Former post office and nightclub goes up for auction

One of the most prominent buildings in Bangor has gone up for sale. The historic former post office and night club on Deiniol Road will go under the hammer at the start of next month.

The imposing Grade II listed building was built in 1909. and served as the city’s post office for almost a hundred years before its closure in 2008, when the post office relocated to the High Street. The period building was then converted into a nightclub called ‘Embassy’, later ‘Revive’, but it has lain empty now for several years.

Plans have been put in place, but not yet submitted, for the building to be developed into a bar, restaurant and club complex as well as a private medical centre, according to the listing, with potential for the former loading area to the back to be transformed into a multi-storey hotel.
