BAKNAPATAWPHA

Affectionately known as 'The BANK' this is a boutique bar in the North Lake District in a quaint little town by the Solway called Silloth.

Silloth is historically a Victorian seaside town that grew in popularity around the stunning views, superb beach and seaside promenade. Truly a step back in time, with cobbled roads and simple seaside attractions centered around 'Silloth Green' a communal space that people use as the focal point of the community.

The BAKNAPATAWPHA bar was inspired by the fictional bar YOKNAPATAWPHA in the TV series 'Colony'... shortened to 'The BANK' it also highlights the history of the building as for the last 100 years plus, it has served as an actual BANK for the local community and beyond. With luxury apartments above (www.ferrier-apartments.com) and a listed status due to the connection to Kathleen Ferrier, who was by far the most famous contralto singer of all time, BAKNAPATAWPHA has everything that you want in a bar.

The vibe is one of big city boutique bar meets local warmth and hospitality... a range of gins, wines and beers to tempt any pallet accompanied by simple but tasty foods that will compliment the wine/beer/spirit of the week.

Never boring and mundane. 'The BANK' has weekly entertainment and is fast becoming the hub of the locality... a warm welcome always awaits.

We look forward to meeting you all soon... Cheers
