Pier
ADDRESS: Royal Pier, Marine Terrace
Aberystwyth
SY23 2AZ
(01970) 636123
Pier is the largest of Aberystwyth's night clubs and bars
Situated upstairs on Aberystwyth's pier is this nightclub and brasserie.
Enjoy great views across the bay during the day and into the evening. Later on, there's regular entertainment including the busy nightclub-style evenings on Fridays and Saturdays, with generally a slighty older crowd than can be found next door in Pier Pressure.
Pier also has a large snooker club and lounge bar
Still the largest of Aberystwyth's night clubs and bars, Pier Pressure makes no pretence of being sophisticated or cutting-edge. Primarily playing mainstream pop and dance music, its large dancefloor is popular with both students and younger locals. Open from about 10pm till at least 2.30am, sometimes later.
Also, Inn on the Pier is the county's only 24 hour pub.

Varsity Aberystwyth
Upper Portland Street
Aberystwyth
SY23 2DT
(01970) 615234
Part of the national chain, Varsity has established itself as an unmistakably student-centred bar that's gone from strength-to-strength. It’s one of the town's student hotspots - although there's more of a mix of customers at the weekend. By day, this is a very different venue and a reasonable place for a keenly-priced meal or a spot of people-watching, with its picture windows looking out on Terrace Road.
