Rose & Chandlers in Bangor

Ah, Rose & Chandlers – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of a good night out in Bangor. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, whether you're a regular or just passing through, and that karaoke scene from Thursday to Sunday sounds like an absolute blast, with folks of all ages joining in for a sing. It's got that genuine local charm, like stepping into a proper community hub where the craic is always flowing. On the flip side, it's strictly a drinks-only spot, so if you're peckish, you'll need to plan ahead and grab a bite nearby, as there's no food to speak of. Oh, and the toilets could do with a bit of an upgrade, from what some have said, which might not ruin the evening but certainly isn't ideal. All in all, with a solid 4.5 rating, it's a gem for anyone after a relaxed, fun evening, but it's probably not the place if you're after something fancy or food-focused. I'd say give it a go if you're in the area – you might just find your new favourite spot for a pint and a tune.
