The Bank Newry — Restaurant in Newry, Mourne and Down District Council

This huge pub/club is a beautiful building and a beautiful bar(downstairs) to be fair but unfortunately there are a lot of very drunk children in there. And I mean children,from 14 to 15 to 16yr olds,all with fake drivers licenses, that are obviously fake, and the majority of them purporting to be 19yr old. I am a man in his mid 40’s with a daughter of 19 and it really did my head in seeing all these children in The Bank and very drunk.It’s not like they were “oh she/he could be 19 but they look young” it was plain obvious to see they were school kids. I was actually very concerned for some of the girls because they were so drunk they could barely string a sentence together except “can you give us a lift home” to anyone in there actually old enough to drive.And then you had the door staff, all of the door staff can’t be blamed for the situation because when I entered 1 man was on the front door,he was later bounding about the place with a sleeveless compression top on and his arms out like he was some kind huge bloke.What was he playing at,if he wasn’t the head doorman the head doorman should have told him to put his jacket back on and get his SIA of his bare arm and back around his jacket arm,very unprofessional and just plain stupid and strange.It was as if he needed people to see his huge arms(they weren’t quite there yet).So stupid and unprofessional I thought it was a joke the first time he bounded through the place but no he did it all night.This place needs sorting out and so do some of...

We went to the Bank to celebrate the holy communion of our niece. We were seated at long tables which were laid out across the dance floor in the disco. There was absolutely no room to move at the table. It was so uncomfortable trying to eat without moving your arms!! There was about 20 people seated at our table and four tables laid out like this, we were literally like sardines squeezed in to maximize the amount of people at each table. The food eventually came after a very very long wait and it was disappointing. Being served food over your shoulder without the ability to move is not ideal. I had beef with potatoes and mixed veg. The veg was over cooked and the beef while tender was pretty much tasteless. It was basically a home cooked meal which left a lot to be desired. I don't believe it was prepared by a chef and if it was they should be sacked!! All the people at our table were disappointed with the food and I believe the other families felt the same way. While the service was just about acceptable there was some very unhelpful staff. There was a special request made to one member of staff regarding one child's dietary requirements and they were unhelpful to say the least. I personally would never eat at the Bank again and I believe most people who attended that day feel...

Can not recommend this place enough. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. Ordered two chicken fillet burgers (me & hubby) onion rings and kids goujons and chips. Also desert of apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding. Holy god they were unreal, all of it, tasted amazing. Husband said best chicken burger ever eaten and thats saying a lot he is very picky. The deserts while we were already in a food coma from the generous portions of the mains, we just had to try. They did not disappoint, so gorgeous, hot apple crumble with vanilla icecream and vanilla custard and fresh berries on the side. The sticky toffee pudding was equally amazing very large portion served with vanilla icecream in a river of toffee sauce and also fresh berries on the side (not soggy have rotten ones) Have to also mention the service, top quality, young lad (blonde with a bun) couldn't be more helpful or friendly, excellent customer service. Others checked on us and cleared tables but he was the good one, good customer service is what also makes a meal. So ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me, look forward to going back...
