Real ale discount scheme

Tucked away in a quiet side street, it is very close to Cabot Circus/Broadmead shops and buses, and convenient for Old Market and its buses. Over 300 years old and listed. Volly Pale, brewed on site in an adjacent shipping container, is a regular beer, alongside three guest ales. There are also two changing real ciders and 12 keg lines. There are two annual beer & cider festivals with 25 plus ales, featuring local breweries and cider producers, held in the large fully enclosed, paved and heated garden. In the summer there are Saturday live Sound Sessions. Monday is quiz night, with Beer Garden Gaming on offer on Tuesday, and Music Bingo on Thursday evenings. Sunday roasts are hugely popular, with booking recommended. Other food offerings include vegan options. Dogs are welcome
