Drinks & Nightlife

Occasional live music, everything from Ska, Rock to Classical,plus Theatre Events. Small bar with at least one real ale.
+Stop Press+ The Lost Arc Cafe is a great place to eat- open every day except Tues & Weds. Breakfast and Lunch- fresh and homemade- best coffee for miles; Wood Fired Pizza nights most Fridays; Busy and popular Sunday Lunches with proper Vege/Vegan options; Friendly helpful Staff; Licensed. During Lockdown they created lots of lovely outside seating which is a real bonus. The Lost Arc is also Rhayader's emerging go to Music/Arts venue, run by two crazily enthusiastic ex teachers they are converting a former cinema/supermarket into an exciting new venue. We have had, Folk, jazz Ska, Hip hop, Reggae, Shakespeare, Songs from the Shows etc and all the acts have been of the highest calibre. You are more than likely to see us down there! Regular programme of events. Check website for details.
