Aberystwyth Arts Centre

In addition to a cinema, the lively Aberystwyth Arts Centre has a theater, a gallery, shops, and a good café and bar. The list of movies is varied, including an international horror movie festival every fall (the rather brilliantly named "Abertoir").

Chapter Arts Centre

In the suburb of Canton, a 10-minute cab ride from Cardiff's center, Chapter is the hippest place in town to hang out. There's a cinema showing art-house and independent films; an auditorium for theater, live music, and comedy; a contemporary art gallery; and a bar serving food and Welsh craft beer.

Theatr Brycheiniog

On the canal, Theatr Brycheiniog is the town's main venue for plays, live music, and comedy shows. It also has a café (lunch only) and a bar.
