Clio Lounge

Walk up High Street towards the town centre and you'll spot Clio Lounge sandwiched amongst the usual retail suspects—but step inside and you're in proper cocktail territory. The space feels intentionally grown-up; dark wood, ambient lighting, and enough attention to detail that you actually want to linger over a drink rather than knock one back. You're looking at a place that takes mixing seriously without the pretension, serving the kind of drinks Bangor wasn't getting five years ago alongside a menu built for sharing. It's become the sort of spot locals book for Friday nights, first dates, or when you want to feel a bit more cosmopolitan without leaving the city.
