Nightlife

There’s a real buzz about Wrexham. Grab a movie, hear a band, make a strike. And unwind later in one of our pubs, bars and restaurants.

Nightclubs

We wouldn’t say Wrexham never sleeps. But it stays up late enough to satisfy even the most serious party animal. As a nocturnal stroll past the bright lights of Brook Street will reveal.

There you’ll find Liquid and Envy – two nightclubs under one roof. Plus a state-of-the art light rig, dancer podiums, a 360-degree projector wall and LED colour washes.

Live music

The Magic Numbers, The Charlatans, Goldie Lookin’ Chain, The Kooks, Kasabian, Grandmaster Flash, Wonderstuff, John Cale and Robert Plant.

When you host acts of that calibre no wonder both Kerrang magazine and The Independent vote you the leading live music venue in Wales.

Central Station (external link) and its downstairs venue Yales Café Bar offer a heady mix of gigs, club nights and comedy. And if you’ve got the courage, Monday is open mic night.

Check out a raft of other live music venues such as the Commercial and Seven Stars pubs and the Students' Guild at Glyndwr University (external link). They’re helping to make Wrexham a hotbed of talent in the rock, indie and alternative genres.

Eating out

The cafés, bars and restaurants of Wrexham town centre have most tastes pretty well covered. We do the exotic – Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian. We do American in the form of the Chicago Rock Café and Arnold’s. And at L’etage on Abbot Street we have our first French-style café bar, billed as “the place to meet, drink, eat and be seen”.

We also do food from a little closer to home. Think of it as modern British with a specifically Welsh flavour.

Expect to see plenty of local meats, cheeses and seasonal vegetables on the menu. Plus fresh seafood from just up the road - such as mussels from Conwy or the Menai Strait.

Many of our country pubs are big on local produce. They think it tastes better. And it’s the perfect partner for a glass of beer from a local microbrewery.

Among many others, we recommend Plassey Bitter. Voted Champion Beer of Wales three years running. But you’d better make sure somebody else is driving.

Bingo

You never know. This could be your lucky day. Highly popular Mecca Bingo (external link) at Smithfield Road plays three sessions of bingo every afternoon and evening.
