About This Pub
Ah, The Ava Winebar – it's one of those places in Bangor that just leaves you with a smile, isn't it? From what I've gathered, folks really rave about the food; it's all about those fresh, seasonal dishes and mouth-watering cocktails that hit the spot every time. The team there are absolute gems, always on hand with that friendly, five-star service that makes you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or settling in for the evening. I love how they've got this modern feel with cosy booths and a gorgeous terrace for when the weather plays along – it's perfect for everything from a casual drink to hosting a get-together. On the flip side, it does tend to fill up quickly, so planning ahead is a must to avoid any disappointment, and the prices might feel a tad steep if you're watching the pennies. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a bit of quality time with good company; I'd say give it a go and see for yourself – you won't be disappointed!

We eat here regularly and it's always great. The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious! They also have an amazing gluten-free selection which is hard to find in most places. Excellent spot for some cocktails as well.
Excellent food top notch service and staff highly recommend
We hired out the back room for lunch for a 60th birthday. It was fantastic, the service and the food were excellent. The staff very friendly and great and ensuring the party went smoothly. I would recommend and will definitely visit again.
Staying in Bangor again tonight. Googled to see where to eat, and had a nosey in through a few windows. Ended up at Ava - again! Third time now. And it certainly didn't disappoint!
Friendly welcome. Managed to nab a table without a booking (only just!) Prompt service. Food was really good. I opted for the Halloumi grill, and my husband the steak sandwich. Other than several fatty bits on the steak our plates were cleared. Would've been good to have some form of 'green' on the plate along with the steak.
Reasonably priced, other than dessert which was £6 for a ridiculously small portion. Tasty however!
Four pints, two mains, one dessert = £56.
Highly recommend. Again! 😁

Loved it. Good service and great food. Italian mixed beans con carne tonight. Super tasty. I do recommend booking in advance as it does be busy.
Thank you 😊
And we're back! Jan 2025.
Caramelised onion tarte tatin. Really good. Hubby had chicken and chorizo paella. Both really good. Service spot on as always. I do recommend booking in advance. Don't assume it'll be quiet on a cold January Saturday!!!
Food was amazing, gourmet burger was delicious. Black forest gateau and the mochas are great too. Lovely staff, very helpful and a nice space to dine in.
