I honestly want to say I love this place, but I think now that I'm no longer a student, it just doesn't have the appeal anymore. They still serve the Exhibition cider, and others, and it'll still get you nice and toasted. But it's really young in there. Looks like everyone is barely 18. As a student this didn't bother me of course and we had plenty of crazy nights here, but as a grown up... it just feels like a very studenty venue. Oh well. If you don't mind that and just want to sample great ciders, this is the place. Staff are super lovely as always!
Bossman reminds me a lot of purple aki. Arrived at 9 and was instantly told to leave cos he said i looked like someone else he didn't like. They encourage a 10 pints before 10 but he'll kick anyone out who's remotely drunk and will inspect you when you're on your fag break. It felt really weird. My friend smacked his head cos the floor is an ice rink by 10 but he told us we were being disrespectful when we asked to go back in to grab some toilet paper to mop up his bleeding skull. However, banging night out. would recommend.
Love this place for cider... let's get it busy again... came to visit this time from Spain with my girlfriend... she loved it too... cheers
This is THE place to go to in Bristol if you want to have some decent cider. The Exhibition Cider is one of the nastiest drinks you could have for a night out. Do not recommend drinking it too fast! If not in the mood of having anything too strong, the Cori Tap has also got a nice collection of many other interesting ciders. Worth going there many many times. Every Thursday is music night, for a small charge you could have a very intimate experience with music bands. Certainly very good atmosphere!
A great cider house. Lovely low ceilings. The variety of cider is brilliant, although personally some of it wasn't exactly to my liking. The famous exhibition cider (half pints) is far too easy to drink, not that that's a complaint. If you're in Bristol it's definitely on of the places to visit. Only downside is that it gets incredibly busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so much so that it's very difficult to even leave.
Enjoy :)
A must go pub in Bristol with its famous exhibition cider that tastes delicious but still delivers a powerful punch. Located in a beautiful are of Clifton and close to suspension bridge, however can be a bit crowded at later hours. Perfect place for a night out.
Legendary cider house serving delicious cider so strong they are not allowed to serve it in pint glasses. Friendly staff. It does get crowded and is often pretty noisy, but if anything that only adds to the atmosphere. Not to be missed.
Classic pub! A must visit destination. I was there once when a Japanese film crew were making a documentary about the place! Has been visited by everyone from Damon Albarn, Massive Attack, Kylie Minogue and Jack Nicholson. Mick and Jan are excellent. An iconic boozer.
This is a must visit place if you like cider and are in Clifton. Their homebrew exhibition cider has to be the drink of choice, it's delicious. Served in half pint measures as it basically tastes like apple juice but has the power of a Bull!
Reknown for the Exhibition cider, also has Old Rosie and guest ciders and beers. One of those must-go to pubs in Bristol, it is either packed due to live music or empty, bar the sound of the lovely Bristolian ascent or a posh Clifton trendy trying to impress his girlfriend how down to earth he is.
Unfortunately no outside area to drink because residential, but definitely worth including on a pub crawl around Clifton.
This cider is very nice, but can actually hit hard if you are not careful. Very old historical pub. Nice environment, have a visit
Fantastic pub - Freindly staff, with a great atmosphere. About 30 different ciders sold, and one of the best Music pubs in the UK. Cheap admission to gigs, for bands you would normally pay about £30 to see in concert. If in Bristol this little pub must be top of your list to visit!!
Warning, the cider here is real and will leave you stumbling home if you drink too much, do not underestimate the half pints of Exhibition! Great place if you love cider and want to sample the wonderful delights of what Bristol cider has to offer!
