Wrexham comes alive at the weekend. High Street has some of the best cocktail bars in North Wales within a few doors of each other, and there are craft beer bars, live music and late venues a short walk away. Here’s where to go for a night out, starting with our members.


COCKTAIL BARS

  • Effie’s on High Street: creative cocktails and live music every Friday and Saturday, and the perfect start to the weekend.

  • Vault33 on High Street: an elegant bar in the Grade II listed former Bank of Liverpool, part owned by former Wrexham striker Neil Roberts, with live sport, events and music.

  • Levant Kitchen & Bar on Chester Street: famous for its cocktails as well as its hanging kebabs, and open from lunchtime until late every day.

  • The Fat Boar on Yorke Street and The CarniBoar on High Street: dinner and cocktails under one roof.


WINE, BEER AND A FRIENDLY LOCAL

  • The Bank on High Street: more than 20 wines by the glass and small plates to share.

  • Magic Dragon Brewery Tap on Charles Street: award winning ales brewed in the county and a busy programme of live music.

  • Hill St Social on Hill Street: the kind of bar where newcomers are always made welcome.


LIVE MUSIC AND LATE NIGHTS

Our partner Wrexham.com lists more bars and late venues, including The Ironworks on Town Hill, which has a late licence to 1am, The Parish for indie gigs, and The Drunk Monk for craft beer. For gigs, comedy and club nights this week, see What’s On in Wrexham, updated every Monday.


START WITH DINNER

Book a table first at one of the city centre restaurants in our where to eat guide, or try something new on the Taste of Wrexham food tour. For traditional pubs, see the best pubs in and around Wrexham.


STAY IN TOWN

Boutique 33 has serviced apartments above High Street, The Lemon Tree is a few minutes’ walk away, and Ramada Plaza is five minutes from the centre. See where to stay in Wrexham.


GETTING HOME SAFELY
