Y Bar on Friday: doors from 10, last in around 1am

Y Bar is the late room Cover Wales will actually send you to on a Friday. Not because it is secret — because it is open, it is billed, and the door policy is readable from the pavement. Thu–Sat from 10. Last in around 1am. Bank holiday Mondays are quieter; do not build a night on them.

This is not a pub guide. The Drinker is the pints. Out Out is the night you meant when you said you were going out out.
