Gales Wine Bar
About
Nestled at 18 Bridge Street, Gales Wine Bar and Hotel offers a storied blend of historic charm and modern hospitality. Originally the 17th‑century Lion Inn, the building has evolved under family ownership to become North Wales’ first wine bar, now boasting a wood‑panelled interior, a bustling 20‑table restaurant, and a boutique 8‑room hotel. The venue features an award‑winning wine list featuring global bottles alongside local ales, craft lagers, and ciders. Live music fills the evenings, turning the bar into a cultural hub each Friday, while a secluded garden provides al‑fresco dining in a tranquil setting. Friendly, knowledgeable staff ensure that both food lovers and wine enthusiasts enjoy a relaxed experience—whether it’s a quick lunch, a sunset drink, or a full evening of dining, music and conversation.
