| I have been going to this pub quite regularly, mainly because of the vicinity to university and their good choice of beers. However, yesterday friends of mine were thrown out of the pub for committing the crime of eating food which they did not order at this pub. Why? They were hungry and wanted to order food at the Highbury Vaults, but since the kitchen closes at 8.30, they decided to get food somewhere else and bring it back to eat it in the courtyard. They had had been drinking there for a while and were simply hungry. What a crime to commit. The way they were treated is a disgrace and I will boycott this place from now on. Apparently the landlord is 'liberal' and open minded. Yesterday's experience proved otherwise. very very poor!!! MWarner - 28 Jan 2012 11:08 |
| Gem of a pub - unchanged in decades and oodles of character. Owned by Wells & Youngs, but don't let that put you off - along with their dull offerings they offer a good selection of guests from local breweries. On the expensive side but, nonetheless, highly recommended. baxterfish - 7 Dec 2011 07:09 |
| My first visit and I don't know why I haven't been here before - what a super little pub! Lovely "dark" interior with a tiny little bar at the front and a larger room at the back (split in smaller drinking areas). Courtyard at the rear; bar billiards table; food and a good range of beers despite being a Youngs pub. We had Bath Gem and Spring Tide from Teignworthy. Very cheery young lady behind the bar and although quiet when we visited this would be a great pub at anytime and will become a regular when we next go to Bristol. It is not that far from Clifton Down station or there is a bus nearby but make the effort and give this pub a visit - I think you'll be pleased you did!! mcroyal - 13 Nov 2011 12:23 |
| A pub at the top of st michaels hill , if you don't fancy the walk a number nine bus will get you there. A youngs pub with a few guests a large range, if again somewhat limited. I had teignworthy reel ale. I wouldn't say i was a regular in this pub , but the Kingsdown/cotham area in Bristol is as good as anywhere for real ale and this pub is a must if you decide to visit the area . The quality of ale is always good in this pub. Cliftonclive - 16 Apr 2011 08:45 |
