Not a great clubber myself, so will keep these brief...

Pier Pressure
Cheesy music and cheesy mofos. Friday is cheap night, but avoid Saturday as it’s a wallet-raper. An Aber legend, beloved of students and locals alike. I sometimes wonder how well a wrought-iron structure, continually battered by the corrosive salt of the Irish Sea, manages to sustain the weight of so many people jumping up and down each weekend...

Why Not (formerly Tavern in the Town; Skinner's Arms; Skinner's Video Bar; Porky’s; K2 ; Club Yoko's)

Well well, another change of name for this place. The new incarnation retains a fair chunk of the Yoko's refit but strips away the worst bits of pretension (cheerio, Bog Troll!). Our visit on a Saturday evening in April saw a decent evening with a decent DJ (the Prodigy megamix was inspired). Also impressed by the availability of a decent bottle of beer (Marstons Pedigree). Would seem to be worth a visit - possibly for the first time in 10 years.
Old Yoko's review: Full of people who think they’re too classy for Pier Pressure. Cruelly exposed when they had pole-dancing nights for a while. “Page 3 stunners? Page 3 of the Racing Post more like!” was the reaction of the Boy Demitrius. Possibly the only place in Aber where Justin Timberlake is a cooler musical choice than Meatloaf. Only place in Aber (possibly West Wales) to employ a despised Bog Troll. My advice is to only drink bottled alcohol in here as the lager seems distinctly watery.

Full of locals who started off in Pier Pressure/Porky’s 10 years ago. Now go here because they’re maturing gracefully. Sort of. To be fair, it’s quite good fun and if you’re a mature student you could do a lot worse.
