A very generic one roomed bar with very few features, just a large curved space. There's a massive TV screen on the back wall which was showing music videos during my Friday evening visit, there's also a quiz machine. Only a few people in despite the timing and the noise echoes around as it was so empty. One ale available which was Doom Bar in decent condition, if rather cold. I don't think I'll be bothering with this place again.

The Bank is situated in the middle of Rugby,it looks like an old theatre or cinema from the outside.
Once inside there is a very large square shaped room with a large island bar,there is a raised area to the right,the seating is a mix of tall tables and stools and normal tables and chairs,there is a very large TV screen to the rear which was showing rugby on my late Saturday afternoon visit,there is an upstairs area which overlooks the main room.
There was one real ale on the bar which was Doom Bar,this was ok.
The pub was almost empty on my visit,no doubt it would get busier later in the evening.

Converted from what looks like an old cinema,you would have to say that 'spoons would have done a better job.The island bar is awash with the usual keg dross,and the two handpumps served the dreaded Doom Bar on my trip,£3.20 and passable.The former projection screen is now just a vast flatscreen which was airing a World Cup match to a modest sized audience.The high ceiling,and laminate floor created a shouty atmosphere,a line of sofas and two raised sections to the side completed the unexciting decor.A younger persons bar with a smattering of totty,I expect it gets hectic later in the evening,but there is nothing much to recommend a revisit from my point of view.
