Lovely pub with a great outdoor area which is quite big and very colourful. Also outdoor heaters for those who get cold! Rhys was amazing, super friendly and funny. As an added bonus, the pub has two cats and a dog :)
My final CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub to tick off in central Bristol. Buzzing at Friday teatime on a sunny March evening. My 19th new brewery of the trip. VOLLY BREW BOX. Tip Toe 4% amber. Flat Eric made a new friend. Boothroyd Bear had a red wine. Lovely pub
SUCH a gorge little pub. Incredibly cosy with loads of string lights which made for a great atmosphere, heaters outside, generous seating, free period products available in the ladies. They list all vegan/GF beers on the board for those with preferences. Even better there's a house doggie and some cats! Can't wait to make this my second home 🥰
Great pub. Lots of character. Lots of events going on there. Didn't eat. Just had some great beer.
