About

A no-frills Bristol dive bar known for draft beer, cocktails, live music and a popular pub quiz; reviewers mention free vegan chilli at quiz nights. Street-side outdoor seating is a draw, though tables fill quickly and indoor seating is limited, and recent feedback is mixed on whether food is consistently available.
