Torello Lounge

Torello Lounge is a café bar located at 57 High Street in Prestatyn, Wales, trading under the Lounge Café Bars banner. It occupies a prominent spot on Prestatyn High Street, marked by a dark green tiled sign overlooking the corner clock, with a sprinkling of front tables, large opening windows for people-watching, cosy interior corners, and a large terrace at the back. The venue serves an extensive food and drink menu that includes full gluten-free, vegan and kids menus, and is positioned as a relaxed, welcoming, all-day space suitable for families, friends and casual gatherings. As part of the Lounge Café Bars group, Torello Lounge shares the parent brand's operating model: neighbourhood café bars that shift atmosphere through the day, from coffee and brunch to evening dining and cocktails. The group's own story began in 2002 in Bristol, when three longstanding friends — Dave Reid, Alex Reilley and Jake Bishop — opened their first site in a former optician's in Bedminster after years in the restaurant and bar trade. That single site grew into a legacy of over 250 Lounges nationwide, with Torello Lounge one of the many local outposts carrying the format into towns across the UK. Torello Lounge's offer is built around everyday deals and a broad menu rather than fine dining. Its published promotions include Cheeky Mondays (a free 175ml house wine, pint of Cruzcampo, soft drink or pudding with any burger, main or salad from 5pm), Tapas Tuesday (three tapas plus a glass of wine, a pint of Cruzcampo or a soft drink for £13.95 from 5pm), a Lounge Cocktail Club (two of the same cocktail for £13.25 daily from 5pm until close), and a lunch deal featuring soup and half a grilled cheese. Seasonal menus appear too, such as the Christmas at Lounge line-up with dishes like Marry Me Santa, Pig-In-Blanket Mac & Cheese, Goan Spiced Parsnip Soup, Baileys Cheesecake and Chocolate Orange Mousse. Opening hours at the Prestatyn site run from 9am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday and 9am to 11pm on Friday and Saturday. The venue can be contacted on 01745 856192 or at torello@thelounges.co.uk, and bookings are available. Like other Lounges, Torello Lounge is presented as a community-minded local business, with the parent group noting that each Lounge partners with local charities. The brand sits within the wider Loungers family alongside sibling concepts Cosy Club and Brightside Roadside Dining.

Torello Lounge is one of the local café bars operating under the Lounge Café Bars brand, a UK-wide group whose story began in 2002. According to the group's own account, Lounge was founded by three longstanding friends — Dave Reid, Alex Reilley and Jake Bishop — who wanted to do their own thing after years working in the restaurant and bar trade. Their first site was an empty former optician's in Bedminster, Bristol. From that single location the concept expanded into a legacy of over 250 Lounges nationwide, with each site adopting a local name and a neighbourhood-focused identity. Torello Lounge itself is the Lounge in Prestatyn, Wales, trading at 57 High Street. It is described as a proud part of Prestatyn High Street, with a dark green tiled sign overlooking the clock on the corner. The physical layout reflects the standard Lounge format: a few tables at the front, large windows that open out for people-watching, a relaxed interior with cosy corners, and a large terrace at the back — the latter celebrated in a mural behind the bar that references 'sunny Prestatyn'. The venue serves a broad all-day menu with full gluten-free, vegan and kids options, and runs a rotating calendar of value deals such as Cheeky Mondays, Tapas Tuesday, the Lounge Cocktail Club and a lunch deal. Seasonal menus, including the Christmas at Lounge offer, are promoted through the group's website. Opening hours are 9am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday and 9am to 11pm Friday and Saturday, and the site takes bookings by phone and email. As part of the wider Loungers family, Torello Lounge sits alongside sibling brands Cosy Club and Brightside Roadside Dining. The parent group emphasises community involvement, stating that each Lounge partners with local charities, and presents careers and internal promotion as part of its identity. The group's own framing is that it started with a simple idea — to create a space where everyone feels at home — and that mission remains the same across its growing community of sites.
