The Elmers Arms is a gem of a pub in Bristol, offering a warm, lively vibe with great live music and affordable drinks that make it a top pick for a night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially during live music nights—perfect for a fun, energetic evening with friends.
  • Friendly staff and a welcoming crowd make you feel right at home, like you're part of the gang from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of locally brewed beers and ales, all well-priced so you won't break the bank.
  • It's a real characterful spot, full of that independent pub charm, with events like gigs and dancing that keep things lively and memorable.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed during events, so you might have to arrive early to snag a spot and avoid the crush.
  • Only open four days a week, which means it's not always an option if you're after a spontaneous midweek drink.
  • No website or phone number listed, making it a bit tricky to check what's on or get in touch beforehand.

95/100
The Lyons Den Micropub is a real gem in Kingswood – a cosy spot with brilliant beers and a welcoming feel that's ideal for a laid-back pint with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on – they've got a cracking range of real ales, craft kegs, and ciders that really hit the spot, with some standout brews like that Hedge Monkey or the Dune Twist IPA.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely; it's got that chilled, rustic vibe that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates, complete with board games on hand to keep things entertaining.
  • Staff are always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old pals behind the bar.
  • They've got fun events like pub quizzes, which add a bit of excitement and make it a great spot for a mid-week get-together.
  • Prices are moderate, so you can enjoy a pint without breaking the bank, and the overall rating speaks for itself – folks clearly love it.
Areas for Improvement
  • The decor is a tad basic, so if you're after something fancy or polished, it might feel a bit no-frills.
  • Cider options could do with a bit more variety, especially in the South West where you'd expect a wider choice – it's good, but not quite as extensive as some might hope.
  • Opening hours are limited, typically wrapping up around 10 or 11 PM, and it's closed one day a week, which might not suit late-night plans.
  • While the focus is on great beers, there's the odd lager on offer that doesn't quite fit the craft theme, which some might see as a minor slip.

Pros and Cons

The Plough Inn in Bristol is a gem of a pub with cracking food, a friendly buzz, and community spirit, though it does have its moments of busyness and the odd service hiccup.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think mouthwatering Sunday roasts and tacos that could rival anything from Mexico, making it a brilliant spot for a hearty meal with mates.
  • The staff are so welcoming and on point; they'll go out of their way to sort you out, like reserving seats or whipping up homemade desserts that leave you smiling.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere where you can just be yourself, with a top-notch outdoor area that's perfect for a chat and a smoke on a Bristol evening.
  • They're really community-minded, with initiatives like Collective Yes tackling important issues, which adds a lovely warm vibe to the place.
  • At an inexpensive price level, it's great value for a proper pub experience without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • The menu can be a bit unpredictable at times, popping up and disappearing, which might leave you scratching your head if you're there for the food.
  • It can get pretty busy, especially in the evenings, so you might end up waiting around or feeling a tad overwhelmed.
  • Service is generally solid but could do with being a smidge clearer on the details, like knowing exactly what's what when you arrive.

Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a bit variable, typically wrapping up around 11 PM, so it's not ideal if you're after a late-night spot.

  • While it's inexpensive and laid-back, it might not suit those looking for something a tad more upscale or with a full menu of hearty meals.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely spot on – think delicious, well-crafted drinks that hit the spot every time, especially with those tempting happy hour deals.
  • Service is top-notch; the staff are friendly, attentive, and really make you feel welcome, whether you're there for a quick drink or a full evening out.
  • The atmosphere is brilliant for a good time – it's got that instagrammable vibe with royal blues and golden hues, perfect for bottomless brunches or dancing the night away.
  • Great value on offer, like the bottomless brunch which is exceptional, especially on Sundays, and it's a fun spot for special occasions or hen parties.
  • The place has a lively yet welcoming feel, with music and events that keep things entertaining without overwhelming you.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks come with a fair bit of ice, which might feel like a bit much if you're not keen on that American-style approach – it could water things down faster than you'd like.
  • As it's a cocktail bar, it might not suit if you're after a quiet pint or something more laid-back; the focus is firmly on mixology and events, so it can get buzzy.
  • Prices are on the moderate side, which means it could add up if you're not catching one of their special offers, making it a tad pricey for a casual night out.

