Bristol's famous 'cat pub' is a small and quirky free house in a Victorian terrace, featuring not only its many feline residents roaming free, but also glowing portholes in the wooden floor and an eclectic music mix played on a record player. Six changing cask ales are served, both from local breweries and elsewhere, usually including a dark beer. Various bottled beers are also available. No draught lager is sold. Tuesday is quiz night, and a small upstairs room hosts poker and games nights, and occasionally live music. Board games and a Lego collection are available for customers. The pub sometimes hosts tap takeovers. Due to the ever-present cats, dogs are not welcome. No children under 14.
