| As beatles38 has said, this is now The Bristol Cider House. Interior wise nothing much has changed, it�s still a pleasant and attractive pub albeit with a fairly limited amount of seating in the main bar. Upstairs there�s another room with some more seating and a cosy looking snug (this may actually be their conservatory � it was dark when we visited, so this was not obvious). There was an open mic night on a recent Thursday evening visit, and they run a cider festival every Saturday. This looks like a good deal, with free entry, a hog roast and 20 local ciders on offer. Landlord is pleasant and friendly. My only criticism would be the smell from the gent�s loos which was still noticeable when sat half way down the pub. The solitary beer on tap was Moles Best. Regular ciders on tap were Thatcher�s Pear, Thatcher�s Gold, Stowford Press and Black Rat. Ciders straight from the barrel on this occasion were (deep breath)� Janet�s Jungle Juice, Moonshine, Black Rat, Cheddar Valley, Thatcher�s Heritage, Old Bristolian, Bristol Port Cider, Legbender Farmhouse, Rich�s Farmhouse, Heck�s Farmhouse, Broadoak, Kingston Black and Thatcher�s Draft. I can�t ever remember seeing such an impressive collection as that, even in The Orchard. Blackthorn - 15 Oct 2010 10:58 |

| This is a cracking pub in a quite unexpected area. Well worth searcing out as an alternative to the chain bars in Cabot Circus. They have a reasonable range of proper beers and ciders, and a small food menu. They do a few Pie Minister pies, and a few other pub favourites like chilli, etc. Apparently they have an outside terrace, but I've been there when it's cold and dark so can't comment on this. Friendly landlord, and they also offer wine tasting and cider tasting evenings for groups of 10+. They bill themselves as the village pub in the heart of the city, and that's a fairly good description, it's certainly unlike anything else nearby. Blackthorn - 15 Dec 2008 17:13 |
