The Old Station Inn, Bristol

As described by Blackthorn, below, it’s eclectic, eccentric and full of surprises.  There is a small car park at the front which is a bit off-putting at first, but there is a much larger parking area at the back which you don’t see from the road.  The Welsh landlady referred to was great fun and a superb hostess, while the TVs were turned off so people had to talk to one another.  This made for a good atmosphere and the locals were a decent bunch too.   The dartboard on the door looks like it could be interesting. Ales on were Butcombe Gold, which was in perfect condition, and Butcombe Original which was also a decent pint.  The megakeg line-up was Bohemia Craft Lager, Fosters and Stella.  A surprisingly enjoyable visit and one I shall be very happy to repeat, possibly to try the food next time which looked like good value.
