A very nice pub which felt a little out of place on a main drag in Bristol. The beer garden is very nice and quiet that I was unaware of any traffic. The bar staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a good drinking experience.

A cosy and traditional bar whose decor would make it seem quite at home in a country village rather than a busy main road in to Bristol. At the front is a carpeted area with wood panelling covering the walls from floor to ceiling, making is reminiscent of a hotel drawing room.

Elsewhere there are bare boards on the floor and much wood elsewhere, with a wood panelled bar counter, wooden shelf around the top and many wooden beams on the ceiling, some adorned with fairly lights. There was even an arched section of roof at one point in the middle of the pub. At the rear is a conservatory with a large, L-shaped white leather sofa which must be a pleasant spot on a sunny day, and this leads in to a garden. Elsewhere was a DJ console and some disco lights on the ceiling hinting at what it might be like on a weekend, a projector and screen (turned off) as well as a food server counter although I suspect that�s only in use on a lunchtime. There was also a selection of minority interest magazines on top of an old beer barrel.

Presumably it�s a Wadworth�s pub as theirs was the only beer available � 6X, Henry�s IPA and Swordfish. The cider was Thatcher�s Gold.

Good beer, character bar. Friendly whether you're a studs and leathers guy or not.

Friendly, well-kept Wadworth pub with rustic interior. Initially didn't realise it became a gay pub in the evening welcoming to all.

Nice friendly pub (for my visit at least.) Weird football commentary accompanies your progress when using the loo.
