Small green interiored pub with Bath ales on - all new to me as I'm not a local. Tried the Arbor ales Green Bullet, my first from that brewery and jolly nice it was too! Vinyl playing was a novelty. When I was here 4 years ago I'm sure it was red with b&w prints of movie and pop stars on.
|
small pub, cosy, has a vinyl record collection that customers can select and play! 4 handpumps biased towards Bath Ales, quality was excellent, had a change of ownership so excluded from GBG but hoping to get into 2011 edition.
|
Returned,staff more friendly than previous visits. Ale was Teignworthy Neap Tide and was reasonable. Bath ales(zzzz) also available. Several "former" Kings Head and 7 Stars punters in. Hmm.....
|
Nice friendly little pub with good value Bath Ales - £2 a pint on Monday.
|
Doombar, Bath Spa & Gem, Pontypridd (Otley) O-Garden. The latter was available from the cellar and, when this was offered, I first thought he said Hoegarden but glad I eventually tried it, very flavoursome, & later available on handpump. Clips above the till showed what was coming next – Darkstar Meltdown, Yeovil Posh IPA, Otley O2, RCH Double Header. Tiny pub with wall banquettes surrounding 4 tables and, well, that’s it. Friendly service from the Polish(?) couple, a notice behind the bar announced bookings were being taken for ‘Christmas Breakfast’, champagne etc, which was declared excellent by American, Brislington Lyn (“one n – I’m poor”) in the other group last Sunday lunch. Homemade specials board showed sponge pudding, £1.50 after yr Sunday roast. I reckon 20 customers would fill this place, maybe that happens on Happy Mondays; £2 pints all day. I didn’t notice the aforementioned gramaphone, but this visit followed a very late night. On leaving, I was disproportionately pleased that Lyn recognised my username when I said I’d include her in the BITE review, haha.

Another small pub, in which this part of the country seems to excel. I’d had a few by the time we got here but still managed a good pint of the 5.5% Cheddar Goats Leap. Well I needed something strong with a_e_m spinning the vinyl.
|
Stopped off for a quick pint on the way back to my hotel not long after 10 pm to find the barman in the process of shutting-up shop despite still having quite a few customers in. Fortunately, he said "you've just made it" and went inside this cozy little corner pub. A reasonable selection of Bath Ales and other local beers. Enjoyed my pint of something I think was called Seven Maidens Mild (but a subsequent internet search didn't produce any details).
|
Boxing matches aside,the Bridge is still ok,the RCH guest beer lately has been good. The music can be only described as rubbish though,not fitting the clientelle so probably the barmans choice. (Thank god for the gramaphone!)Still reasonable overall but not the mecca that the previous poster/business development manager professes.
|
The Bridge has been run by some young Polish people for a while now and they took sometime to settle in after Rab left. But now I think it has got excellent again.
The basic Gem & Spa are always on good form and the third handpump now does regular (and unusual) guest beers. A fourth handpump for guest beers is planned, Prices are very good for a city centre (Spa £2.40 and Guests £2.60). It has not turned into a Polish pub and a very mixed clientele drink here (suits & hard hats in the same pub!). Food is good basic pub fayre. Always worth going to when doing a Redcliffe crawl.
And don't forget the turntable and the very mixed collection of vinyl that you can play yourselves!!

Nice pub, good little atmosphere, not the best around but good enough
|
Ive got to say this pub IS not worth 7.9 /10 ,the people that give it this mark , should get out and about a bit ,that said a small pub , all bath ales spa was £2.30 a pint , i'm not saying this this is the worst pub in bristol , but 7.9 come on
|
Eccentric little place this - don't know if they have stopped the guest beers but only Bath Ales on when we were there however, the ones we tried were in excellent condition) Nice chap serving at the bar who Mrs Dandillus got chatting to. Possibly the only pub where you would see an old Groundhogs LP used as decoration.
|
Small, friendly local pub. Very handy for city centre hotels, 3 bath beers on Tap. Worth a look if you are walking up to Cornubia or Seven Stars
|
Excellent little pub. Orgasmic pint of Bath Festivity.
|
Yes I've also always had good experiences here but always found it better if the owner,Rab,is on the premises. The Bath ales are always good,and a guest occasionally appears,Tring being a frequent visitor. Record player(with Roxy Music and Led Zepplin lps!!!) available for general use,you can even bring your own records.
|
a selection of perfectly kept ales from Bath and Skinners Brewery, very friendly staff
|
the three tables outside virtually triple the maximum occupancy, great tasting pint of butcombe blonde was quaffed at this bath ales pub last saturday. friendly staff and visitors make it very welcoming 4 a first time visitor too, 7/10
|
Teeny-tiny basic pub which served up the best pint of Bath ale I had all trip over Christmas (and I had a few).
Check out the view from the bridge, especially of the historic lead shot tower, which happily has a grade listing.
Walkable from the town centre and Bristol Temple Meads - make sure you try it.
|
Small. Very, very small - tiniest pub in the whole of Bristle in fact. Great little boozer, beer always in good nick here and food nice too. Probably the best pub in the area these day's and well worth a look should you be visiting central Bristle.
|
Great beer, good music and attentive bar staff. One of the best in Bristol 9/10
|
Wandered once by accident and honestly think this might be the best pub in Bristol. Small, friendly, well-kept and the barman actually had conversations with the customers and popped back when he could see my glass getting empty. Simply haven't seen another pub like this for years - keep up the the good work!
|
Smallest pub I've ever had the pleasure to go to. Good choice of ales (Bath Ales). Good atmosphere with some blokes playing cards for pennies. Great for a quick drink but may be unsuitable for groups of more than 3!
|
It really is tiny, but very jolly with it.
Good Bath Ales.
Tables on the pavement in summer don't really evoke that continental vibe, but nice enough even so.
|
Its size and unpretentiousness might out some folk off, but the Bridge Inn is a must for lovers of well-kept Bath Ales, and those who appreciate the atmosphere created by a good local crowd, which keep it earthy yet not rough. Maybe not a place for an all-nighter, but certainly one for a crawl.
|
If you like drinking with someone elses elbow in your face then this is the pub for you... its tiny! The Bath Ales are kept very well though and the atmosphere is good. Well worth seeking out but the landlords choice of music may not be to everyones tatse.
|
Tiny pub, but well kept Bath Ales!
|
This is a sensational pub. Excellent beer from Bath Ales, nice and small, very friendly. Excellent on a winters eve!
|
Among the smallest pubs in Bristol, this is a little beauty. Bath SPA, Gem and Barnstormer are on handpump here, and served with a smile by friendly bar staff. The walls are covered with movie posters and a fruit machine and tv provide entertainment. No evening food, but rudimentary lunches are offered. Approximately half a mile from Bristol TM station.
