Bristol's famous 'cat pub' is a small and quirky free house in a Victorian terrace, where its many feline residents roam free and often curl up in their nests on the bar. It also features glowing portholes in the wooden floor and an eclectic music mix played on a record player. Six changing cask ales are served, both from local breweries and elsewhere, usually including a dark beer. Various bottled beers are also available. No draught lager is sold. Tuesday is quiz night. Board games are available for customers, with a Board Games night every Wednesday. Due to the ever-present cats, dogs are not welcome. No children under 14.
