Briggs Wine Bar in Conwy

Poor service . Staff is not nice or kind at all. Make you feel as a costumer they cannot be bother to make any offer to make.you feel welcome . Definitely won't go back there.

Woman behind bar what a miserable person, making any effort to make you feel welcome. We were a big group of local neighbours going there specially for quiz night on Wednesday, but never again, her partner is not bad, decent fellow but she is really not nice, Briggs deserves better staff.

Fantastic place to sit, graze and drink whilst chatting and having a fabulous evening. Very chilled out space with Fantastic decor and a great couple running it. An absolute gem in Colwyn Bay

Very beautiful bar. Great gin selection and expert staff happy to help you find what you'd like to try.

This venue is a must for people who adore quality cocktails. A great place whose mixologist uses Welsh based spirits to create some high class, divine tasting cocktails. Seasonal changes to the menu keep it fresh and you have to go back to discover what changes will be made Great atmosphere and service. Has to be tried!

Lovely bar, great service, nice beer unfortunately it was cold in there & when I asked if there was any heating on because I was feeling cold, I was told to put my coat on, not a very professional response in my opinion, needless to say I had to leave as it wasn't warm enough at that time but apparently it warms up later when there are more people there!

Great bar with a very welcoming and knowledgeable owner. Incredibly welcoming of dogs (they even brought out a dog bed) and great music. Would highly recommend.

Had the best time here, the owners are lovely and so welcoming. I commented on how nice the place smelt and was given incense to take home. 100/10 customer service and great atmosphere. My drink was top notch as well. Would definitely recommend!

What a gem of a place. Great stylish setting, lovely building, warm atmosphere, great selection of drinks.

Such a nice bar. Great selection of beers, wines, ciders and spirits. Very friendly and fast service. Dog friendly and a good atmosphere. Cannot wait to return. Thanks Steve and Hayley.

Visited Colwyn Bay this weekend and was generally disappointed with its decline then we found Briggs Wine Bar. A little gem, great friends staff brilliant drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Will definatly make a point of calling back in next time I am in the area.

Great spot in the heart of colwyn bay. Brilliant selection of drinks at good price's 👍

Superb food, some of the platters are awesome

This place has an amazing atmosphere, with the most fantastic owners who look after all their customers like you are the most important person in the room. I totally enjoy every concoction made especially for my mood in drink that night. Always a pleasure coming to your venue for an evening out.

This is the success story of the Bay Area. The Bay is full of potential. COVID has been the best thing that has ever happened to Colwyn Bay. There has been a HUGE demographic shift. And Colwyn Bay is responding. Briggs has got the offering spot on! ❤️ The age group of this demographics shift is huge - anywhere between 30 and 60 years. 30 -40 year bracket are those leaving Liverpool and Manchester making use of hybrid working and choosing a work life balance and homes at affordable prices to start or grow a family. The 40 - 60 bracket are long time resident for Colwyn Bay. Their kids have grown up and they have time to spend on themselves. Why does the above matter? What the above want more than anything else is SERVICE and great product. Briggs delivers on both counts. You will NOT find any pre-mix cocktails on the menus. Those menus are changed every season. Keeping the offering fresh and interesting. There is also a wide selection of craft beer on offer. The wine selection is also noteworthy. WHAT do you need to know? Book in ADVANCE or run the risk of being disappointed when the proprietors have to decline entry. It’s very popular as it’s one of a very few places providing this level of service. Sit down at a table, and wait to be served. Patience is required during busy times. PLEASE also note that if you’ve booked a table for 3hrs that’s what you’re getting. Don’t be disappointed or upset if you’re asked to vacate the table. I know it’s disappointing when you’re asked to move when your enjoying your night. However, if your wanting the table for full night book for the full night. This is NOT a restaurant. Please NOTE that this is a bar that does very low level catering by way of cheese boards. These are prepared to accompany your drinks. This is not a fine dining venue. It’s a hip little gem in the Bay. With a well heeled clientele who appreciate a place to relax on a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. I hope your enjoy this little gem as much as those that frequent it. This is a DOG friendly venue (for well behaved dogs) but please NOTE that children must be supervised at all times and are asked to leave the bar at 6pm. Look guys, it’s not that the proprietors are anti-children it’s that the venue is small and demand high. Priority is given to adults. Looking for a family friendly eatery - try the Pen Y Bryn.

Really great for cocktails, craft beer and cheese boards! This is our go to place for Saturday night drinks. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Make sure you book a table to avoid disappointment!

