Bottle & Barrel, Aberystwyth

Quinno _ left this review about Bottle & Barrel

A newish opener in Aber, a small bar in the middle of a fairly quiet and semi-residential street connecting two rather larger commercial thoroughfares. There’s a small main drinking room at the front with armchairs and the like, a main bar area made-over in the modern style in the middle, a further high stool/bench drinking area (an extension on the back of the original dwelling) and then a teeny rear courtyard with very small tables. Craft is king here though there were a couple of ales on the go, Electro Brewing Sesh (NBSS 2.5) and Thornbridge Brock (3) with a faint feel of them not really shifting. Also sampled keg stuff from Geipel (Lager), Dog’s Window (Dog Days). Also asked for a bottle of Hafod Dubbel which despite being listed very much confused the staff. It came, eventually, at room temperature, which was disappointing. Overall not bad given the COVID context though the warm bottle at the end was a bit of a let-down. I’d give it another go. 6.5
