Bank conversion with the usual impressive splendour of an interior- marble, pllars, etc. This place has the inevitable feel of a chain (M & B) about it, but despite this it's not bad at all. The interior is complemeted by a good selection of real ales- 6 handpumps on my last visit- and pub grub at a reasonable price. Nice neo-classical fronatge too. Nothing amazing, but all an all a good experience.

Improving city centre pub with decent real ale selection and food.

Have paid a couple of visits to The Bank recently and on both occasions there's been a fair selection of real ales to choose from, although somewhat over priced, and they have tasting notes attached to the pump clips to give you an idea of what you're buying. The pub is a grand old building and it's history can be read on the back of the menus. Clean tidy pub with a relaxed atmosphere in the daytime - have not tried it in the evenings. Good value food is available all day and they specialise in sauasages with various fillings.

This Pub when it Re-Opened used to have a descent Selection of Real Ale but now it seems to be lacking a real choice of Ales so its best to give it a miss
|
Nice spacious pub quite elegant inside. Real ale and food good
|
This pub USED to be excellent but after a strict "no in any way alternative-looking staff" policy, has stripped it of all but a fraction of soul... At least Mike still works there.
|
Beer good if a little pricey but I did feel I'd intruded on a gentleman's club and given the lack of a TV on cup final day we didn't stay too long.
Does appear to cater more than most for those who prefer to drink something other than beer,lager or cider

I was there on saturday 15th April, around 2 pm, with a friend. We took a place at a table near the window and had to wait AGES. The waiter came, started cleaning the table next to us without saying us a word. After he cleaned the table he left again and served other tables. We thought he was not responsible for our table and ask the other waiter in the restaurant, who was standing (= doing nothing) at the bar.
He just said that we were sitting at the wrong table and did not explain us further why there are "wrong" and "right" tables.
Needless to say, we left the place straight away. Apparently they don't know what "customer service" means.

Had to wait ages for food. But they did give us some "sorry about the delay" beer, and it was very nice.