First time visiting this location and it did not disappoint. Simple on-line booking system, choose a date and time, length of stay, pre order food (optional) and turn up. There’s ample seating inside and several tables outside for alfresco. We were offered a lounger in the window but opted for a more rigid set up as we thought it would be more practical for eating. We ordered the mother board for sharing. I have to say the lounger would have been ideal but nevertheless it did not detract from the experience. The food was excellent, the pork pie gets a special mention as it was delicious. There’s a large variety of drinks to chose from and the hosts were attentive and knowledgeable. The mood is very relaxed and overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Would definitely return. Thank you. Picture was taken as an afterthought after we’d eaten some of the items.

We went to Briggs to celebrate our anniversary. Table booked for 3 hours with the intention of speding the evening there. Seated on couch with coffee table to eat food which was very awkward. Partner is 6.4ft. Vegan and meat option served on same platter which was very unpleasant. Some food items advertised were missing. Had to ask for cheese to be changed as it was either old or had been stored badly and it was definitely not vegan! Cheese was inedible and salami was dry. The lady was very abrupt and argumentative . She informed us platter had een resting at room temperature. She took 10 mins to bring replacement cheese which was exactly the same and still inedible! Made to feel very uncomfortable and left within an hour. Platters were poor quality, poor value for money and poorly stored/ served. On a positive, the drinks were really nice and the man on the bar was really lovely.

Fabulous bar, very cosy with stylish decor, varied selections of wines, spirits, beers and cocktails, great atmosphere and very friendly staff, we will definitely try the food platters next time we visit as the menu sounded gorgeous, loved this place!

Found this place on Tripadvisor....good reviews made is a must! Stunning and welcoming from the start...cheese plattter was out of this world and reasonably priced. Plenty of choices for drinks lovely atmosphere and ambiance to the place such a special venue....highly recommend.

Called in for a couple with friends on our way for food and glad we did. Great atmosphere and to die for cocktails. Quirky surroundings too 😀

Another fabulous visit to Briggs. Lovely Sunday afternoon chill with drinks always attentive service and the very best selection of cocktails … Colwyn bay is very lucky to have such a cool venue for drinks & motherboards ❤️

The place has a lovely relaxing vibe about it and i loved my carrot Cake cocktail 😀

Visited for pre dinner drinks. Staff were super knowledgable about their wine menu and extremely welcoming.

What a night. We had several different wines to taste before having and incredible meats/cheese board which was soooo yummy. Can’t recommend this place enough🤤🤩

Definitely my favourite place in the bay for a cheeky cocktail. Lovely owners, great knowledge and always using local products

Lovely place , great to just sit back and chat ,

Absolutely love coming here, either in the evening or the day for coffee. Great vibes, amazing drinks and lovely atmosphere. Big love to the Briggs fam ♥️

Amazing place. The staff are incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming. The drinks are lovely, there's an insane selection for gins, rums and whisky. The cocktails are incredible as well. I would highly recommend working your way through the menu if at all possible. Overall, this place is amazing. Even if your not local, its well worth the effort to come here.

Friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. Loved the decor

Run by owner & his wife. Lovely friendly couple. A joy to visit.

Nice setting, but could do with some more energy.

Lovely Bar. Great selection of drinks and a nice environment to enjoy them. Shame there are not more places like this in Colwyn Bay.

Amazing selection of gins, if that's your poison, alongside a brilliant selection of wines. My wife particularly has a penchant for the Hibiki Japanese whiskey and I implore you to give it a shot. The staff are amazing and always very welcoming. And they have never once left us feeling anything but happy when we've left!

First time for me, totally impressed, nothing was to much trouble quality wine and beer ,even the dog was looked after. a very pleasant afternoon will be doing it again,very soon

Great place for beers and good selection on its gin bar. Friendly staff as well. Does not have a kitchen, just crisps

Great location with fantastic hospitality & service. Highly Recommend 10/10

Grear atmosphere lovely gin great service what more could you ask for?!

Fabulous atmosphere, great music, great service, tasty cocktails.

Love this place the atmosphere is tranquil, modern and welcoming. My only gripe is it seems to be closed a bit with no online notification. Will visit more often once there open more regularly.

Very welcoming place, comfortable and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Great addition to Colwyn Bay. Food and drinks are always excellent and the interior is really laid back and stylish. Staff are also excellent and knowledgable.

