The Guinness and Pale Ale is a poor quality, plus a £5 card limit is a cheeky way to con customers out of more money. Pool Table is very scruffed but free, jukebox is a nice touch, well decorated and nice atmosphere.

Unloved, grubby and sad looking. Toilets are horrible. Only positive - my glass looked clean. Aberystwyth has some lovely places and this really should be a gem due to location but it's not.

This place doesn't serve food (but Google won't let me not put anything!). Fantastic bar, great vibes, good events, bar staff are lovely and door staff are brilliant.

Great to see Paper Jam here last night. Toilet facilities are in need of attention and very unsanitary. Lovely vibe and atmosphere other than the extortionate heat level to entice you into buying drinks. Staff were friendly but the no standing on the benches rule only seems to be enforced when it suits them. Quite crampt but it was very busy and a few dodgy types about.

What people say about the bouncers is correct. Extremely rude personnel, tried to physically fight people and yelled rude words on the street to people on the street. Not returning ever.

Staff are lovely, cozy atmosphere, drinks aren't too dear if you exclude spirits, Bouncers some of the worst in Aber you'd think they'd come straight out of prison, highly infamous and regularly aggressive

Well known spiking spot where peados attack people who put peados in prison. Mostly filled with conspiracy watching pot smokers that believe everything they here without questioning it... the police don't even know the procedure of getting some test for GHB... scummy town

As a Uni student almost every girl I know who has gone to Angel has been roofied there. Happened to myself and I ended up getting kicked out alone with my phone dead because they said I was harassing people even tho I was very obviously drugged and told them that. I only drank HALF of the drink I got drugged in and my friend ( who is 6’5 ) drank the other drink and half. If I had drank both drinks that were roofied I doubt I would be alive right now considering how massive he is and how drugged we both were. Luckily, he came out the pub a few minutes after but we both have zero recollection of how we got home. If you are a woman in Angel watch your drink like an absolute hawk and keep your hand over it AT.ALL.TIMES. Went to staff multiple times during the day asking to talk to the manager about getting roofied there and to ask for them to review the footage since I knew exactly where I was and what drink it was. After many failed attempts lucky a member of staff who knew my friend that got roofied called the manager to come in and speak to me. I was told they would speak with their bouncers about the safety considerations they need to make for girls who have obviously been roofied yet everytime I have been since have not seen a change. They told me it was the BARTENDERS job to watch for spiking even tho on drum and bass nights it is so busy that would nearly be an impossible ask. Two of my close friends got roofied AGAIN on drum and bass night not long ago. If you are a woman never go to angel alone, and there seriously needs to be changes made for security, management, and staff. They never got back to anyone I know after promising to look through footage which I doubt even happened as to sheerly how common being roofied is in this pub I doubt at this point they don’t bother. It’s a chill place to hangout with friends on a slow night, so it’s a shame.

Been coming here for years, hasnt got any better just worse. Uncomfortable atmosphere, unkempt, the staff are miserable and the cieling collapsed. The bouncers direct slurs under their breath and aggressive behaviour at guests all while ensuring their ID is hidden. Not to mention some bouncers perving on the women coming in. I witnessed a boy getting beaten by his girlfriend only for the bouncers to laugh at him and accuse him of being weak. Bar staff and bouncers do their aggressive mates favours, allowing some people to cause fights and take away the individual who's been hit. The back room isn't much better, the events are slapped together and i've only heard one decent band in 4 years. Being spiked in Angel is common knowledge, the unemployed, young student clientel are foul. During the day the atmosphere is non existent and even a little uncomfortable. All-in-all a vile place where you can expect to have a bad time if you dont suck up to people there or aren't easily intimidated.

Drinks are overpriced and full of mixer. It's a real shame to see an Aberystwyth staple producing such lack luster service and products. Definitely won't be going back regardless of how shiny and pink the paint job is. Rummers and bar 46 way outweigh the quality here. Don't waste your time.

Aberystwyth Historic Venue. It has a pub area and a dance floor. The locals mix with the students, being a meeting point for people of all ages. They have recently expanded their catalog of events and offer themed nights ranging from pub quizzes to electro nights.

The Angel is the kind of pub you can feel at home in if you are early enough or if you are late enough, depending on what you want your home to be like. Early in the day it can be a quiet pint with a cosy mood, late at night it can be the best rawkous activity whilst being able to hear what people are saying. It's open until 4am most nights, I love The Angel and I hope you do to.

I am utterly discusted by the way the General manager and security treat people. I witnessed female's being thrown out onto the streets with no regard for their safety. The General manager is a female and should have more regard for the safety of lone females in these very frightening times. People are being spiked and worse. The General manager was trying to enforce rules which weren't known by the public, this caused absolute mayhem and a loss of money for the establishment

I'd normally say this is one of the best bars in town, but today the staff (apart from one lovely lass) have been rude, swearing, and putting two fingures at the customers. All because they didn't agree with their choice of song on the jukebox, which they paid for. Not impressed.

Unreasonable behavior by one of the bouncers. Baring outsiders (non local) people from entering. So much so, the second bouncer questioned the first‘s judgement. Leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

We were in Aberystwyth celebrating our pearl wedding anniversary and though a curry would be a nice treat. We ordered onion bhagi for starters which was OK, for our main we ordered king prawn dhansk, chana masala( neither had tomato listed as ingredients) and vegetable balti. The dhansk was described as medium hot cooked with pineapple and creamy sauce. The dhansk was so spicy hot my eyes were watering as I opened the lid. It was so spicy it was inedible. The chana masala consisted of a tub of chick peas and chunks of tomatoes not a drop of masala sauce. The vegetable balti was bland and I can only describe it as a greasy stew. The pashwar nann was dry and lacking in flavour, non of the sweet coconut I'm used to. The only positive thing was the girl who delivered our food was very pleasant and apologetic for getting lost on the camp site which is very easy to do. Unfortunately due to this experience I won't be using Shilma tandoori again and could not recommend it others

Shop was empty but staff were welcoming. Food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, not impressed by their food and cost was higher than others in the area too.