Old Castle Green is a brilliant Bristol pub that's all about fostering a warm, inclusive community with top-notch drinks and a lovely beer garden, though it's not without the odd service hiccup.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a proper welcoming spot in Bristol, especially for the LGBTQ+ crowd and their allies, making it feel like a real community hub.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from beers to well-made cocktails, and the Sunday lunches with pop-up vendors are a treat.
  • The beer garden is a gem; it's cosy and perfect for chilling out on a sunny day or even under the stars, with all-weather setups to boot.
  • The staff are super friendly and dedicated, led by the licensee Mike, who knows how to put on a good event and make everyone feel at home.
  • Overall, it's got a vibrant, inclusive vibe that's ideal for making new mates or enjoying a relaxed catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a couple of reports of inconsistent service, like feeling hesitant or rushed when trying to get a drink, which might leave a sour taste if you're not made to feel welcome right away.
  • It could do with ensuring that the inclusivity extends to everyone without exception, as one experience suggested otherwise, which is a shame for such a community-focused place.

  • The space is brilliant, with multiple floors including a fun games room upstairs for darts and pool, making it a great spot for a lively evening.
  • Their pizzas are top-notch, especially with loads of veggie and vegan options, so it's easy to find something everyone will enjoy.
  • It's got a welcoming vibe and a rich history as a brewpub, plus those brewery tours are a real treat if you're into learning more about the craft.
  • The outdoor seating area is perfect for soaking up the atmosphere in central Bristol, especially on a sunny day.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed, especially on weekends, so you might end up waiting around for a seat.
  • No option to book tables means it's all about getting there early or taking your chances.
  • The kitchen hours seem a bit patchy on quieter days, which could leave you hankering for food when it's not available.

The Bank Tavern is a cosy Bristol gem with cracking roasts, friendly faces, and a cracking selection of brews, though it's best to book ahead for the crowds.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday roasts are absolutely legendary – award-winning and packed with flavour, using top-notch local ingredients that make every bite feel special.
  • Friendly staff who make you feel right at home; they're quick with a smile and always up for a chat, adding to that warm, welcoming vibe.
  • A fantastic selection of local and national ales, ciders, and lagers – perfect for anyone who loves a good pint in a proper independent pub.
  • Great atmosphere with live events like quizzes, music, and sports screenings; it's lively without being overwhelming, and the historic building gives it real character.
  • Tucked away in a quiet spot off the main roads, making it a peaceful escape with outside seating for when the British weather plays ball.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a small space, so it can get pretty packed, especially on busy nights or for those popular Sunday lunches – you might struggle to find a seat.
  • Sunday roasts book up super quickly, often months in advance, which means you have to plan ahead if you don't want to miss out.
  • The outside area is great, but it's at the mercy of the weather, and let's face it, British summers can be hit or miss, so indoor options might feel limited on rainy days.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they're so friendly and knowledgeable, always ready with a great recommendation for drinks or food.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, especially those Belgian ones, which are just spot on if you're after something a bit special.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and cosy, making it feel like a proper homely spot to unwind with mates after a long day.
  • It's in a great location in Bristol, right opposite the Clayton Hotel, so it's super convenient if you're out and about in the city.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit on the pricey side, so you might want to save it for when you're in the mood to splash out rather than a casual pint.
  • The place fills up quickly, which means you could end up waiting for a table or missing out if you don't plan ahead.
  • Their opening hours seem a tad limited, with only five days a week, so it's not always an option if you're looking for a spontaneous visit.

The Old Crown Inn is a charming country pub just outside Bath, blending traditional vibes with a modern edge for a top-notch spot to relax over good food and drinks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a cheeky bit of banter to make you feel right at home.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty countryside classics like sausages and mash or Cajun salmon that really hit the mark.

  • The garden is a real highlight, ideal for lazy summer days, weddings, or parties, adding a touch of magic to any visit.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy at times, leading to a bit of a wait for ordering or service, even if the atmosphere is buzzing.
  • The pub is closed on Tuesdays, which might throw a spanner in the works if you're after a mid-week outing.

Pros and Cons

  • The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with clean surroundings and a mix of traditional vibes and modern touches that make it feel just right.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes, like the roast, might not have the most generous portions, so if you're after a hearty serving of protein, it could leave you a bit wanting.
  • While dogs are welcome in the bar, they're not allowed in the restaurant, which might be a hassle if you're planning a meal with your furry friend.

Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the quirky food options, like those pickled eggs, might not be to everyone's taste – one person found them a bit off-putting.
  • The interior's described as bizarre by a few, so if you're after something more straightforward, it might feel a tad overwhelming at first.
  • With only six days a week open, you might miss out if you're planning a visit on that closed day, which seems to be Sundays based on the schedule.

  • The staff are really welcoming and friendly, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home, which adds to that cosy pub atmosphere.
  • It's got a lovely beer garden with plenty of outdoor seating, ideal for enjoying a pint in the sunshine or even sheltering from a light shower.

  • The place has a traditional, community feel with things like live sports and being pet-friendly, making it a versatile spot for all sorts of get-togethers.
Areas for Improvement
  • It claims to be family-friendly, but from one account, it didn't quite hit the mark – a group with young ones got told off for playing inside and ended up outside in the rain, which sounds a bit off-putting.
  • The outdoor areas can sometimes be tricky if it's wet, as the sheltered spots might be occupied by smokers, leaving you with fewer options for a comfortable seat.

Areas for Improvement
  • The food menu has shifted to vegan options only, which might disappoint if you're after something more traditional or non-plant-based.
  • It doesn't open until 2 PM, so if you're keen for an early tipple or lunch, you might have to look elsewhere.
  • While the reviews are glowing, there aren't many mentions of special events or a wide variety of drinks, so it could feel a bit straightforward for some.

  • Food options are quite simple – mostly Cornish pasties and pork pies, which might not satisfy if you're after something more substantial
  • The outdoor seating relies on good weather, so it could be a letdown on rainy days in Bristol
  • It might get busy during peak times, especially with the quizzes, making it hard to find a seat

The Bell in Bristol is a gem of a pub with a fantastic, welcoming atmosphere, top-notch food and drinks, and a real community feel that keeps people coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing – it's a real social hub with cool vibes, great music, and a laid-back feel that makes you want to stay for hours.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always greeting you with a smile and making everyone feel right at home.
  • You've got some cracking food options, like the best burgers in memory, and it's all good value for money with cheap drinks that keep the night affordable.
  • There's a lovely courtyard with plenty of seating and patio heaters, perfect for enjoying a pint outdoors, especially on those milder Bristol evenings.
  • It's a proper old-school pub with exciting events and music nights that bring a unique energy – if you love a bit of excitement, this is your spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website seems a bit unreliable; it timed out when I tried to check it, so you might have to pop in or call ahead for the latest info.
  • The operating hours look a tad confusing with multiple listings for Sundays, which could leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open.
  • It might not suit everyone – from what folks say, it's more for the local crowd who enjoy a lively, no-frills vibe, so if you're after something posher, you might feel out of place.

  • They've got fun events like quizzes, comedy nights, and open mic sessions, plus they show sports on a projector in one room.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit confusing from what I've seen, with multiple listings for Sundays that might leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it tricky to check menus or events online before popping in.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can sometimes feel a bit like a family playground, especially on busier evenings, which might disrupt the peace if you're after a quiet pint with friends.

  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming – it's like stepping into a piece of Bristol's history with its preserved interior and that iconic tramcar saloon, making every visit feel special.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, including top craft options from breweries like Burton Bridge and Kernel, with proper variety that keeps things exciting.
  • The staff are professional and well-trained, always making you feel welcome and adding to the overall friendly vibe.
  • It's got some lovely traditional touches, like cheese rolls and pickled eggs, which pair perfectly with a pint and give it that authentic pub feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's card only, which can be a bit of a nuisance if you're someone who prefers to pay with cash or is out of battery on your phone.
  • There's no website or phone number listed, so it might be tricky to check opening times or get in touch if you have questions before heading over.

The Pipe & Slippers is a cracking little pub in Bristol, serving up brilliant food, a great range of drinks, and a welcoming vibe that keeps everyone coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – from delicious vegetarian meals to guest kitchens like Jikoni’s, it's a real treat for anyone looking for something tasty and flavoursome.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of local brews, ciders, and cocktails that actually pack a punch, making it a proper haven for drink enthusiasts.
  • The atmosphere is buzzing, especially with DJs and music events from Thursday to Sunday – it's got that warm, homely feel with high ceilings and cosy lighting that makes you want to stay for hours.
  • The bar staff are friendly and attentive, whipping up custom drinks like mocktails with extra lime, which adds a personal touch to your visit.
  • It's a community favourite with a solid reputation, perfect for a laid-back midweek pint by the fireplace or a lively weekend night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes, like the Sunday roast, could do with more veg options – one person mentioned it felt a bit lacking, which might leave you wanting a fuller plate.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent based on what's listed, so it's worth double-checking to avoid turning up when it's not as lively as you'd hope.

