Bar pub in Bristol

“I'm not a pub goer but I won two pizza in a school raffle from this pub so I ordered takeaway.....absolutely delicious pizzas, Loopy lou and lazy pig . Pub had a lovely atmosphere with a roaring fire”

“A beautiful pub full of warmth. Proper friendly pub with delicious and inexpensive food and drink”

“Tiny place. Maybe seats 20 at best. They were setting up a live music night. Won awards for almost a decade. Can see why. Really nice place to stumble on.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“We had a cocktail master class, it was fantastic, couldn’t fault the experience, Seamus was a brilliant host, the drinks and the whole experience was so fun and easy going, drinks were delicious and was great value. After this experience we would definitely return for cocktails. Such a cool little cocktail bar”

“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”

“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.”

“Great foods with full of flavour and fresh ingredients. Been there few times and never been disappointed. Everytime i visit, having a difficulty to choose menu as i want everything on there. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Baby friendly place too.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Both bar and food are amazing! Nick at the bar makes such amazing cocktails and love his recommendations on shots! The burritos are delicious, but they do shut early so make sure you’re there by 8/8.15 latest!”

“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 :))”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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”

“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”

“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.”

“Excellent pub and even better hospitality! With how well run their pub & quiz nights are, you would expect them to have experience having run Lloyd's bar in Bristol!”

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

“Fabulous pub. Great food when they do it. It's not a food pub, but when Ian the landlord cooks, it's always spot on.”

“Amazing proper pub. The pizzas are better than any of the big chains and a lot cheaper! Local ciders and a good range of other drinks. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.Beer garden, Pool table and board games. Overall a great family pub.”

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

“Cosy; compact, expensive bar but well worth a visit. Very friendly if you like socialising- this is for you.”
