Just up from the Market Place and in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter this Wetherspoon is popular with shoppers by day, for lunchtime meals especially, and the city's drinking crowd by night. It's a sympathetic conversion of a former grand banking hall and worth a visit just to see the way things were when bankers were still respected pillars of society. The building was built as the Crompton & Evans Union Bank, later passing to the Nat West, which closed in 1994. Opened as a pub in 1995.
Note: Alcohol is served from 9am (09:00).
Extensively refurbished in August 2022 with an extension into the adjacent building.
Conversion
A Wetherspoon's pub, this is a sympathetic conversion of a former grand banking hall. It was built as the Crompton & Evans Union Bank around 1912, later passing to Nat West. An imposing Grade II-listed building with many fine features retained and pub fittings blending in well. Real ales, ciders and meals.
This Pub serves 11 changing beers (Usually four below 5% and two 5% and above.) and 5 regular beers.
