Huge beer selection with *lots* of turnover, very knowledgable staff, and comfy sofas. The best pub in Bristol by quite some way, located on beautiful King Street, with an equally beautiful interior.
Small, but perfectly formed. Super-smart staff, fantastic coffee (including beans to take away), and a lovely little space in which to sit. Good for working, too.
Atmospheric underground venue in former wine vaults. Beer selection is potentially vast, but stock disappears quickly, so order with ‘Plan B’ drinks in mind. Staff not always that knowledgable.
Although the music is often a bit too loud (okay, I’m officially old), the beer selection is incredible.
Owned by Bristol Beer Factory, but home to big variety of guest beers, this little gem is hidden away, but worth the visit. Home-made runny scotch eggs, friendly staff, and of course great beer.
Unbelievably good, unusual, home-made cocktails (there’s a reason they’ve won awards), exceptional food, and all in a very rustic, down-to-earth potting shed inside a kitchen garden. Superb.
Very good tapas with great views of Bristol’s Floating Harbour. Blankets provided for when the outdoor seating gets a bit chilly.
Not the best beer selection (although plenty of Bristol Beer Factory standards), but good food for a very reasonable price.
Things change a lot round here in this little plot at the back of Temple Meads, but there’s usually something interesting going on and it’s a great spot for larger groups, especially in the sun.
