Bit of a night-pub, this place is now only open on Friday and Saturday nights. Predictable draughts (Carling, Red Stripe, Grolsch and Stowford Press) but a good, diverse selection of bottled beers - last visit they had Old Thumper, Ginger Beard, Guinness Dublin Porter, Budvar, BrewDog Punk and Dead Pony, Cocker Hoop and more. Friendly and chilled out bar staff, service normally pretty quick considering the huge numbers of people who pack into the place at 2am on a Saturday night.

Total dive. £1 a pint on Mondays and the clientele reflect the cheap, watery Strongbow.

Pleasant and welcoming pub with good food and good - if predictable - beers. Live music nights in the Sshh Bar to the rear of the pub are a rare treat.

Not as bad as it used to be, the Lansdown has been refurbished recently and now carries Brewdog Punk and Dead Pony among other fresh choices.

This place has now opened up as Harry Cook Freehouse. Still a Mitchells and Butlers but now as part of their 'Castle' chain. Doesn't feel chainy though. Great selection of beers - last visit had Blanche de Bruxelles, Brooklyn Lager, Sierra Nevada, Brooklyn 1/2 all on offer next to standards such as Doom Bar etc etc. Food is good enough but nothing to write home about. Staff all very friendly and since the refurb the place has a very pleasant, modern but homey atmosphere.

Great beers, and an even better Sunday roast.
