| Worth a visit if your in Bristol . A choice of 4 beers 2 from butcombe one from Moor and Cropton Blackout the latter of which i've tried on a few occasions ,and is especialy good . There are two real ciders on. It is a very dark setting with comfy sofa's. A 7+ from me. beatles38 - 19 Nov 2011 13:33 |
| Despite it’s odd name, this seems to be a chilled out and relaxed bar, certainly a great improvement from when it was Edwards. The outside has all been painted in a dark green colour and there are various murals on the walls. Inside there are various bold colours, with many of the walls being a lighter shade of green interspersed with red pillars. The drawings continue inside as well with all sorts of odd artwork painted on the walls. Although all open plan, it’s divided in to several different areas. The lowest level is where the most colourful artwork is, and this is filled with lots of leather sofa’s and low tables. The main bar area has pine flooring and leather bench seating along one wall and a good selection of tables and chairs. Finally there was a curtained off area at one end that was being used by a band on this occasion who were apparently called Wu Lyf. To me he sounded as though he was in agony, but I guess some people may have enjoyed it. This spoilt the ambience slightly, as the music was quite loud in the rest of the pub. Music seems to feature prominently, with flyers on the tables detailing the bands coming up over the next few months, three or four most weeks. There was a basic menu with a good selection of burgers and several sharing platters. The barman seemed more interested in chatting to his mate than bothering to serve anyone, but the barmaid was efficient and helpful. Beers on tap were Deuchars IPA, Black Sheep and Adnams Broadside. Good selection of ciders with Weston’s Traditional Scrumpy, Aspall’s Suffolk, Addlestones, Strongbow and Gaymer’s Pear. Blackthorn - 22 Mar 2011 10:43 |

| Stayed in Bristol for a romantic weekend with my girlfriend and stumbled in here on a Wednesday evening. Great music, friendly staff and comfy seats. Got a bit too comfy and ended up eating here and then staying until closing time. Will go back if I travel to Bristol again. spike45 - 1 Feb 2010 14:16 |
