About This Pub
Ah, The Old Bank – it's one of those classic pubs that really captures the heart of a local community in Northampton, with its cosy setup and that welcoming buzz when you're in the know. From what I've gathered from the chats online, it's got some cracking points going for it; the staff can be an absolute delight, all smiles and helpfulness, and who can complain about grabbing a pint for just £3? It's clean, lively, and draws in a real mix of people, making for some great evenings. But, let's be straight, it's not all roses – there are tales of it being a bit too exclusive, where if you're not a familiar face, you might get a frosty reception or even be nudged out the door, which is a shame because it could be a gem for everyone. Overall, if you're popping in as a local or with mates, you'll likely have a top time, but it's worth keeping in mind that it might not roll out the red carpet for visitors, so plan accordingly if you're just passing through.
Pros and Cons
Pros

The staff can be really friendly and helpful, like that lovely blonde lady who made visitors feel right at home with her warm smile.
-
Prices are a absolute steal – pints for just £3, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly night out.
-
It's got a welcoming, clean vibe with a mix of folks from all walks of life, creating a proper community feel.
Cons
-
It can feel a bit cliquey, with some reports of people being told to leave if they're not regulars, which puts a damper on things.
-
The owner or staff might come across as rude in certain situations, like when someone just needs the loo urgently.
-
As a locals-only kind of place, it might not be the most inviting for newcomers or passers-by looking for a quick stop.

I was coming from Europe to uk to visit my family and I get to see this clean and lovely pub , bar how you want to call it . The blonde lady was very nice and helpful with a smile on her face . I get some drinks and I was so nice to see all the people all eges in here so welcoming and so warm people. I can say that British people are bold different than the rest of the people. If you come across guys come you will have fun. 💛

Lovely little pub with friendly atmosphere
Had a drink in here whilst playing the slots in here and got told because i wasn't a local and because i only had one drink that i should leave and go to the bookies across the road. Rude, and very much a pub for LOCALS ONLY. Avoid unless your a regular.
This is not something I was expecting....
I walked in ( as I really need to use the toilet... ) and the bar was empty ( like the whole pub ) so I put my steps straight into the loo... Then the owner turned up by asking what I was doing, I explained I needed to urgently use the toilet,
Straight he said no! Because I'm not the customer and if I trip in there then I can claim it after... And then he asked me if I wanted to get a drink.... And then he will let me use ...
A very arrogant person especially names me a clown when I was leaving ....
I'm not surprised that this place is empty while others are full....
Never come back!!!!
