Definitely overpriced, food is not that great either, last time I went in there it was full of hooray henrys talking about the tory party!!!  Obviously they've moved on from there now then if they are getting that desperate. Bad Mood

Been to the Old Bank once, for a Christmas Meal.

We got (probably fairly) kicked out before the starter arrived as several are members were extremely drunk and were discussing the waitress in their quietest possible shout.

To add a bit of balance to the slating, I've been to the Old Bank a fair few times (though not in the last year or so) and it's always been alright.  A bit overpriced and a bit cramped when it's busy up on the top floor, but a decent atmosphere, good cocktails and a great terrace in the summer.  Get the 2-4-1 cocktails, and request funky songs form the DJ upstairs and you'll be alright...

Not sure about the advertising on here, but as a discussion thread I thought I'd throw that in.  never eaten there but the menu looks good and they've got jazz on during the week.   Cool Too Cool

Yes it sucks but they say all publicity is good publicity.

The Old Bank is OK....I suppose it caters for the more discerning punter, which makes one wonder why they're advertising on here. The fireworks last NYE were very good, but it did cost a fair wedge to get in so they should have been.

There is an irony that the banker's recession will probably do for the Old Bank...

Does it still only sell half pints?

If so it's not a pub.

They don't do pints (or didn't the last time I was in there), only bottles.

They do serve pints. Guinness in there is always a bit dodgy though
