STOP PRESS!!! Rating and review downwardly revised,absolutely disgusting gents with urinal full of orange mould,not cleaned for eons. Cubicle out of service,with an ignorant "Consult google maps for alternative facilities" unfunny printed notice on the door. What is the cellar and kitchen hygiene like I ask? Definitely not good value at £3 plus a pint now! Avoid.

Most reviews are correct. Nowadays £3.50 though for Landlord-WTF! My Cheddar Potholer was excellent at £2.90. Though the bargirl was bemused somewhat after my response to her "anything else" on ordering my pint being "no thank you,just one at a time please." Strange observation though about Cheddar Ales-why are they only available in pubs in Bristol that make your wallet cry? No grub being eaten but plenty little waifs giggling and making noise over crisps,crunchies and halfs of cider. Could do better,and should do better at the price. But good ale no doubt.

Basically a pub for the upwardly-mobile boho ale drinker, which is reflected in the achingly trendy muzak, stripped back interior and the expensive prices.

Nonetheless the ales available are usually in excellent condition and they carry the sublime Butts' Barbus Barbus. The staff are also polite and courteous, so that's always worth a couple of extra pence on the pint price in my opinion.

So whilst this is an essential stop-off for a pint of the Barbus, there won't many of you who feel they could afford to stay for more than a couple, especially with the Eldon House and Bag O Nails only a couple of minutes away in either direction. It is still a fine place though.

Drink reguarly in this area , and visit this pub reguarly because of the excellent beer they serve , polite ,and friendly Beer staff.Downside - meal I had for the first time in ages still lousy , chops weak ,should have had a steak knife , chips tasted like they had had been hanging around for ages, not even trying to compensate quantity for quality ,as only had 3 pork chops instead of 4 , also less salad,and chips , although as they were so naff , perhaps that wasn't such a bad thing . as said beer excelent , food awful .9/10 for beer 1/10 for food.

Called in last month and had a Bristol Beer Factory beer that was in good condition. Pricey though.
