Mall, Clifton Village, Bristol

Renovated and reopened since the previous review, but the layout is much as before, just with refreshed decor. The basement garden had been made more of a feature, though, with covered benches and tables and a 'grand entrance' from Suspension Bridge Road. It is now owned by Mitchell's and Butler's. The majority of customers were couples in their thirties when we visited, so it had a relaxed feel to it, though I suspect it gets a bit more rowdy at weekends. The young staff were helpful and pleasant though not chatty. Two ales on, Butty Bach, which was in good condition, and Butcombe Original. On keg were Asahi, Pravha, Madri, Guinness, Neck Oil, Aspall's Cider, Lucky Saint and Peroni. Prices were very high for the area, so given the availability of other pubs nearby I shan't be rushing back.
