Reviews of Ship & Castle

P. O.

Absolutely great place. Popped in for a pint and there was 2 guys with guitars belting out the oldies. Great selection of real ales and the staff were really friendly. Certainly worth a visit.👍👍

D. B.

Beer oasis, excellent beer at reasonable price. 7 real ales on offer. Highly recommended.

T. D.

Absolutely brilliant pub. Friendly staff. Great choice of real ales, and craft ales. Perfectly kept beer. Comfortable and clean. Recommended.

C. W.

Great Cosy Pub and friendly bar staff, recommended as Best Pub in Aberystwyth by locals whilst on Holiday here and certainly lives up to its name

T. J.

One of the best selections of real ale and beers in Aberystwyth. Old Rosie is the cloudy cider of choice here. On a stag do, they'll use half a pint of it to make a 'brain hemorrhage'. The other half is top shelf! They don't do food, so it's a drinking pub which is fine by me.

S. Y.

Not a great atmosphere, the girl behind the bar felt like she just wanted to avoid customers altogether, although the guy was better.

B. B.

Nice chilled pub, good selection and all around no stress... And it's open in the afternoon, which seems to be unusual for Aberystwyth.

S. A.

A traditional pub with pool table, music (live and Jukebox), proper beer and a few TVs for sports, a bit off the main strip but definitely worth a look. A regular haunt of my mates and I for several years now, a favorite for 'lesser' sporting events.

M. M.

Proper no-frills pub. Friendly staff. Black Dragon on tap. Couldn't ask for anything better.

R. T.

Love this pub... Re visit on every reunion! Still a great pub.

R. F.

Wonderful time there,unbelievable service and choice of drinks

S. D.

Great real ale pub, good range of beers.

E. T. c.

Nice friendly place, a good selection of beers.

S. E.

Always a super friendly welcome, great cask beers but could do a few more grown up non alcoholic options

J. W.

Top place in Aber. Sadly most of Abers famously numerous pubs are just lager joints. This is an exception, and I always look forward to the challenge of finding it in the maze of little streets!

G. E.

Done up nicely but kept its original charm. Feels like home.

S. M.

The ship and castle is a wonderfully pub full of atmosphere, the beer selection is top notch.

R. P.

Some really good Beers on the bar, pretty quiet when we visited but I bet it gets busy. Covid restrictions were in place but that's not a bad thing. Excellent place.

T. E.

This is a well run place with a good selection of draught ales.

C. T.

One of the best pubs in town. Excellent pint of ale. Update for March. Went for a pint after work and the ale was lush and the pub atmosphere etc is great. Brilliant pub.

E. C.

The last place open on a Saturday night and 5 police cars turned up to arrest some lad who was sat outside - great entertainment! There was only the manager and one girl on shift, still having to do table service because of Welsh lockdown rules, and they were great. A round of 5 drinks cost £19. What more do you want!

N. G.

Lovely real ales great lovely pub

B. D.

Great local old fashioned pub,good beer,friendly staff,atmosphere is fab,toilets etc very clean... Only negative is that the jukebox,whilst having a fab choice is extremely loud,making chatting more or less impossible,our ears were still ringing the following morning,which is a shame as has put us off returning.

M. S.

Very good beer nice choice nice ambient. Music a bit too loud

T. M.

Surprisingly good selection of AF beers

J. M. F.

Great proper little boozer! With real ale but shame no Wheat beer even in bottles. Wonderful painting on one wall which must be very old. Lovely staff thanks

P. S.

Great pub, good selection of cask ale, friendly landlord, what more could u want, oh, don't bother with the castle hotel down the road, no cask ale on when I went in, in fact I returned back here

K. R.

Great pub. Always a good selection of ales. Great atmosphere. It's on the small side but just squeeze in there somehow and enjoy yourselves. They even have a pool table.

M. T.

Excellent choice of well kept ales, always seems to include a dark one which is very good for my wife and I.

m. g.

Restrictions are in place, table service and a full knowledge of drinks supplied available, well done x

A. W.

10th of june 2021. Wed night. Traditional pub. Good prices. Pretty quiet. Good standards as far as adhering to covid rules. Sanatizers on all tables and table service..

D. B.

The music is loud but it's got a good age range. There is a snooker table and a screen for the sports one end of the pub and snug seating and juke box at the other end

J. W.

Great environment for students, parents, locals and they welcome dogs. Great drink selection, jukebox and free pool till 7 everyday. In one word... sensational

S. D. T.

Still cosy (or cramped, depending on your viewpoint). Still a good range of great beers, kept really well. The Ship is somewhere for a pint (or several) with your friends; if you're looking for food, you'll have to make do with a pack of crisps.

j. c.
