| Wipe your memory clean of this pub's glorious previous life as a red-nosed Bass drinkers' den and accept it for what it is in 2008: a popular meeting place with a landlord committed to good ale, especially local rarities you won't find elsewhere in the centre of town.

| One of the worst 'renovations' I have ever seen. Just a few years ago this place was precious - a rare gem and you could feel the history seeping from the dark moulded ceilings, flagstone floors and delightful characters that were drawn to the place. It had clearly remained pretty much unchanged since the days when it was genuinely used to find naval recruits in the 18th century. It is now a standardised souless place in comparison. An appauling job that should genuinely have had the owners served with a prosecution order. oliverhylton - 30 Apr 2008 17:24 |
| The last 3 times I've been in The Codrington Codger has been excellent. If you're in Central Bristol you could do far worse than head here and unwind with pint in a big leather chair! strongarmboy - 9 Apr 2008 17:04 |
| Nobody's mentioned if the pub still gets Guiness direct. In the 1950s it got Guiness straight off the ship from the City Docks!! Just memories now brabazon10 - 5 Apr 2008 00:12 |
| Never patronise this 'pub' under any circumstances. A large group of customers, well over 20, were drinking there on a friday night when last orders was called at 1035 because the staff were too lazy to keep working. Time was called at 1045 and they were hassling us to leave before 11. These people have no business being in the pub trade - please do not encourage such shocking behaviour by drinking in this establishment. walshatkins - 8 Mar 2008 00:35 |
