Friendly service and decent food, cider and beer at fair prices. Beer a bit boring (Butcombe and Courage Best) but tastes fine. A proper pub just off the centre of Bristol.

Probably the only pub in Bristol where you're always half expecting to bump into an Orc. Good cheap beer, hideous food, good atmosphere on Friday and Saturday nights. Stays open late and doesn't charge you to get in. The bouncers have a bit of a reputation for being heavy-handed, although things seem to have improved. The private function room upstairs usually has interesting things happening during the weekends.

Popped in one gloomy Sunday afternoon during the winter. Almost entirely empty and bar staff seemed preoccupied with matters other than us. Food not especially inspiring and there was a general air of complacency. I suppose we were meant to find the notices of local legends about the pub dotted around the walls entertainment enough. Perhaps we will try again, but then again perhaps not.

Excellent pub for a well priced lunchtime drink and snack. Food was very good, quickly prepared and very reasonably priced.

Went in for a late drink at the weekend and found a good mix of people downstairs. Upstairs with the pool tables was a bit aggressive, but what do you expect from a pub in the town centre late at the weekend?

Living on Park Street this year, so this is my local (well, that and all the other bars on Park Street itself!) Gets VERY busy on Saturdays. As has already been said, a diverse crowd awaits, but are friendly and welcome newcomers! Serves a good pint of lager :o)

Looks can be deceptive. Olde Worlde from the outside, alternative punters inside , beer good, wasn't there long enough to see it in full swing, but recommended.

Really good pre club pub. Great place to people watch as the regulars are a strange bunch to say the least. Music is excellent on weekends and it's open til late :)

The main front door was, and still is underneath all the layers of paint, lined with Human Flesh from Ye Olde Days.

Probably best known for its rock nights on Friday and Saturday nights, when it opens until 1am. Early in the evening it's generally frequented by people going to a gig at Bristol Academy, but later it's generally the haunt of indie-kids, goths and rockers of all ages.

A wonderful old Elizabethian boozer, with a large rambling interior. Looks a little battered inside, but makes up for it with a great atmosphere. Has a late licence at weekends so can get rather crowded.
