| Made a special journey out to this pub (via Lawrence Hill train station) and was pleased I did. It's on a main road full of second-hand car showrooms and semi-derelict shops - there's a Tesco and Wetherspoon further up the road. Anyway, it gave me the feeling of being an ex -Oirish style pub with the type of furniture,panelling and bits of -bric-a-brac etc. Perhaps olde alehouse? What ever it had been it is now a welcome Arbor Ales pb with a good range of their local beers available. I tried both the Brigstow bitter and a single hop brew called Bullion. Both were in fine form and I probbaly could have stayed for more! The staff were quite cheery even though they looked as though they were still getting the place ready to trade! (the pub had just opened at 12 noon). There is a pool table and a dart board and although the pub is quite dark inside it is well worth a visit. Several buses stop nearby (44/45 I think). Worth it for the beer alone. mcroyal - 26 Dec 2011 10:42 |
| @charliesmithmufc - please dont be put off by one bad experience of service - you really must have caught 'Harry' on a bad day! i've never felt like that in here - quite the opposite. i can only say how nice it is to have such a friendly and safe local in this part of town - the people that run it are real gents and genuinely seem to want to create a real community pub - well worth checking out! had sunday lunch once also which was v. good. mr_shovel - 28 Aug 2011 17:03 |
| Great beer,nice locals at the bar,nice sounds but the manager type (Harry?) had the manners of a pig. Feeding his face while chatting to his mates and pretending he didn't see us waitng TWICE. "What can I get you?" was truncated to a surly "YES" when he finally could be bothered. The nice barmaid even seemed embarrassed by him. We would have stayed but why bother. A big disapointment. charliesmithmufc - 10 Jun 2011 12:27 |
| A pleasant Arbor Ales pub on the main strip through Redfield. Inside you could be forgiven for thinking you were in a traditional country pub with it beams on the ceiling, dark wooden flooring, wood partitions and an ornate carved wooden bar with hops around the top. Sit in the cosy area at the front of the bar with it’s wood panelling, lots of black and white photos on the wall and a couple of button back leather sofa’s and you could almost imagine you were in an old hotel drawing room. On the left of the pub is an old stone fireplace with a large curved metal chimney and beyond that a pool table. The flooring here was tatty lino which spoilt the look a bit. There were a couple of plasma dotted around which were initially showing the football. When this had finished it was unfortunately left on to show some mindless Saturday night TV talent show with the volume up rather too loudly. There is a band area at the front of the pub, and it looked as though something was being set up ready for later on in the evening. There is also a small courtyard at the back of the pub. The menu was a basic offering chalked up on the board with just a few snack type dishes to keep the hunger at bay. Beers on tap were all from the Arbor Ales stable with their Old Knobbley, Brigstow, Artisan and Metahop. There was also a pump for Hunny Beer although this had run out on our visit. Ciders were Stowford Press and Pheasant Plucker. Blackthorn - 19 Apr 2011 10:32 |
| In a dodgy area of Bristol and it looks a right dump from the outside, and not the sort of place most sensible people would consider visiting, but the ales were well worth drinking, and worth a visit because of that. Dr_Pangloss - 19 Dec 2010 10:30 |
