Bar pub in Bristol

“Lovely little place on an industrial estate in Bradford on Avon. I had the amber lager and hubby a Stout, really good and made on the premises. Really friendly staff that showed us to a bench alongside the canal. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. It's only a small place but packs plenty of punch.”

“What a great little gem of a place, south of the river. Alpha is run by a fantastic friendly team and the selection of beers is excellent.”

“The staff were busy preparing the venue for opening their tap room at the time of the visit, but the space already looks amazing. Currently, bottles of their mead and beer are available for takeaway from the Meadery/Brewery and via their website. Keep up the great work.”

“Review by Benjamin Chappell, age 9 (wannabe food reviewer). I came to the Falcon Steakhouse with my mum. I ordered the Falcons Famous Dipster Steak Sandwich and the death by chocolate cheese cake, it was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and was soooo tasty. The cheesecake was incredible, my mum had to say “Benjamin stop licking the plate”. We couldn’t fault a single thing!! Thank you.”

“Had a lovely couple of Ghibli (we’re Ghibli fans) themed drinks. I had an Arrietty (reminded me of my own garden in summer and the cup and saucer it was served in gave it a dainty feel) and my partner had a No Face cocktail served in a clay pot which caused a really interesting discussion about depth of flavour / character. Service was attentive and very welcoming.”

“I went here with my partner for his birthday and honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was just spot on, stylish without being pretentious, buzzing but still intimate enough for a date night. Our host sam was great, you can tell he genuinely knows his stuff, especially when it comes to the steaks. We went for his recommendations: the padron peppers, short rib croquettes, the tomahawk steak, and for dessert, the cheesecake and chocolate delice. Every single dish was unreal. The steak especially was next level, cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. The service felt personal and relaxed, and the staff clearly take pride in what they do. They also catered to my partners food allergy and were attentive throughout. For the quality of food, the atmosphere, and the level of care, the price was completely reasonable. You can tell it’s somewhere that values both experience and craft. Thanks pasture!! X”

“Wow! So good! Came here for a birthday dinner and had the best time. I’d highly recommend. The food was impeccable, my partner is a vegetarian and had the most amazing dining experience, we usually spend our time in restaurants talking and talking but we were totally silent for about half an hour as we ate. Everything was incredibly delicious, my fillet steak was to die for! However, our favourite part was the incredible service. From the minute we stepped in the hostess was welcoming and friendly, she was so lovely and set a high standard of high quality. Our waitress Meg was incredible. She was very kind and friendly, she really made the night for us. A big thanks to all the staff working tonight, especially the woman who recommended our wine, as they truly made the experience wonderful. We will definitely be back! The staff really do work hard and it shows, everyone was so so lovely. If you’re in the Clifton area PLEASE go to this restaurant you won’t regret it. 10/10”

“Unbelievable experience. Lucky and Carlos are the two kindest people I’ve ever met. Service and food were amazing they were very attentive and couldn’t do enough I’d recommend this restaurant over and over again. My partner and I came here for our anniversary and they made it a night we’ll remember forever.”

“Really enjoyed our dinner here, lovely wine with a great selection and they spoke us through each choice. Great French food, I’d highly recommend”

“Love going to Bristol Rovers to support my team (Exeter City) with my son. Not just because we usually come away with 3 points :) but also because we get to visit the Drapers Arms before and after the game. It’s usually busy on match day but never too much so. Great atmosphere, fantastic choice of great ales, always in perfect condition. The owner/landlord always makes us welcome (we tell him we are ‘away’ supporters) and takes time to tell us about the beers on offer. One of my favourite pubs (and I’ve been in a few!). Haven’t tried food. Highly recommend”

“Beautiful setting, beautiful venue, delicious food, such a great find. Can't say enough good things. Had a lovely date night and will for sure bring back family and friends :) my new favourite place!”

“Great place to enjoy a well made cocktail or whiskey. The bartender was very knowledgeable and made the experience an excellent one. Not cheap but IMHO money well spent”

“Fab! Quirky pub in central Bristol, 'cosy' seating indoor & out, great beers. I am not a regular in Bristol but really enjoyed Good Chemistry Brewing on draft. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.”

