My wife and I paid our first visit in three years. As always the food was excellent and the dog given a bowl of water and biscuit on arrival. It's worth booking in advance if you can as it got busy while we were there with impromptu visitors receiving a polite apology that no tables were available.

Lovely area. terrible oily food when I say oily food like there was a lake of oil on my plate. Gave me and my partner indigestion. Would not recommend if your looking to have a nice evening.

Firstly, for those just wanting to know about food, it is fantastic. My girlfriend and I both had pasta dishes and they were delicious. Though the highlight of our experience here was the staff. The friendly, fun, happy staff made us feel so welcome to able to full enjoy our night out. COVID restrictions were followed and there was no rushing us out the door to get the next people in. Fantastic place to eat and drink. Would return again

This place is so consistent, staff here are just so busy and yet happy. Anyway I brought some friends in and they raved about the fish+chips and said it was the best they’ve ever eaten. Myself and my partner had a fillet steak and a huge T-bone and they tasted amazing. They seem to have too many customers for the amount of staff but knowing what’s happening in the hospitality industry and the lack of people willing to work while still on furlough we totally understand. Anyway you guys are doing a great job so keep the faith

We were passing through Brecon on Tuesday 25th May so decided to stop and have a walk around and have some lunch when we came across The Bank Bar & Kitchen it looked inviting so decided to give it a try. The decor was very tastefully done and I actually said to my husband "if the food is as good as the decor then it will be good" Well we were not disappionted we both ordered Fillet Steak it came with mushrooms, tomatoes, and home made onion rings, we ordered rustic chips and a mushroom & garlic sauce. Well I can honestly say it was one of the best steaks we have had in a long time and we do eat out a lot. The wine was also very good.The 2 waitresses (sorry didn't take their names) were friendly and efficient and a credit to your restaurant. Thank you and we will definatly return if we are in the area and will also recommend to friends. Lyn & Roy Robins

Just had the nicest time here on Saturday - food was absolutely delicious (I had the Bank burger - yum yum!) and great vegetarian options too. Atmosphere was fab - very relaxed and friendly and our 4 month old puppy was welcomed but everyone and given treats galore! But the best bit was our wonderful waitress, Melissa, who was just so attentive, kind, friendly and worked her socks off - just brilliant. We shall definitely return next time we're in Brecon and would recommend you should go there too!

Unbelievable fish and chips. We tried everywhere else in Brecon to see if they served fresh fish rather than poor frozen fish and The Bank was the only one. Two big chunks of beer battered cod and it was lovely and white with an amazing crispy batter (well done chef) we go here on every visit and it’s simply pure class

You people must be doing something right. So many high scores, consistantly. We dined in June 2019 whilst on a canal boating trip. We have eaten in some very fancy restaurants around the world, and we have to say that your establishment is up there with most of them. My wife described her seafood tagliatelle as superb and what chef did to make a feast out of three types of bangers and mash was fabulous. The entree of grilled goats cheese was a very delicate balance with the micro greens. Yum. We washed this down with a very smooth St. Emillion and considered ourselves well satisfied. I think I could live in Wales.....it is not a lot unlike New Zealand.

Popped in for the above, and knew what to expect in terms of ambience as we'd been there a few years ago for an evening meal. As the name suggests, it's a converted former bank, so with high ceilings and dark wood. The welcome and 'vetting' was rigorous; had our temperatures checked (for only the 2nd time during the pandemic) and had to give our contact details as well as using the NHS QR code-driven app. We both had a starter which were well presented and generously proportioned. The food had been perfectly prepared (using local ingredients so we were told), was delicious and filling and not too dear. A great experience.

Staying locally to explore the Brecon Beacons, we called to book a table. I had already checked the reviews and was quite encouraged by those! The dog friendly bit was very important too as we would be bringing 3 with us! We arrived and had our temperatures and contact details taken and were shown to our table. Service was good, drinks were brought swiftly and also for the dogs who were actually so exhausted from their hikes they just curled up and went to sleep! Food arrived and was an excellent quality, delicious and piping hot. We all very much enjoyed our choices. Good value and was a very positive experience! Would visit again!

