Just a quick pre dinner drink - lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Prices as expected not cheap nor overpriced.
Team could use a little motor practice on making an old fashioned they never add the traditional cherry.
Really old pub. Nearly 300 years old. You get used to the smell quite quickly, so don't leave straight away like some flies I spotted, trying to escape!
The beer sticky flooring, that reminded me of my student days, was up hill and down dale. A small, tight, winding staircaae leads you up to the gents. An old fireplace oddly protrudes from the wall, perhaps evidence of an old converted room.
No WiFi. Well, "there is staff WiFi but it's not public" said the cheery barman, not even looking up from his mobile phone( lose a star!) However, there is a really good range of drinks available. I opted for a great stout called, "mena dhu", that means 'black hill', in Cornish.
Great pub with good vibes and amazing food. I had a Sunday Roast there today and it was one of the best roasts I’ve had in Bristol! Very big portions and delicious food. I highly recommend trying it out. Staff was lovely. Would 100% recommend.
Shockingly (in a good way) massive portions of high quality food at a more than affordable price. Staff, as ever, friendly and helpful and knowledgable about their wares. Always has great music, previously only been in at 2am or later (/earlier...), but will absolutely return for more of that beef brisket! Margherita pizza and BBQ Platter shown in pictures, with a Wild at Heart cocktail (tequila, gin, vodka) - £33. Mulled cider, too, on a separate order. £4. Great pub, great food, great atmosphere. Definitely worth it, especially when other locations nearby will happily charge fifteen quid for a burger alone! I didn't manage to eat it all, but I got a handy box to take it home 😁 christmas dinner sorted too 😂😂😂
Was a really great roast! Never had food here before but had the 3D printed plant based beef roast and it was delicious. Lovely chilled vibe in the day with good, well priced drinks and friendly staff.
Decent city centre boozer. Fairly priced booze. Great music. Friendly crowd.
Annoyingly we were served drink in plastic glasses from 10.30 p.m. I felt no more inclined to assault somebody with a glass post 10.30 than I did pre 10.30.
Went here on a Sunday night for late drinks as a lot of other places had closed. They had a karaoke night and everyone seemed to be enjoying it. The place was rough and ready in my opinion but I just went with it. The place was packed inside and outside. Although the bar was busy, i seemed to get served with little problem but I didn't like the plastic glasses but understood why they used them. It was open until 3am on a Sunday night!
Good pub. This is one of the more traditional pubs in this area. Has a great team of staff & loads of different beers. Food is pizza & sides style with offers available. Leads to more the alternative/rock crowd.
I love this place - it’s a gem in the heart of Bristol and always a great atmosphere. They’ve just started doing roasts on a Sunday and I tried their 3D printed “beef” option - it was amazing, plus the best Yorkshire puddings everrrrrr.
Fun late night pub (was open till 3am on a Sunday night!) karaoke in one area. Only down side of it is the terrible plastic pint glasses. Very bad for the environment and as the evening got later the floor seemed to get wetter from the slopping of pint glasses.
The staff here are ace, so friendly and cool. There's a relaxed attitude about them, but it doesn't seem to affect service. Nice selection of drinks as well; I love Mena Dhu but don't see it served in many places but The Crown had two or three of their brews available. Also decided to have a bite to eat here, the wings were delicious and the chips were perfectly cooked.
Obviously it's a very central venue, so it can get a little crowded and rowdy later on in the evening, but it's not usually one of the more troublesome central pubs, as it's kind of tucked away from the main road.
Pizza is amazing and three sides for £10 bargain! Lovely staff and great security, a night out in Bristol isn’t complete without a night cap here.

I was there Solo on a Tuesday, just about to go back to hostal when the weekly quiz was announced..........I then realized that was why loads of students and older were arriving........
As I'm in the older category I asked a group of 5 teens/twenties if they wanted me on their team and we came 2nd 🥈
4 of us ordered chicken wings, £5 ish garlic bread, macaroni cheese, cheesy chips 3 for £15, massive bowl of fries, 🍟 big round garlic bread, smooth creamy and delicious maccy cheese....... Chicken wings looked tiny next to others.
Great staff, awesome prices (considering the centre of Bristol) We were there every day on our trip! And will definitely be back!! Keep it up guys!
An absolute Bristol institution. Great spot for a very good pint or for a boogie when live music is on. It’s charming, not posh, but that’s why it’s great.
