Popular traditional local in a residential area a short walk from Bedminster and the city centre via Gaol Ferry Bridge. Up to four good value ales are on offer, plus real cider, with a wide range of beer in cans and bottles. TVs show terrestrial broadcast sporting events, and there is a jukebox. Straightforward pub food, with extensive vegan options, is available most evenings, while Sunday roast is now a popular institution. Monday is quiz night. Furnishings are simple and cosy, and licensee Ben is the artist of the eclectic artwork which decorates the walls both inside and out. A small raised seating area behind and to the left of the bar takes you away somewhat from the hubbub. Dogs on leads are welcome and treated with disdain by the pub cat.
