Old Market Tavern, Old Market, Bristol

Pleasing low ceiling traditional interior,with a front section with old armchairs,while as you go further back there are a series of alcoves of various sizes,until you reach a rather unfurnished rear section and doors to a courtyard.The bar is to the right and watch your head on the low beams. Three handpumps but just two working serving Twisted Oak Spun Gold and Sheriff Fatman (NBSS 3.5) .The barman was struggling to pull pints from either pump despite his dad having changed a barrel so service was very slow,but the beer tasted good. Not very busy but maybe the lack of food on Sunday lunchtime played a part.Gay friendly without being in your face,a decent pub in the Old Market strip.

The Old Market Tavern is a decent looking pub that is named after the street it is on. This pub is a Wadworth tied house so i was well pleased,once inside there is a long narrow room which runs to the rear,the floor is bare boarded,the seating is wood bench type on the left side,the rear area is up one step where there are normal tables and chairs. There were three real ales on the bar all from Wadworths,i had a drink of Wadworth Henrys IPA which went down well,the other beers were 6X and Swordfish. There was background music playing which was a good job as the pub was empty on my Saturday afternoon visit. I quite liked this pub. Pub visited 25/6/2016
