I was a birthday here last night and it was the first time I'd ever been upstairs. It's perfect for…read morea party as its there to rent out for private functions. It was very spacious I could imagine you could have a good size party here. There is a small dance-floor you can go up and throw your crazy shapes after one to many. If you wanted you could hire a DJ and have plenty of room for his equipment. But my party chose to use a phone and play it through there sound system which was equally as good. The bar is quite small so if it was a full house I could imagine it would take abit of time to get served but nothing major. The staff are very friendly aswell. Downstairs is just a public bar, i would say a crowd ranging from mid twenties up. So maybe not great for a younger crowd. The bar is very small so it can get packed very quick and with not many seats you could end up standing most of the night. Great choice of drinks and cocktails. Would maybe be a great bar to start on and move elsewhere.

Bangor used to be a haven for food lovers but sadly a few places have gone by the wayside or…read moreslipped in standard recently. Teddys is one of my favourite places to eat in Bangor at the moment. They do honest good food at reasonable prices. They do an early bird and often have other offers on as well. The interior is nice and the staff welcoming and friendly but won't pester you while you are eating. It's also with noting that throughout the day and evening they do "coffee and cake" for £3.95. By cake they actually mean anything from the dessert menu. Cheaper than the big coffee chains and their sticky toffee pudding is one of the best I've had. What's not to love about that deal.

Really do like this place. It's very hard to fault with a place like the Guillemot, both because it…read moreis very nice, and because it has the kind of ambiance whereby you wouldn't really want to look for a problem or wish to find one in any case. Having been a few times now and sampled a pretty wide range of the sweet and savoury it has never missed a beat. Very importantly also, the coffee is great. The range of food available from breakfast through brunch and into lunch and beyond is very good and is supplemented by a board of very attractive specials that should suit just about every taste. They have great sandwiches that look like the sort of things you usual see on Instagram which come in a range of breads (the sourdough is my fave). The staff are lovely and helpful, and coupled with the nice décor and the comfy seats with extra cushions along the wall seats it all becomes a lovely place to be no matter what you are in for. Another little touch that makes it lovely is that when we have been in after noon, the warm orange tones of the sun have streamed in the front window and given the place a lovely glow, which is great. Not sure about other times of day or seasons though as we only started going in this Winter!

As the…read moreweather has been picking up and especially since the clocks changed the brighter evenings have meant the beer garden at the front is superb to sit by the sea. There are screen about the outside of this area to protect from the wind and electric space heaters that help to take the chill off further. The prices are all in the typical area (a bit too much these days) for a bar/food place, but nothing shocking or out of the ordinary. The staff are always friendly and decently paced if not overly chatty and engaging, to be fair it has always been quite busy when we have been in. There is a good range of beers on tap, normal prices all round, again typical of a contemporary bar in this regard. The food though while again typically priced has been a pleasant surprise on eat visit. While the prices mean the the food would need to be of a decent standard each trip has managed to prove to be over and above expectation, so it is always a pleasure to know we're going here, for a pint or a plate.

It's something a little special in Bangor, and sad to say it will be closing soon. Get here before the end of October for a final taste of their tasting menu. The service is warm and friendly and the staff where attentive. The glasses and plates were well chosen and very pretty. It was dimly lit with the music picking up the closer it got to closing time, some interesting tracks to. The whole experience was well put together from start to finish. The tasting menu is five courses, with your starter, fish, meats, and desert. The portions and pacing is perfect to leave you feeling satisfied but not over full. Each of the courses where we'll thought out and had very subtle flavours to begin, building to more powerful tastes near the end. A highlight was the compressed apple for dessert, which gave a strong taste of apple leaving a slightly floral note at the end. Overall a very relaxing and gratifying experience. I'll be sad to see this place go as I'd like more chances to try their food.

This place is amazing to get food after a night out or even to take away for dinner. I always try to ring ahead, they'll tell you it will be five minutes but if you call in about 10-15 after you hang up then you will just walk in and pick up the food straight away. If you go in often enough they'll get to know your order and are the friendlist blokes in the world. They know me by name and it really makes you want to go back over and over. It really, really doesn't get much better. Especially if you get a Funghi Pizza or even a Doner Kebab on Chips. The kebab sauce is amazing.

We decided to go with chicken, bacon, peppers, jalapenos and onion and the verdict? Awesome! If you're after really authentic pizza which tastes great then look no further!

Wolsey's staff were delightful. From the moment we walked in, sat down and right throughout our…read moremeal they were friendly, helpful and attentive. I ordered a mushroom risotto main and a lemon tart dessert which were delicious. It's heavenly to find a vegetarian main so flavoursome, perfectly made and filled with generous amounts of mushroom, spring onion and garlic. It's just annoying the vegetarian options are so extremely limited, especially when Wolsey's Chefs are talented enough to create vegetarian dishes as great as the risotto I had! There was only the mushroom risotto or a honey chilli stir fry on the menu suitable for vegetarians. Wolsey's are seriously missing a trick by not having more veggie options as so many people are becoming vegetarian nowadays or just want to reduce their meat consumption. Nonetheless I cannot fault the food I had in any way as it was beautiful, fresh and outstandingly delicious. Wolsey's itself is a bit dated with an old fashioned feel, but it's still pleasant. A small but important point is that it's also lovely to have a meal sitting in such comfortable chairs, so many other restaurants have rickety, uncomfortable seating. However I was so comfortable and cosy at Wolsey's I could have sat there all night. The £11 bottles of prosecco are fabulous value for money too and I will definitely be returning to Wolsey's. The only reason I'm not giving them a full 5 star rating is because of the limited choice for vegetarians.

At a recent Yelp Secret Supper, we had food from the bistro menu upstairs which was pretty damn good. I had the a sirloin steak with chicken, yes, that was one plate and a few pints of Guinness. Nice relaxed night, albeit, a little slow (took an hour to get food which wasn't great). The decor is alright. They have spent a bit of effort modernising the place (upstairs only, didn't check out the bar downstairs), although, there is some tat on the walls - There are some glass boxes with some old victorian clothes displayed in it. Really not sure why, but hey.

It has gone from great to terrible and then back up to pretty decent (thank goodness!!). The anticipated and exciting refurb turned out to be a fairly big flop. It will remind most of a hotel lobby downstairs, and the 'quirky granny look' upstairs - ya know, with velvet, gold and leopard print everywhere. Ugh. Until tonight (26th Feb 16), I have felt fairly letdown with the place, but we tried yet again and were pleasantly surprised. Food was great, service was great and we had a really nice night here. I am excited to see the place has changed their attitude and getting back to what works well. My old review, just before refurbishment - In my opinion The Esplanade is now one of the nicest places in Bangor to eat. Food is tremendous with large portions and an amazing view to go with it over Ballyholme bay. Even if you aren't having food, it is a great place to hang out with friends and catch up. Highly recommended!
