The Bank Tavern in Bristol

Ah, The Bank Tavern – what a little charmer it is, tucked away in Bristol and holding its own after all those years. I've got to say, if you're after a proper pub experience with a side of top-tier grub, this place hits the spot. Their Sunday roasts are the stuff of legends, with tender meats, crispy roasties, and all the trimmings that leave you wanting seconds – no wonder they're always booked solid. The staff are an absolute delight, making you feel like you're catching up with old mates behind the bar, and the range of local ales is spot on for a relaxed afternoon. They've got live music, quizzes, and sports on the big screen, so there's always something going on to liven things up. On the flip side, it's a snug spot, so it can get a bit heaving, especially if you're popping in without a plan, and those outdoor seats are brilliant when the sun's out, but you know how unreliable our weather can be. All in all, it's a brilliant spot for a pint and a chat, but I'd recommend getting in early or booking ahead to avoid any disappointments – trust me, it's worth the effort for a taste of what makes this pub so special.
