| A traditional street corner boozer that seems to have remained relatively unaffected by the trendy bars nearby and remains all the better for it. It�s a single room pub with dark wooden flooring, a fire roaring away at one end and some good sized windows to sit and watch the world passing by. There was a plasma up above the door, but fortunately the volume was muted and this was not at all obtrusive. As far as I know, this was the original Irish pub in Bristol, and remains the best. Certainly the Irishness seems more genuine than many of the mass produced bars that have sprung up since, even though the friendly barman was clearly not from the Emerald Isle. The d�cor includes a rather sombre shade of maroon on the ceilings and green paint on the woodwork which closely matches the upholstery on the chairs. There�s some old fashioned wooden shelving above the bar with some interesting stained glass windows. The walls are liberally covered with various Irish memorabilia such as pictures, mirrors, street signs and some old Guinness adverts. There�s a display of old bottles in the window, a selection of board games and even an old violin hanging on the wall just inside the door. The only beer on tap was Courage Best, although there was a second hand-pump that was not in use so there may on occasions be others. The solitary cider was Thatcher�s Gold. However, there was also a �shot of the month� which on this occasion was Blueberry Vodka! Blackthorn - 2 Mar 2011 10:02 |

| Generally a good craic in atmospheric bar..but don't go for the ale! Returned a soup-like pint oif Wickwar, very reluctantly exchanged ("It's meant to look like that") for Courage Best...or was that Sarsons? Swift exit of stout party. curioushistory - 10 May 2010 21:44 |
| Great landlords-just don't bother if they're not in attendance. Ale moderate/mediocre lately. "Enterprise Inns" refurb is apparently not going to be as thorough as needed. Oh well. an_ecunemical_matter - 13 Mar 2009 19:23 |
| The best pub we managed to find in Bristol city centre! Barman was very helpful as we weren't from the area and needed to find our way to the football ground. Also welcomed us to go and get some food from the little market up the road and bring it back to eat in the pub. Worth popping in - Thatchers Gold on tap, and I think two or three real ales. leicester_pubster - 24 Feb 2009 15:57 |