Very nice coffee and lovely ambience, don't usually like going for coffee in Colwyn Bay, but this place is a gem for sure

I drive past here everyday and today we stopped for coffee. Best I have had for ages. Found our new coffee bar!! Picked up a loyalty card and we will return. However, I felt they needed a better choice of cakes. Will try food and wine on another occasion. Noticed it was dog friendly too - another plus for us.

What a lovely place. Beautiful building, great service and anazing cakes

Great food excellent atmosphere and great selection of the wine and beers

A very cozy look on the outside,however when inside,unless the sofas wernt used,the wooden chairs are most uncomfortable,like school chairs,the one I sat on was rickety,and no padding so it was very hard,this really needs to be addressed,comfy guests stay longer! We only had drinks and my wine was gorgeous and the glass was sparkling,my partner had a beer and he said that was good,would of stayed longer had it been cozier inside.Staff were warm and friendly.Unless the seating changes unfortunately I won’t be back.

The twinkly lights and candlelit tables were very welcoming on a dark chilly January evening. The four of us were given a warm welcome by the staff and we loved the ambience and comfort of this wine bar. Much thought has been taken with the decor and furnishings. On this occasion we just had drinks, but the food being served at another table looked both delicious and healthy, and we all liked the look of the homemade cakes. An added bonus were the traditional games available and we had great fun reacquainting ourselves with the rules of Yahtzee! I would highly recommend Briggs Wine Bar, even if you just want a perfect cup of tea and a cake- it offers so much more than a chain coffee shop.

Coffee was good.The cake I had was still slightly warm and was absolutely beautiful.Very nice atmosphere too.

Good staff, nice welcome, great place to unwind, the fresh cakes looked great too

Great atmosphere and interesting beer.

Visited with a friend for drinks and nibbles. Ordered the motherboard platter and a lovely bottle of red. We weren't disappointed. Only that we couldn't finish it all. Ended our evening with a couple of Gins at the bar and a chat with the lovely...

very similar to sheldons but the ladies I was with preferred the cocktails in this establishment, also tried some of the food excellent as well

A stylish wine bar set on the corner of a pretty sloping Victorian arcade with an attractive external glass verandah, large windows and high ceilings. Service was efficient, if frosty and unwelcoming. I can identify with the negative reviews on here. But we’re from the...

Lovely place, beef stew was delicious, the Malbec beautiful, service great. The town needs this kind of young entrepreneur. Highly recommended

Excellent variety of drinks on offer here, some of the staff seemed very stressed though, not quite hitting the spot in the hospitality dept. With my help this place could be the best.

Great addition to the Bay , no riff raff too which is nice .

Lovely staff very pleasant atmosphere and you take dogs in great

Really nice food and drink selection. Well worth having a board. Dog friendly too!

Lovely atmosphere, good drinks served well

Great selection of gins and beer, serving staff knew their stuff, excellent evening

Excellent service, lovely food and looks lovely inside too, will be calling again 🙂

Even if Dinosaur World was still open, this would still be the best place in Colwyn Bay by some margin. The people are awesome, the food is great, and there is an immense choice of drinks. Worth making a special trip for.

Travelling as a tourist to the area, I loved this place so much I visited twice in one day! Firstly I went in for brunch and had a cinnamon syrup coffee with chocolate sprinkles which was the best coffee I've had in ages! Beautiful sesame...

Place could do with a deep clean especially the windowsills. Told where to sit upon entering but advised the sour faced girl behind the bar we'd prefer to choose our own seat. Opted for a couch by the window which was dirty with large white...

Excellent service, food and wine in a relaxing atmosphere

Food and drinks are always perfection. Best place for drinks by far in Colwyn Bay. Great surroundings and excellent service, will happily return time again

Lovely place to have a drink and food with friends or to enjoy the pub quiz on a Wednesday night to tax the grey matter

Great coffee and relaxed atmosphere...doggy friendly

Handy location - can be very busy at times.

We popped in after dinner across the road. Great little find, bit quirky but nice, quiet place to meet up and chat.

First time visiting Briggs after having dinner at a local restaurant. It is a lovely little lay out and very well decorated! They also allow dogs!! Which is very refreshing to know. As a dog owner it is quite hard to have somewhere comfy and...

Great service as always, great selection of whisky, loving this spot more and more

Have visited now on a few occasions, coffee is very nice. Sandwich of the day is excellent and very good size portion. The staff remember our drinks orders. Have also been to the quiz on a Wednesday night which is very good and the cold...

