Reviews Summary
This former bank building offers a unique ambiance with a fantastic selection of craft beers and wines.

"Nice place with a good choice of beers. Lots of different styles including some local options.
We didn't eat but the food we saw looked good 👀"

"Visited with my young son as he was thirsty, everywhere was closing and we were waiting for our train.
Inside it was quiet, I was served straight away, the bar lady was really nice. Prices were reasonable and I'd definitely recommend the Farmhouse Pyder they had on tap from Gwynt Y Ddraig. It was delicious."
Simon McCabe
"The transformation of a former bank into a vibrant food and drink establishment is truly remarkable. It offers a distinctive and captivating ambiance, providing a unique place to unwind and enjoy oneself. The toasties served here are exceptionally delightful, crafted with love and care.
What makes this place even more intriguing is the downstairs area, which was once the bank's vault. It has been ingeniously repurposed as a seating area, lending a cool and atmospheric vibe. It also serves as a "jail cell" for the alcoholic drinks, adding a playful touch to the experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the wide selection of draft beers is simply unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this extraordinary establishment."

We parked the car, did a quick reconnaissance loop around the town of Conwy, then stopped into what used to be the Bank of Conwy for a pint. Lovely building - nice atmosphere. Afterwards, we had a pizza dinner with Malbec wine in the restaurant at the Bridge Inn and went promptly to bed.
