About Us
O'Malley's Bar and Restaurant, situated in the seaside town of Aberyswyth, has long held a special place in the heart of its patrons. Nearly 20 years have passed since it first opened its doors, and since then it has seen a great many changes. It is our privilege that we get to share the latest of these changes with you, the public.

History of O’Malley’s Bar and Restaurant
O’Malley’s Bar and Restaurant was first set up in 1993 (then known as Joe's Bar), under the direction of Joe and Mary O’Malley. It came renowned throughout the area for its friendly atmosphere, the exemplary service of the staff, and the homemade, locally-produced food. O’Malley’s establishment was beloved throughout the community, and was deemed “the place to be” by the locals.
In 2010, Joe and Mary decided it was time they put their feet up and enjoyed their well-earned retirement. They passed O’Malley’s onto their eldest son, Michael, and so began a new and exciting phase in the history of this establishment. In recognition of the changes in the local community, with particular regards to increase in tourism and the predominance of its student population, Michael decided that this was the ideal time to give O’Malley’s a revamp. O’Malley’s was closed for refurbishment late 2010, and with great excitement, has now been reopened to the public.
The O’Malley family are both proud and excited by the new alterations, as they bring a new lease of life to the establishment, while still holding on to its most fundamental values- good food, good drink, and good service.