Love this place , great interior , welcoming staff, great service , choice, prices .. annoy fault it

This establishment certainly looks the part and has a great selection of wines. Ordered two sharing boards of cheese and cured meats, 45 minutes later and it still hadn't arrived. To boot, the waitress was vacant, cold and unfriendly from the off, this made us...

Tried this place for the first time but only stayed for one drink. The ambiance is nice but the barmaid was less than welcoming. Such a shame.

I have been to Colwyn Bay a few times for work, but never seen this place before, so I think it may be fairly new. It appealed as it looked very friendly and while there was not a wide choice of meals to eat, they...

Good atmosphere. Nice platters. Disappointed they made the tea too weak and refused to rectify. It's a shame they allow dogs inside because I would have rated a little higher but I believe in food & hygiene!

Wonderful drinks, food, service and very dog friendly too. So lovely to have somewhere this great in Colwyn Bay!

I went with my fiance for drinks. We ordered the mother and well if you like cured meats and cheese its epic. Great place to go.

5* all the way Outstanding quality and truly home made food, excellently priced and presented Drinks are simply put, phenomenal! Ingredients are fresh, often local and/or seasonal and cocktails often have a twist on an original recipe. Staff are knowledgeable and clearly enjoy creating a...

Great staff, lovely atmosphere. Great wine. Definitely coming back! Cat was helpful & knowledgeable.

Absolutely loved it here. The staff are lovely. It’s got the most relaxing vibe that some places have and some just don’t. The kind of place that you could spend the whole evening in a cosy chair. The staff really know their stuff. Will definitely...

Had a great time at Briggs on Saturday night catching up with old friends. Relaxed atmosphere, chilled background music, lovely sharing platters of meats, cheeses, breads & olives and good beer. What’s not to like?

We have visited this bar numerous times and it had quickly become our favourite in the area. Not sure what the name of the blonde bar maid is but she always makes fantastic drink suggestions and looks after us on every occasion. If you haven’t...

This is the motherboard. £24 enough for 3. Great atmosphere staff friendly service good.... what more could you ask for.

Lovely food/ bacon sandwich and ploughmans- perhaps too much food. But service, whilst Pleasant, very slow. Needed 1or 2 extra staff on this slow, cold wet spring day

Popped in here just as i was passing, really lovely decor, setting is comfortable and clean. Coffee was amazing, also had the sandwich of the day which was bacon, brie & Cranberry (May have been onion chutney-cant recall) on Ciabatta, was really really tasty. will...

I love visiting and chatting with the owners while sipping various tasty beers. Other times, I will sit and study with a coffee and homemade cake (in my opinion, the best in town). When I feel like really treating myself, I will have a cheeseboard...

Went along with friends, lovely looking bar, reasonable prices, food really tasty, but the strange attitude of the blonde barmaid is embarrassing and awkward. Beware if you ask for something she doesn't find appealing and god help you if you have a dietary requirement. Wouldn't...

Been here a few times with family/ friends.Love the feel of the place. From the scrummy meat,pate and/or cheese boards to the delicious wines that accompany them this place is fabulous.Kat is knowledgable with wines,lagers and spirits-her humour and banter is fab-dry like a good...

A fantastic place to go for good cake, good coffee, and excellent choices of Delicious beers and ciders, Delightful wine and an excellent gin and spirits section, the platters of food are fantastic, thanks Hailey and Katt

We go here a lot the toast is lovely and food but if you are disabled you can not get to the toilet because it’s down steps so l have to wait till l get to town

I really like the atmosphere in here if you've come for a chat with a mate. Its not the sort of place you would go to meet new folk (I wouldnt think...) but they have a great G and T menu. The service is excellent...

I really love this bar, it's great to see somewhere so cool and modern in Colwyn Bay. The food is amazing and the drinks are fantastic. Lots of lovely cocktails I'd never tried before (but definitely will be working my way through on return visits). The staff are genuine and lovely and make an effort to make sure you're having a good time. Would definitely recommend!

Really liked the attentive staff. The quiz is on Wednesdays and is only a £1, the food on offer that night is inclusive of the cost and consists of cheeses, meats and breads. I recommend the marmalade gin!

This bar has recently opened having previously been a cafe. Nicely decorated with good range of drinks. Sadly bar lady clearly did not want to be there and was unfriendly. Will not be back

Ice cold outside so popped in for a quick drink. Ice cold beer was lovely. Ice cold barmaid left me so cold with her bad demure that I decided to not stay for any more drinks. Nice lighting and decor though so bit of a...

I like going for a chilled drink in here , just a shame the staff could not be a little warmer to the customers.
