Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and really make the place feel welcoming, always up for a chat and keeping things lively.
  • It's a fantastic spot for a casual pint or organising events like parties, with great music nights and even fundraisers for good causes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit dodgy at times, like when you're left waiting ages for someone to take your order, which puts a dampener on things.
  • From what I've seen, it's not always consistent – one minute it's great, the next you're dealing with shocking attention to customers.

The King’s Quay is a cracking little bar in Bangor that's been given a fresh lease of life by its new owners – think great beers, a cosy vibe, and some classic pub games, making it a top pick for a relaxed drink.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

The worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I would give zero stars if I could. Firstly, the waiter spilled a drink on my autistic brother, it was replaced and he was apologetic but a nightmare...

Wolseys Bars & Restaurant is a charming spot in Bangor for enjoying tasty food and a warm welcome, though it does get lively at peak times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and consistently well-received, with highlights like the steak nights offering great value for a hearty meal.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make everyone feel at home and even adapting for families with special needs.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit noisy and crowded at times, especially when it's busy with folks enjoying a drink, which might disrupt a more relaxed dining experience.
  • Depending on when you visit, the bar vibe might overshadow the restaurant feel, so it's not always the quietest spot for an intimate meal.

Hop House is a welcoming bar in Bangor with cracking drinks, lively events, and friendly vibes most of the time, though it's not without the odd hiccup with staff or noise.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are generally warm and attentive, like that time Alex remembered a whole long order without missing a beat – it really makes you feel looked after.
  • They've got a cracking selection of craft beers and cocktails, plus a top-notch pint of Guinness that keeps everyone coming back.
Areas for Improvement
  • A few of the bar staff can come across as a bit unhelpful or even rude at times, which might spoil the mood if you're not expecting it.
  • It tends to get quite noisy on weekends, so if you're after a quiet catch-up, you might find it a tad overwhelming.

Alex remembered my order perfectly, before double checking (it was a long order) and was wonderful to deal with
James Cairns
Great bar, great music, excellent craft beer selection, the only downside was the 2 bar staff downstairs were incredibly unhelpful/borderline rude - (everyone who was there said the same thing).
George Lawton
Called in here a few years ago for the work do for a few pints, not a bad spot with plenty of room

Food and service lovely. Atmosphere for a Friday night totally crap. No background music . Only background noise was two guys playing a board game and shaking a dice. Definitely won't be back.

The Loft Bar is a charming Irish pub with a warm, friendly feel, offering great drinks and classic pub entertainment, though it's currently closed so you'll have to wait for the fun to resume.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The pints are absolutely spot on – great quality and at a cracking price, perfect for a casual night out.
  • Friendly staff who are full of banter and make you feel right at home, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
Areas for Improvement
  • The place seems to be closed at the moment, which is a real shame as it might put a dampener on plans to visit.
  • No mention of food options, so if you're after a bite to eat with your drink, you might need to head elsewhere.

The Spirit Merchant is a welcoming Wetherspoon spot in Newtownards, offering brilliant value on drinks and grub, with a friendly vibe that's perfect for a casual catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The value for money is spot on – you get cracking deals on pints and meals, like a pint of Guinness for just £3.50, which is a steal compared to other spots.
  • The food's always a treat; from tasty chicken wings to cod and chips, it's reliably good and they even offer smaller portions for a lighter bite.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit bustling at times, especially during peak hours, which might make it feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet pint.
  • As it's a Wetherspoon chain, the atmosphere is pretty standard – it's functional and friendly, but it doesn't have that unique local charm some independent pubs offer.

The Whiskey Haw

The Whiskey Haw

The Whiskey Haw is a bar in Newtownards that's still under the radar, with no buzz or details available yet, but it could be an exciting new addition once it sorts itself out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a fresh bar in Newtownards, which might bring some new vibes to the local scene and could turn out to be a hidden gem once it gets going.
  • Being in a spot like South Street, it has the potential for a welcoming, community feel if it's anything like the area's other spots.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's absolutely no reviews or ratings yet, so it's tough to get a sense of what the experience might be like.
  • It's currently closed, which means you can't pop in for a drink right now and might have to wait for it to reopen.
