Fabulous independent live music venue with craft beer and gin - service was faultless (credit to Liam) and the most brilliant local artwork displayed. It was karaoke night when I visited - not my forte 😂 but everyone was having a gred time Nd the atmosphere was second to none - if I were local I'd come back 👍👍👍

I have never been into a pub / venue where the bar person gives off such a negative energy that you just want to up and leave, which we did even after we purchased our drinks which we left. Unfortunately I didn’t get to try the food because of the greeting down stairs. Would not recommend this place to anyone .

Great little find up a side street. Loads of local beers on tap. Brilliant live music (Beggars Buttons). Ended saying all evening. Had the most amazing sour drink by Pollys brew Co.

Cosy place, sister bar to Bottle & Barrel but with live entertainment. Great choice of drinks that are regularly changed. The Vault and The Barrel have to be the best bars in Aberystwyth, drinks aren't cheap, but so many ever changing drinks to try with very high percentages, so small serving are sold not pints when over 8%. Because of its diversity and uniqueness it doesn't get over crowded with ****heads like other well known chain pubs. So if you want friendly, cosy, good service and enjoy ales visiting is a must.

A superb venue for a big birthday! Thanks so much to Jack and the Bank Vault BABS for creating such a wonderful venue for celebrating! We had the best time with great tunes, a banging buffet and a top notch bar made all the better by Jack, who was so calm, super on it and generally wonderful! A great all round venue. Intimate, full of warmth with good vibes aplenty 🥳 Highly recommend for private parties 🎉
