Rummers sits on Trefechan Bridge at the bottom of Bridge Street, in a Grade II listed riverside building, and is widely regarded as the home of live music in Aberystwyth. It pours award-winning local craft ales, ciders and wines, and the music runs right through the week: live bands on Saturdays, DJs on Fridays, and a Sunday open mic that has become the town's main entry point for new performers. It is a favourite with locals, students and visitors alike, and the mix of a proper riverside setting with a serious live-music programme is what keeps it that way.
