaught of probably the cheapest drinks in town, and at least one 'tactical vomiting session' per person." - Sam, Kahla and Brian the Beaver (find us there every Saturday) [Sep 2007]
"Best pub in Aber bar none. Good music, honest staff (if a little crazy...), (very) cheap and cheerful. Only wish it had more seating." - Gamezy [Jul 2007]
"I resent being called rude - we're only rude to customers who don't know how to conduct themselves in a social environment. Besides, we don't have time to sit and chat when we have 300 people trying to buy drinks at the same time. Maybe if the customers were a bit more polite and stopped waving money in our faces and abusing us for not serving them first even though they've done nothing to warrant being served before everyone else, maybe then - and just maybe - we wouldn't be so rude." - 'The Staff' [Apr 2007]
"Amazing place to go to as a student: cheap drinks, lots of people and they play a wide range of music, which means a very diverse crowd. The only problem is the staff are really rude, and it gets too hot in there. However, though it's a dump I love it!" - Anon [Apr 2007]
