The Bank Café Bar
Now, as a devout West Ender, I sometimes feel as though I am being unfaithful to my Westerly roots when I venture further afield. However, the Bank Café Bar situated over on the south side, makes the short trip more than worth it for me.
The Bank makes an impression from the moment you step through the front door. I really like all the beautiful period details that have been cleverly tied in with chic modern interiors and the stunning stain glass ceiling dome. The place is simply full of character without being at all pretentious.
The impressive wine list, great menu and huge comfy leather sofas make it very easy to while away the hours with friend! From traditional pub grub like heaped nachos to continental style sharing platters, there’s always something that takes my fancy and it’s very reasonably priced. The tapas dishes are great for when I’m feeling a bit peckish – the spicy Spanish sausages in red wine are a personal favourite. And if I really want to go all out, mine’s a steak pie with puff pastry and chips! There goes the diet …
The Bank manages to combine the best of both worlds without trying too hard. It’s modern yet classy, the menu is traditional, but with a twist. The staff are accommodating and always up for a bit of chat which adds to the bar’s charm. Needless to say I would definitely recommend a trip to the Bank.
