A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. Sitting directly opposite the cathedral in the heart of Bangor, The Castle is a pub for any occasion. Whether our guests are looking to kick-start their day with breakfast, a spot of lunch, or an evening meal, our relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere is perfect.
