Gogerddan Arms, Aberystwyth

The Gog is no longer a small, dark little place, more befitting of a hobbit, populated by shuffling old men. It is now being co-run by Pete, part of the Pete n' Dee partnership that used to run the Ship & Castle when it was at the height of its power. So now there's ale going on, though oddly the quality has been variable so far. There's been a bit of refurb inside - a change of colour and a bit brighter too but it still needs a bit extra doing to make it *obviously* better than the Lion. Still has the little pool room up a couple of steps (with a Regal-branded table lamp), as well a good darts board. Very cheap (under £4 a dish) and cheerful food is offered to keep you going. there's usually a line of middle-aged drinkers set up along the bar, discussing local gossip - watch out for the woman who appears to have every taxi company's calling card in her wallet. Massive function room out the back, would be good for a party.
