About This Pub

Ah, The Bankhouse – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it with mates, the food really steals the show; folks rave about the Bankhouse burger and that steak pie, with portions so generous you'll be rolling out the door. The staff are dead helpful and always up for a laugh, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting, especially after a long day. Prices are spot on too, so you can enjoy a top-notch cocktail or a pint without worrying about the wallet. They've got live music and sports on the telly, which adds to the fun – imagine belting out tunes at karaoke or cheering on your team with a crowd. It's won a couple of awards, which isn't surprising given it's been a staple since 2007. On the flip side, the opening times can be a tad confusing, especially with those varying Sunday slots, and it does get packed, so you might end up queuing for a bit. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for anyone in Paisley looking for good grub, great company, and that easy-going pub atmosphere – I'd say give it a try if you haven't already!

Cons
  • The operating hours can seem a bit muddled with varying Sunday times listed, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's open.

The Bankhouse has been a constant as many other bars have come and gone. We re acquainted ourselves with this bar recently, and we were not disappointed. The staff are friendly and attentive, the beer well looked after, and the punters create a great atmosphere. The karaoke is well presented, with everyone who wants to sing, being encouraged to do so.

We had an amazing meal and drinks as 2 families (4 adults and 2 kids) before going to the panto. The food was delicious and portions were huge. Unfortunately we never got the waitress name who finished her shift while we were eating. Will definitely be back. Very handy for the train station also.

We popped in on our way home as we were trying a few pubs since moving to the area, we sat at a cozy couch near the door, it was very busy, lots of people eating, the meals looked good, but we were only drinking. I tried one of the cocktails, and my other half had a pint, then a rum and coke. We will be back for more, very reasonable prices, might even try a meal. The staff were extremely friendly, made us feel welcome and my favourite part, it is cash only! I hate places who say you can only pay by card, because we usually like to take cash out on a night out.

Excellent. This is now our favourite destination. Staff are all very friendly. If there is anywhere within a 50mile radius offering better steak pie at this price I've yet to go there. Normally I'd take chips, those served here are quite unique and excellent, however, recently I've opted for mash which is terrific and huge!. Easy 5⭐️.