Portwall Tavern is a lovely little spot in Bristol, serving up cracking food and drinks with a warm, welcoming feel that's just right for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location in Redcliffe is spot on, with brilliant outside seating that's perfect for soaking up the sun on a nice day.
  • Friendly staff and quick service make it feel welcoming, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • The food is an absolute winner – think generous portions of delicious burgers and wedges at prices that won't break the bank.
  • A cracking selection of drinks, from cask ales to craft gins, means there's something for every taste.
  • It's got that cosy, bustling vibe with a touch of history dating back to 1847, making it a proper gem for a relaxed pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a bit limited on Sundays, as it's mostly for private hire, so you might need to plan around that.
  • It can get quite busy at times, which might mean a wait for a table or a spot outside on popular days.

The Sportsman's a lively Bristol gem for sports lovers and casual get-togethers, boasting a great atmosphere and tasty grub, but watch out for a few niggles like pricey drinks and subpar pool gear.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially for football matches with a great mix of home and away fans making it feel really inclusive.
  • They've got loads of seating, multiple bars, and a proper pool hall, which is perfect for a casual game or just hanging out.
  • The food's a winner – pizzas and burgers are spot on, with some saying they're the best they've ever had, and there are cracking deals during the week.
  • Pints are generally affordable, and the outdoor courtyard with TVs is brilliant for enjoying a drink in the fresh air while catching the game.
  • It's got a welcoming vibe with friendly staff, and plenty of screens showing live sports, making it a top spot for match days.
Areas for Improvement
  • The pool cues have been swapped for cheap plastic ones, which takes the fun out of a proper game and has disappointed some regulars.
  • Pints can feel a bit steep at around £5.40 for the cheapest, which might not suit everyone looking for a bargain.
  • There are signs of changes by the new owners that some folks aren't keen on, like it feeling a tad gentrified with overpriced additions.

Hort's Townhouse is a lovely spot in Bristol, blending top-notch pub grub, cracking drinks, and cosy hotel rooms, though watch out for the odd small hiccup that keeps it from being utterly perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on, with seasonal menus full of comforting classics and fresh dishes that use the best British produce – I heard rave reviews about their roasts and vegetarian options, making it a top pick for a hearty meal.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to sort out any little issues, which really makes you feel welcome and looked after.
  • It's got a stunning Grade-II listed building with a great atmosphere, beautiful decor, and comfy seating both inside and out, perfect for sipping on their specially crafted cocktails or spritzes on a sunny day.
  • The boutique bedrooms are fabulously furnished and cosy, ideal for a stay in the heart of Bristol, and they've got some brilliant packages like 'Sip, Supper & Snooze' that add real value to your visit.
  • Being dog-friendly and offering all-day dining from breakfast to evening meals means it's versatile for different occasions, and the central location makes it easy to pop in for a quick drink or a full night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be a few niggly issues with the rooms, like some underutilised space that could be better arranged, which might not live up to the hype if you're expecting perfection.
  • While the overall vibe is excellent, a couple of reviews mentioned minor problems that needed sorting, so it could feel a bit hit-or-miss if you're staying overnight and hoping for everything to be flawless from the start.

The Beer Emporium is a gem in Bristol's Old Town, offering a cracking selection of beers and tasty Italian grub in a cosy setting – it's a top pick for a laid-back night out, though watch out for the occasional pricey pint or food mishap.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got a fantastic range of kegs, casks, bottles, and cans, making it a proper haven for beer enthusiasts.
  • The staff are so friendly and engaging; from what I've heard, they really make your visit memorable with their chatty nature and top-notch service.
  • It's got a cosy underground vibe downstairs, plus the option to sit outside when the weather's nice, which is perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The food is a real treat, especially the authentic Italian pizzas from Pepenero – they sound like a great match for all those beers.
  • With an overall rating of 4.4, it's clear loads of folks have had cracking times here, and it's right in the heart of Bristol's lively Old Town.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can sting a bit, like that £9.50 pint mentioned in one review, which might put off those watching their wallet.
  • The food isn't always spot on; a couple of reviews noted issues like a burned pizza base, so it might not be reliable every time.
  • Sometimes the selection doesn't hit the mark for everyone – one person was disappointed with the stout options, so it depends on what you're after.
  • There have been a few gripes about service or experiences feeling off, like in that recent visit that left someone feeling annoyed, which is a shame for such a popular spot.

