This cosy split-level pub, hidden just off the city centre, has welcomed drinkers since the 17th century and is one of Bristol's heritage treasures. The compact drinking areas reveal many original features and the top level includes a dining area. The food and drink are sourced locally where possible. At least four real ales in a variety of styles are served from the lower bar (although these can also be ordered from the upper bar), including house 'Crack' ales brewed for the pub by Twisted Oak. A number of local, regional and national craft keg beers are also available. Card payments only.
