Sublime, Bristolback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
For many years this was known as The Bunch of Grapes. Since then it has had various incarnations including Dr. Thirsty’s Surgery and Indigo before ending up as Sublime. It seems to be closed as often as it’s open, and even in it’s current guise I have been past on several evenings and it’s all been shuttered up. Eventually though I found it open on a Saturday afternoon, and ventured in.
The left hand bar, which is also where the bar counter is, is a smallish, square dual aspect room, with some large, arched windows to the left. Both bars have rough wooden flooring and an old fireplace, with the larger bar on the right having a few flagstones at the front. This bar stretches back further, and here the seating is mostly low leather sofas. The paintwork is a cream with chocolate brown detailing to match the sofas, and there are a couple of wooden pillars for support. There is a further room upstairs, although this appears to be “work in progress” at the moment.
The solitary beer on offer was Doom Bar, although unfortunately even this had run out on a recent visit. Ciders were Thatcher’s Gold and Stowford Press.

This" BOG" has been Mulligans,Indigo and is now Sublime since it was last the BOG about 15 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Usually for sale as it is at present and doesn't ever know where its going or what it wants to be. My bottle of lager that I had to drink in the street due to the heat inside wasn't cheap and I wouldn't be ever attracted to revisit.

The review below is for the wrong pub.
Have beena sking the site tro take it down (it was just an honest mistake) for the last year, but still it sits here...

Can't believe no reviews posted.
Opposite stage door of Hippodrome, and decorated with lots of old show posters randomly pasted on the wall.
Staff and clientele tend to the goth, though plenty of other types in as well.
Popular for pre-gig drink, as close to several venues.
Also does 'open mike' talent nights, wherein the deluded but confident strum and caterwaul.
Excellent stuff!
Beer is fine (someone else will have to tell us what) and the atmosphere is pretty friendly.
Suspect a few people were put off when the 'G' fell off the name lettering and wasn't replaced for somje time.
basically, the B O G is a good thing.
