The Court House

You're walking down Quay Street towards the water when this striking Victorian building catches your eye—it's been brilliantly repurposed as Bangor's most serious live music spot. The bones of the original courthouse are still there, all period features and gravitas, but it's been transformed into somewhere genuinely buzzy that draws proper acts and punters from across the North. Whether you're catching an indie band, folk night, or catching up with mates over a drink while something good's playing in the background, there's a real sense that something's actually happening here.