  • That beer garden is a real gem – split-level with stunning views over Bristol, perfect for a sunny afternoon with mates.

Areas for Improvement

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Seven Stars boasts an incredible selection of over 30 cask ales and traditional West Country ciders each week – it's a real treat for any ale enthusiast.
  • It's got that wonderful, historic charm with stories from the 1500s, including its role in ending the slave trade, making every visit feel like a step back in time.

  • Prices are nice and affordable, so you can enjoy a proper pint without worrying about the wallet.
Areas for Improvement
  • The decor is a bit shabby and old-school, which might not appeal if you're after something more modern or polished.
  • Food options are limited to just bar snacks, so if you're hoping for a hearty meal, you'll need to head elsewhere.
  • The beer selection focuses heavily on real ales, which could feel a tad lacking in variety for those who prefer something different.

The Crown's a solid Bristol haunt for late-night drinks and events, with cracking deals and a welcoming feel, but it's got a few niggles like dodgy sound and mixed staff vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that iconic Bristol vibe, perfect for a late-night sesh until 3 AM without any entry fees.
  • Happy hour deals are a winner – like four pints for just £10, or cheap singles and doubles from 4 PM to 8 PM.
  • The quiz nights are a right laugh, with fun questions and a friendly crowd that makes for a great evening out.
  • Staff can be really welcoming and helpful, adding to the cosy, character-filled atmosphere.
  • It's affordable all round, so you won't break the bank for a good time in the city centre.
Areas for Improvement
  • The sound system leaves a lot to be desired – it's often too quiet, which can kill the vibe for dancing or live events.
  • Some of the staff might come across as a bit sarky or rude, which can put a dampener on things.
  • The atmosphere has changed over the years and isn't quite as edgy or unique as it used to be, feeling a tad generic now.
  • It can be quieter than expected, especially if you're after a buzzing night out.
  • Not everyone's cup of tea, as it might not live up to the hype for those seeking something more vibrant.

The Gloucester Road Ale House is a cracking little gastropub in Bristol, where you'll find friendly vibes, tasty grub, and a solid pint without emptying your wallet.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in
  • They've got a brilliant selection of beers and ales, including some exclusive ones from their own range, perfect for ale enthusiasts

  • The food is absolutely scrumptious, with standout dishes like sticky toffee pudding and chunky chips that keep you coming back
  • The atmosphere is lively and relaxed, ideal for catching up with mates over a pint or enjoying some live music
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours seem a bit inconsistent or limited, with only five days a week, which might put a dampener on spontaneous plans
  • From the website, it's more about the pub company as a whole rather than this specific spot, so it doesn't give much detail upfront

Areas for Improvement

  • There have been occasional hiccups, like reports of disturbances or fake reviews, which can sometimes mar the otherwise great experience.
  • The schedule might be a tad confusing with varying closing times, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any disappointment.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially for popular events or brunches, so you'll want to book ahead to avoid missing out.
  • With moderate prices, it might feel a tad pricey if you're just popping in for a quick pint, though the value for food and drinks events is spot on.

  • They've got a fantastic beer garden that's sheltered and heated, making it perfect for sunny afternoons or cosy evenings when the weather turns.

