A pub since 1821, with a small downstairs bar and upstairs lounge. The pub combines the feel of a cosy 'proper pub' and Belgian beer bar. Part of a Georgian terrace close to Clifton Suspension Bridge, the main entrance is at lower street level. Steep internal stairs lead to toilets, rear garden (Summer only) and more seating. One permanent (Bristol Beer Factory Fortitude) and two-three changing guests, usually a dark beer during Winter months. Hogans Cider (keg) and Hogans Dry in bottles. Wide range of bottled Belgian beers stocked, plus 8 on tap, one changing. Roasts on Sunday afternoon. Quiz (upstairs lounge) every 1st and 3rd Thursday Autumn-Winter. £5 min. limit on card. No children and no large groups.
