Alexandra Vaults
Commonly referred to as 'the Back Alex', this establishment was once the separate tap for the historic Alexandra Hotel. It is conveniently located at the rear of Amber Street, close to the top promenade. The Alex boasts three interconnected rooms, with the central room serving as the bar. In addition to the bar, there is a pool room and a comfortable lounge area equipped with a stage. The lounge is a perfect spot for relaxation and entertainment. The Alex also offers toasted sandwiches, providing a quick and satisfying bite for its patrons. As of July 2011, it was reported that the Alex only served cask during the Folk Festival. This information is subject to review and may have changed since the last update. The Back Alex continues to be a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a unique blend of history, comfort, and entertainment.
