Cask Ale Real Cider
Real ale discount scheme

Tucked away in a quiet side street, it is very close to Cabot Circus/Broadmead shops and buses, and convenient for Old Market and its buses. Over 300 years old and listed. As well as a range of changing beers, including a dark one, there is a changing cider. There are 2 annual beer & cider festivals with 25 plus ales, featuring local breweries and cider producers, held in the large fully enclosed, paved and heated garden. In the summer there are Saturday, live, Sound Sessions and Sunday DJ sessions. Monday is quiz night. Sunday roasts are hugely popular, booking recommended. Other food offerings include vegan options. The pub has, for it's own use, a small scale brewery, in an adjacent shipping container. May close earlier on Sundays if quiet.
