Large and airy street corner pub, popular with local residents and students, just down the road from Gloucestershire County Cricket ground. There is a carpeted lounge at the front, with an eight table pool room at the back, and a further four tables upstairs. Cask beers are dispensed from a second bar round to one side. Large screen TVs show sport of all kinds and, as its name would suggest, sporting memorabilia and trophies abound. Opens at 11am when Bristol Rovers are at home.

Information for this venue is provided by the Bristol & District Branch of CAMRA