“Ordered 5 pizzas over the phone and the last one came out of the oven exactly 20 minutes later when I walked through the door for pickup. Perfect timing. Really nice food. We had a selection and everyone was happy. Will be back”

“The food was incredible and we will be back! I recommend it to anyone who wants authentic Italian food. The staff are friendly and welcoming and I was able to practice my Italian. I was really happy with our meal”

“Simple menu but the food did not disappoint. Experienced the shared starters followed by shared 500g sirlion Hereford steak with fries and salad. Terrific. Deserts were e excellent and finished off the evening perfectly.”

“We had a truly exceptional dining exeperience. It was our anniversary dinner, my husband requested we have a glass of sparkling wine upon arrival which was very kindly prepared for us. The occassion was acknowledged throughout our meal, with a “happy anniversary” message on our dessert plates. Such a lovely touch. Staff were incredibly friendly and knowleadgeble, we felt very well looked after. We started with the selection of breads with soft basil butter. It was a great variety of fresh bread and breadsticks. We both had the scallops for our starters, a nice mix of well balanced flavours and excellent nduja! The mains (duck, venison) were perfectly cooked medium rare with lovely sauces and flavours. The only item we would skip next were the confit potatoes, which unfortunately were undercooked and did not have much of a taste to them. Our desserts were a tiramisu and the pistachio eggnog mousse, both perfectly light and not too sweet but well balanced. We finished our meal with limoncello (as you do). Everything was top quality and full of flavour. The wine selection was interesting, great variety especially on the bottled special wine list, with very reasonable prices. We went with their recommendations for each meal and the pairings they suggested were great. The restaurant is on the smaller side and the table we were seated was on the smaller end, however this did not take away from the enjoyment. We could tell how serious they take their food, service and customers. The restaurant is expensive but you get what you pay for. We can’t wait to be back.”

“In 2025, this was the best pub food I had whilst visiting England and Wales! Highly recommended.”

“Really enjoyed my fitting with Joe, we looked at numerous irons and shafts, he clearly explained the lofts, lie angles etc… and we found an iron that really suited my swing. Would highly recommend a club fitting with him”

“This place continues to be the best fine dining experience around. The menu is compact and exquisite and everything is cooked to perfection. The wine list is very comprehensive and advice is offered on pairing with the menu. All in all the best place to eat in Thornbury.”

“Fantastic bar. Very knowledgeable and engaged staff. Fantastic cocktail selection and a great combination of local drinks, spirits and bar snacks. Decor is funky and fun, individual and in keeping with the feel of the place. Highly recommended. Do visit and enjoy. Plus they have Octomore Whisky!!!”

“Fantastic wine, and the atmosphere feels like being invited into someone's home. Very personal and friendly.”

“Cracking little micropub clearly well supported by the local community. Full at 6pm on a Wednesday and lovely beer. Highly recommended!”

“Had a perfect cappucino, i know sounds silly but the amount of places that make it like a latte, so here is a proper coffee house that know how to deliver your coffee. We also had an amazing banana cake. The food coming out looked amazing too. If i lived here i would be in everyday. Well worth a visit. Lots of sitting inside.”

“What a great little boozer. Lovely busy atmosphere, friendly staff and good beer.”

“Coffee + Beer is fantastic! Was my go to coffee place over the last year. They have an amazing variety of coffee beans which constantly changes. Being new to coffee it was just so cool to get this varied variety of beans to try ! The staff were always lovely and helpful and great to chat to! Always very helpful in answering questions on all things coffee :))”

“Absolute gem of a micro-pub in the least expected place. We regularly visit as either a family, with friends or on our own and are never short of a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. The beer choices are fantastic and rotate regularly, and there is a tasty lager permanently on for those who prefer, so everyone is catered for. Dogs and children (until 8pm) are welcome, there’s a great selection of board games and snacks too. Would highly recommend a visit!”

“Came here a few times and it’s a great crafty place! Good selection on keg and a good fridge full for everything else! Lovely chilled out atmosphere… highly recommend”

“Fantastic food, good service. The chef was saying about making corned beef hash and bubble and squeak (with a mushroom, tomato and poached egg topping). I was very happy and can't wait to go back.”

“Fantastic tour!! A must do in Bath!! Ed our guide was knowledgeable and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food establishments we went to were top notch!! Definitely worth doing every visit to Bath!”
