Grain Barge, Bristol

Went here (Sat 5th Jan) after the Bag o' Nails and what a difference. The barman was very chatty - although fairly busy - and was keen to talk about Bristol Beer Factory beers (which they seem to feature). The beer I tasted was good and the whole atmosphere very convivial. I shall certainly revisit next time I'm in Bristol.

The Bag O' Nails, Bristol

Called in yesterday (Sat 5th Jan) afternoon where I was the only customer. Nice pub, but the young barmaid made me feel most unwelcome. She completely refused to enter any small talk ("it's quiet today", "have you been busy" etc) and as soon as she had served my beer, went and sat at a table at the back of the bar and looked like she was writing her diary! Didn't even say goodbye when I left.
No wonder some pubs find it difficult to survive if this is their best effort at customer service!

Well, it was open yesterday (Sat 5th Jan) lunchtime. Not very busy, but what a great little pub. 4 real ales
