The Glen is just nice, as the music is alright, and it stays open till one.
Rummers is perfect for spending a night with your freinds, just as the Varsity, the Inn on the Pier is nice, and there's always peer pressure. And for the best Guinness you go to Flannery's

Personal comments
Llanbardarn was not such a great place to live in mainly because of the very bad heating system. However it is a great way to make (international) friends so it is worth living there anyway. My room was huge, which was nice.
