Bag of Nails in Bristol

Ah, Bag of Nails – what a little hidden treasure in Hotwells, Bristol! From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really nails the whole pub experience with its unique cat theme; imagine sipping on a superb pint while a fluffy inspector checks out your glass – it's all rather endearing and adds this whimsical charm that you don't find everywhere. The beers and ales are spot on, with reviewers raving about the variety and fair prices, and let's not forget the excellent music from their vinyl collection or the pub quiz on Tuesdays, which sounds like a proper laugh with friends. It's open most days from around lunchtime till late, so it's perfect for popping in after a stroll. On the flip side, though, if cats aren't your thing, you might find it a tad distracting or even a nuisance, as a few have grumbled about that online. Plus, without a website, it's a bit of a faff to get the lowdown beforehand. All in all, it's a solid 4.5-rated spot that's worth checking out if you're up for something a bit different – just go with an open mind and you'll likely have a brilliant time!
