I stand corrected......... Like a man in orthapaedic shoes.
It's undergone some transformation, they've been working on it for a while.
Not sure about things on the beer front as I've not been in yet, but with regards to the wine, cheese and charcuterie I've seen some very complimentary reviews and it's been busy which is a good sign.
It looks like they've done well with the place which is great to see. Shall go check it out and report back.

Hi Cliftonclive. Yep, it was shutdown around Christmas. A shame really as Rob had done well with what he had to work with and it was a good laugh with the regulars.
I live very locally and we've just had a notice of planning for 9 flats above the pub (they haven't made their plans for the actual pub clear yet but how else are people going to access the 9 flats?) so it seems obvious it will be finished.
However, I along with a few others that I have spoken to oppose the planning applications so we'll see what that brings.

The Bristol Fringe Cafe Bar, Bristol
Used to be great, good atmosphere for the footy with a decent pint of ale.
Now, it isn't.
Beer poor, it's tatty and needs a decent clean and the huge screen at the back while not bad for sport is ruined by the fact that the only sound is a tinny noise that comes out of the projector itself.
It's like having the sound of a 80's portable on a 50"tv in your front room.
Shockingly bad, will not be back.

Had a complete refurb after being shut for a few months. Haven't yet been to have a nose so will update when I do, or maybe someone will beat me to it? :-)

Beer is varied and well kept (especially TT Landlord) and although you might pay a few pence more for a pint here, if food is on the agenda then this place is definately worth a look.
Huge portions of quality food, pub grub the way it should be.
A lovely little back garden up a few steps with lots of little benches amongst the greenery, well worth a visit.
P.S. Try the home made chilli burger, fantastic!

Friendly landlord, pub recently changed hands I think.
A decent beer is on offer here with a few ales to choose from. They offer regular drinks promotions and overall prices are low to start with.
For those that don't fancy the sometimes rowdiness of Roo-Bar, Sloanes etc, you may be interested to know that this pub has just installed Sky Sports.
Pool table has recently been removed but the dart board remains if you want to throw a few arrows.

From what I've heard, just changed hands, might explain stock issues from recent reviews.
Was a fair pint at a fair price with a friendly barmaid.
An all round fairly decent boozer.

Great beer, Roger is a fantastic landlord, friendly customers and some great homemade grub. Everything about this pub is spot on.
Yes it's a little more expensive drinks wise than some of the other pubs in the locality (as some of you have pointed out), but I don't mind paying extra for a decent beer in nice, clean, friendly surroundings.
Also, there's always a beer on offer at �2.50 so something for everyone.
Top marks.

This is one of the best pubs I have ever been, and will ever go to.
Fantastic ale, beautifully looked after by Dee and Paul in a wonderful cosy atmosphere. In the winter they have the open wood burning fire going which is fab, and it's just as nice for a lazy evening summer drink.
A credit to Clifton, and if you like your ale and a warm welcome you'd be silly to miss out. 10/10

Coach & Horses, Clifton
Beer is great, atmosphere is great, open fire for winter, outside sunny space for summer.
Always service with a smile and a bit of banter, the food (especially the Sunday roast) is fantastic. Well kept ales and ciders, all rasonable priced for the area.
They've recently launched a new menu, the wife and I had the piri piri chciken last night, it was flawless.
This is easily the best pub in the local area and on a par with some of the best in Bristol. In my all time top 5!
