Nice Greene King Pub. Apparently the oldest in Bristol. Nice roaring fire. A bit difficult to get a seat (29th Dec 5pm ish) , upstairs seating closed. Cheers

Great selection of drinks and a really good Guinness. The atmosphere is lovely and the decoration gives it a proper traditional pub feel. Definitely a nice spot to stop for a pint in Bristol.

Super cozy historical pub in the heart of Bristol, wide variety of drinks served by friendly staff. The Christmas decorations really create a magical vibe!

Cosy. To be honest after a few visits over a week it is hit or miss based on staff and what’s happening re bookings (and this is nothing that the tavern can control but interesting to see “reservations on all tables” but not occupied and reactions when community enters). Top floor seems to be guaranteed offering of tables up stairs (careful vertigo). We ate the pie and fish N chips both amazing. Fries v chips a difference, note to self pay attention. Love the celebration of Christmas. All round a fan but beware of nuances.
