Popular small pub, hidden away near the old city wall. The three guest beers vary in style, often including a dark beer, and focus on local breweries. There is a real cider available. The pub has a traditional feel, with bare floorboards and green settles along the walls. Covered seating is available in the courtyard outside. TV screens show major sports events on TNT, Tuesday is quiz night, and there are monthly 'bandeoke' live music singalong nights. Information about events can be found on the pub's Instagram feed: thebanktavern. The pub is known for its food, with Sunday lunch booked up months in advance.
