The Bank Statement - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find this spot right in the heart of Wind Street's chaos, housed in what used to be a proper bank - hence the name. The high ceilings and original features give it more character than your average Spoons, though it's still very much the reliable chain experience you'd expect. The beauty here is the combination of Wind Street location with Wetherspoons prices - you can fuel up on a full English for under a fiver before hitting the other bars, or settle in for the long haul with £2 pints. It gets absolutely rammed on weekend nights when the street's heaving, but that's part of the charm. The staff know how to handle the Wind Street crowds, and there's enough space that you can usually find a spot even when everywhere else is packed.
