The Open Arms in Bristol

Ah, The Open Arms – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its quirky charm and that perfect mix of old-school tradition and a modern welcoming edge. From what I've gathered, it's all about that cosy atmosphere where you can kick back with friends, catch the big sports matches on Sky or BT, or dive into a lively quiz night for a bit of midweek fun. The drinks are spot on, with a great range of beers and ciders that hit the mark, and the food really shines, especially their Sunday roast – folks rave about the massive Yorkshires and hearty portions, though it's worth noting that the beef isn't always as tender as you'd hope, based on a couple of honest comments. Still, it's a solid spot for a proper pub experience, and that tucked-away beer garden is an absolute treat on a sunny afternoon. All in all, if you're in Bristol and fancy a place that's equal parts relaxed and buzzing, give it a go – just pop in when they're serving food if that's your plan.
