The Cellar sits in the cellars of 25-26 Quay Street in Cardigan, sharing its entrance with the Castle Cafe above. It is a small, dedicated live music room — a full-time stage, vinyl and memorabilia on the walls, comfortable seating and a well-stocked bar leaning on local ales. The weekly Thursday open mic is free to get into and is the friendliest way for a Ceredigion performer to get a first set in front of people - the rest of the week the room hosts touring and regional acts. Doors and bar open at 7:30pm with performances from 8:30pm and last entry at 9:30pm.
