The Three Tuns, Hotwells

I agree with previous post and well done LukeD for spotting the grudgebearer. I have always had excellent beer and service here, and thought the post by Nova7 a bit odd, but didn;t realise he left another negative one for Arbor's other pub, the Old Stillage. Nova7 obviously has an axe to grind and, message to other punters, don't let this put you off a visit to this pub. You could also walk up the road to visit the Bag O Nails too, but don't be too drunk when you get there (hey, LukeD, only kidding!)

The Robin Hood's Retreat, Bishopston

The beer selection today was very poor - 3 out of 8 on, with the choice being Bombardier, Bob, and one from Thwaites's. The one served was just about OK. Pity, as this used to be a pub that took its ale seriously. Worse, were the smokers outside in the 'non-smoking' area. I pointed this out to the bar person who said, no, it was OK to smoke there. What about the signs said I? (there are two very visible signs stating no smoking on the windows) Er, they must be put on the wrong way around. Not a clever answer. Oh dear - at this rate I will be limiting my pub life to about three pubs.....just ongoing crap service, and serving crap produce (see my review of the 'Pump House') Goodbye Robin Hood's sodding Retreat