  • The drinks selection is varied and spot-on, with craft beers, ales, ciders, and spirits to suit all tastes, plus handy QR code ordering that makes things a breeze.
Areas for Improvement

The Volley is a gem of a pub in Bristol, blending rich history with cracking beers and hearty British grub, though it's not without the odd hiccup with the door staff.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant, with a rotating list of craft beers, ciders, and spirits from UK independents – always something new to try.
  • Their Sunday roasts are a real treat, packed with generous portions, succulent meats, and tasty sides; it's no wonder they're hailed as one of the best in Bristol.
  • The historic setting is charming, with a Grade II* listed building from 1673 and a lovely rooftop terrace that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends.
  • Staff are friendly and helpful, often offering tasters or recommendations to make your visit even more enjoyable.
  • They've got a great range of low and no-alcohol options, so it's easy to find something lighter if you're driving or just fancy a break.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few reports of inconsistent door staff behaviour, like odd comments or random refusals, which can leave a sour note after a great evening.
  • The ever-changing beer board means you might miss out on a favourite if it's not on tap that day, so it's a bit hit or miss.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on weekends or sunny days, which might mean a wait for a table or a bit of a crowd if you're after a quiet chat.
  • The kitchen closes a tad early, particularly on Sundays at 8pm, so if you're planning a late dinner, you might need to check the times first.
  • With moderate prices, it's not the cheapest spot in Bristol, so if you're watching your wallet, it could add up for a full meal and drinks.

The Full Moon Pub & Hostel is a lively Bristol gem with welcoming staff, cracking drinks, and a prime spot in town, though it can be a tad noisy for those seeking peace.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Friendly and helpful staff who always make you feel right at home, just like chatting with old mates
  • Smashing central location in Bristol, bang in the middle of Stokes Croft and a stone's throw from the city centre, perfect for exploring
  • Brilliant selection of local brews, ciders, cocktails, and tasty grub like Jamaican dishes and in-house pizzas – all at fair prices that won't empty your wallet
  • Lively atmosphere with great music and events, ideal for a fun night out or a relaxed drink in the courtyard
  • Clean and welcoming facilities, especially the hostel kitchen, which sounds like a proper treat for anyone staying over
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite noisy, particularly if you're in the rooms above the pub garden, making it tricky for a good night's sleep on busier evenings
  • Some of the beds in the hostel aren't the most comfortable, with a few lumps that might leave you tossing and turning
  • The space feels a bit on the compact side, so it might get crowded during peak times, which isn't ideal if you're after more room to breathe
  • The vibrant music and vibes might not suit everyone, especially if you're looking for a quieter, more relaxed spot to unwind

King Street Brew House is a cosy brewpub in Bristol with top-notch beers, friendly vibes, and a riverside spot that's ideal for a relaxed catch-up, though it might not thrill everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant, with their own award-winning brews made on-site – from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, there's something to suit every taste.
  • The staff are wonderfully friendly and attentive, always quick to help and making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is spot on – tasty dishes with generous portions and good value, perfect for a proper meal alongside your pint.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere, especially for watching live sports on the multiple screens or hosting events in their function room.
  • The location is just ace, right by the river with plenty of outdoor seating, turning Bristol into your very own beer garden on a sunny day.
Areas for Improvement
  • One review suggested it didn't quite live up to the hype, perhaps if you're after something truly extraordinary beyond the usual pub fare.
  • It can get a bit bustling during peak times, which might mean waits for service or a table, though that's common in popular spots.

The Globe is a delightful country pub in Bath that's been given a fresh lease on life with its refurbishment, offering top-notch food, friendly service, and a welcoming spot for dog walkers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The refurbishment has really freshened things up, making the place feel crisp and inviting, like a proper country escape.
  • The food is spot on – hearty classics with high-quality ingredients and lovely presentation that adds a nice touch.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome, which makes for a warm, relaxed vibe.

  • The atmosphere is just charming, with comfy spots by the fire or in the garden, ideal for unwinding after exploring the area.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be the odd disappointment with some dishes, like the calamari not quite living up to expectations, which could put a slight dampener on things.
  • Opening times seem a bit variable from the schedule, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any surprises if you're planning a visit.

The White Hart is a charming Bristol pub with a lively vibe and friendly faces, but it has its off moments with service and food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's full of positive energy and feels like a welcoming spot to unwind.
  • It's spotlessly clean, which is a real treat, especially for a pub that's been around for ages.
  • The food is home-cooked and can be delicious when it's on form, adding a nice homely touch to your visit.
  • The staff and new management are lovely, always polite and welcoming, making you feel right at home.
  • It's in a dead handy location next to the bus station, with decent pints and Sky sports on offer for a relaxed catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some meals have been disappointing, like turning up cold and not up to scratch, which puts a damper on things.
  • Staff can be a bit rude or distracted at times, such as playing cards instead of sorting out tables or issues.
  • Tables often go uncleared, and there might be a mess with glasses piling up, which isn't the best first impression.
  • Responses to complaints can feel unhelpful, like just brushing off concerns without much effort to fix it.

