| My companies head office is in Bristol and when I need to go to head office, they book me into the Mercure Holland House Hotel on Redcliffe Hill. I hate hotel bars for many reasons (price, soulless etc) and always try to find somewhere else for a pint. With the Golden Guinea I struck gold (pardon the pun). It is about 100yds away from the hotel and is what I call a proper boozer. I drink cider and if you don't want the standard Addlestones (which is good)fare, they stock at least one barrel-on-the-bar special for the likes of me and you to try and a regular strong cider called Blackbeard. With its strength somewhere in the 8 point somethings, it is wise toonly have one or two. I have also eaten at this pub and although the menu is not extensive, they do serve wholesome food at very reasonable prices. But I have saved the best for last - live proper music!!! The last time I was there, an ensemble of musicians came in to the pub and played traditional English folk music on a variety of instruments - I was blown away. This was a Tuesday night and the music was awesome. The musicians came in, bought a pint, settled down and made exquisite music - there were only a few other punters there but it became obvious that the musicians were playing purely for the love of playing. I was transfixed for a couple of hours and got to know a few of the players (being a musician myself). All in all, a wonderful night. Actuaryman - 2 Apr 2012 01:11 |

| Good drop of beer to be had in this often-overlooked pub. Quite groovy, younger vibe, friendly. curioushistory - 26 Jan 2012 11:56 |
| Never Been to this pub before. Only 2 of the three beers were on, one was something pretty standard the other was wickwar cotswold ,the name escapes me ,as has been said before a tad expensive at �3.10 , that said the quality was very good. The pub also sells a local cider which I shall try on my next visit. Food also i have to say was pretty good. Cliftonclive - 11 Jun 2011 16:52 |
| Nice little backstreet local spoilt only by the thumping music, which is often way too loud. usually has intersting beers, though not always well kept. therealblackbeard - 1 Jun 2011 19:13 |