So Saturday afternoon and all that can satisfy the whim is a great steak and fantastic Red wine. So we descended on a listed building over shadowed by the huge 4 pillars of the Brecon Museum. As we walked in we observed an interior that matched the idyllic surroundings. So we sat down in anticipation of a menu that met the high standards we had already experienced. A great menu that made it very difficult to commit to the steak we originally set out to find.Surf and turf was order of the day, the started arrived....Fresh prawns and sweet pea arrived On a clean table and COVID regs were supported by all the team that served us with a smile.Fillet steak arrived with a fantastic Malbec red wine and the day was made, cooked to perfection with amazing sides.Highly recommend the bank Brecon, with a pet or not clean, safe and satisfying with the beat of service.

Our waitress Melissa was friendly and helpful and adhered to social distancing restrictions at all times. The atmosphere was friendly and the food very tasty.We had mushrooms and prawns to start followed by lamb (which my husband assures me was delicious) and grilled halloumi for me. There was decent choice for vegetarians and the portions were huge! The only negative was that my Eton Mess dessert had no meringue and was basically just strawberries and cream.

We tried the Bank Bar & Kitchen during a recent visit to Brecon, incorrectly assuming the fact that they weren’t participating in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme meant they were confident in their quality and service so didn’t need a gimmick to get trade.We waited for a table beyond our booking time, had to ask for our table to be cleaned (after seating) and then dined in decidedly average pub food. If you find yourself in Brecon, don’t bother eating here, there are better places!

This is a nice little place for a pint and some great food! The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food delicious... we had a sweet potato and chickpea curry and halloumi. One thing I would say is there were only 2 tables in (we had a table for 9pm so rather late) and at the end of the meal the staff were polishing cutlery right by our table which made it rather loud. However, the food was lovely so we’d go back if we were back in Brecon, but possibly request a table the other side of the bar area. Thanks so much!

We arrived at this great bar/restaurant on a very blustery day with our 14year old Labrador. He was exhausted after a long walk and needed to rest. Even though the bar was full the wonderful manager found us a table. All of the staff were so lovely. They couldn’t do enough for us. Especially our dog. We didn’t eat there but the food looked amazing and there was a lot of empty plates going back to the kitchen. We wish all the staff well and hope the bar continues to be a great success. It certainly deserves to be. Thank you for everything.

We booked last minute for a late table and were able to secure one. Food was off a temporary menu which is understandable given the circumstances right now. The staff were friendly and all drinks were still available as normal. The food came promptly and was all made from scratch. We enjoyed the fish and chips which were delicious. Such a light batter. We even stayed for dessert. Definitely recommend.

We were visiting Brecon on a last minute few days away but the Eat Out scheme had filled all the restaurants. Sam checked to see if we could squeeze in anywhere whilst observing the Covid-19 rules. She was friendly, helpful and did everything she could to get us a table.We had starters and main. The food was excellent, cooked fresh and piping hot on arrival. The lamb and lasagne we fab!Thanks for a lovely evening! Sam is a credit to the restaurant! Gavin and Jenny x

I booked a table for my son and I for an evening meal. We were met by a smiley face, Beth I think her name was, who took us straight to our table and took our order.We were a little concerned that we had been forgotten about due to being upstairs for covid spacing. However when I voiced my concern we were looked after by the very friendly staff. Food was good and Beth and the staff were very nice.

Lovely bar, very clean and COVID safe. Beautiful mushroom starter - asked for the recipe and the chef said ‘you just chuck some garlic and mushrooms in the pan don’t ya’, so I’ll be trying that when I get home...Lovely evening - highly recommended! Great steak too.

A pleasant meal with excellent service but very quiet, i suppose thats usually to be expected in January. Probably the nicest salmon we've had with a scrumptious cheese cake to follow and lovely white wine too. Waiter had a good sense of humour and kept us entertained on a quiet night and said "don't forget us on Tripadvisor" so here it is! Quickly cooked and delivered to our table with genuine warmth and a smile. Better than our first visit last summer but we don't like to make a fuss as it seemed full of holiday makers and a little short on waiting staff we hope you enjoyed your after work pint Johnny, Dean and Jenny x