The Bay Horse is a charming Bristol pub with a welcoming vibe, great for a pint, some food, and catching the game – it's got that classic British pub feel with friendly service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • They've got a great selection of beers and drinks, including real ales and ice-cold lagers, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
  • It's a historic pub with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, plus it's dog-friendly, so you can bring your furry friend along.
  • Ideal for sports fans with live screenings of football, rugby, and more, plus a cosy beer garden for enjoying the outdoors.
  • The food is solid and tasty, with options that go down a treat, especially if you're after a quick bite in a lively setting.
Areas for Improvement
  • The menu could do with a bit more variety; it's decent, but some folks might find themselves wanting more choices to suit different tastes.
  • Being a Greene King pub, it has that chain feel in places, which might not appeal if you're after something super unique or quirky.
  • Opening hours are fairly standard, but if you're out late, you might miss out as things wind down earlier on some days.

The King William Ale House is a delightful historic pub in Bristol, offering a warm, quiet escape with tasty beers and friendly faces, though it's not the place for a wide range of options.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming and historical, making you feel like you're stepping back in time with its antique interior and cosy fireplace.
  • Friendly and polite staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome, even if they're a bit unsure about the odd order.
  • A great selection of Samuel Smith beers on tap, perfect for those who appreciate a solid pint in a quiet setting without any blaring music.
  • Fun extras like £1 pool tables add a bit of entertainment, making it a brilliant spot for a relaxed hangout.
  • It's in a fantastic location on King Street in Bristol, ideal for a post-walk warm-up or just soaking in the local vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection is limited to just Samuel Smith brands, so if you're after variety, you might find it a tad restrictive.
  • Staff can sometimes seem unsure about specific requests, like certain mixed drinks, which might slow things down a bit.
  • Prices for smaller servings, like half pints, can add up quickly at around £2.85, so it's worth keeping an eye on the bill.
  • It's only open six days a week, which means you might have to plan around that closed day if you're keen to pop in.

The King's Arms is a charming little pub in Bristol with a friendly vibe, great beer, and a sunny garden – a solid choice for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is so welcoming and friendly, making it a great spot for a relaxed evening with mates.
  • They've got a lovely garden that's perfect for enjoying a pint in the sunshine – what a treat on a nice day!
  • The beer is fresh and the music hits the spot, plus there's tasty grub like those rolls from Kiddles Griddle.
  • It's got a nicely refurbished interior with a decent pool table, ideal for a bit of fun after work.
  • Prices are inexpensive, so you won't break the bank for a good time, and the staff are top-notch and attentive.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a small local pub without a website, which makes it tricky to check out menus or events online before heading over.
  • With only a handful of reviews sharing the full picture, it might not have the same buzz or variety as bigger chains like Spoons.
  • The operating hours are fairly standard, but if you're after something open early on Sundays, it starts a bit late at 10:00 or 12:00 depending on the day.

The Wishing Well is a welcoming family pub in Kingswood with a cracking carvery and plenty of activities, but it does get lively, so it's best for those up for a bit of fun rather than a serene evening.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The carvery is absolutely spot on – fresh, slow-cooked meats and all the trimmings make for a proper hearty meal that's great value for a family day out.
  • It's super family-friendly with a soft play area and Wacky Warehouse, perfect for keeping the little ones entertained while you relax with a drink.
  • Staff are genuinely helpful and friendly; from what I've heard, they're quick to check if everything's alright and even handle kids' parties with ease.
  • Being part of a leisure park, it's conveniently located near the cinema and some lovely nature spots, making it ideal for a full day of fun.
  • They've got a nice beer garden and facilities like WiFi, so you can unwind outdoors or catch up online without any fuss.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit chaotic with kids running around, which might spoil the atmosphere if you're after a quiet pint.
  • Service can be hit or miss – some folks have waited ages for food, especially when it's busy, which is a shame for a place that's meant to be relaxed.
  • Food quality isn't always consistent; while the carvery shines on good days, there have been complaints about portions or delays that leave you disappointed.
  • As it's popular for families, it might not feel as cosy or adult-oriented if you're looking for a traditional pub vibe without the hustle and bustle.
