The Barley Mow in Bristol

Ah, The Barley Mow, what a lovely spot it is in the midst of Bristol's hustle. I've got to say, it's one of those places that just nails the basics: the beers are fresh and full of character, straight from the Bristol Beer Factory, and paired with some really satisfying food options like those Sunday roasts that folks rave about. The team behind the bar are absolute stars, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to the homely feel. On the flip side, it's got that classic, unchanged charm, which might not suit everyone if you're in the mood for something a bit more contemporary – and do keep an eye on those opening times, as they vary a touch on Sundays. All in all, if you're a beer enthusiast or just after a proper pub experience near Temple Meads, it's well worth a visit; you'll likely leave with a smile and maybe even a new favourite local haunt.
