| Looks like it's just undergone a renovation. 4 Butcombe pulls in superb condition. Toilets were from a different dimension...! Toooo quiet though, in fact more quiet than a Steve Brookstein fan club convention...exacerbated by being too dark given there was only four people in it. Apart from a super pint there just wasn't anything to get me excited for more. I'll try again and see if it's any livlier. Quinno - 4 Jan 2007 23:29 |
| I hardly ever came here in the '90s as a student. But since then, this has grown from being a nondescript local before the Butcombe days to a smart, well-run house offering excellently-kept ale, and a convivial environment which is enjoyed by a broad mix of people, who all appear to get on well with each other, in their mutual appreciation of what the Bell now offers. I confess that the area is somewhat deprived, and it's rather dilapidated appearance doesn't look like it would be home to such a quality establishment, but it just goes to show that it's never wise to judge a neighbourhood, or a pub, by its cover. Well done folks. TWG - 17 Oct 2006 17:29 |
| Probably Bristol's best pub. Ignore the area it's in as there's never any trouble from the homeless hostel down the road - Marion always sorts them out! A mixture of long term locals, office workers, students, musicians, artists and generally cool people frequent the place. Open late most nights - until 1am on friday & saturday. DJ's on 5 nights a week, nothing too mental, all cool tunes. One handsome chap plays some good stuff every other friday - DJ iyers! :P Westons Organic in bottles and Ashton Press on tap keeps me happy. Full range of Butcombe beers for the real ale buffs and Stella, Fosters & San Miguel for lager types. Gurt mint. iyers - 11 Jul 2006 12:43 |

| I love this place. Marion (the owner/landlady) rules. I left Bristol for London for 5 years ago and still feel as welcome in there as I did when I lived so close I could see the garden from my bedroom window. If anyone knows of anywhere half as good as this place in London. Let me know!! tomgooding365a - 6 May 2006 08:49 |
