Kings Head, Bristol

An excellent historic and atmospheric alehouse with a long narrow bar, featuring an amusing partitioned section known as 'The Tramcar'. A very friendly welcome too! Regular ales appear to be HPA, Castle Rock, London Pride and Harvey's Best with a changing guest which on this occasion was Hog's Back TEA. The HPA was in excellent form so I was obliged to have a second...

My second visit to this pub, the first being on the PuG tour some five years ago, back then it was the last pub of the crawl and I remember very little about it. So on my revisit I found a cosy narrow, carpeted traditional pub, the beer selection was also on the traditional side of things so I went for the relatively racey selection of Timothy Taylors Knowle Spring. A pleasant pub.

The Kings Head is a nice looking old pub that is a short walk to of from Temple Meads station. Once inside the bar is to the front left,there is a narrow area by the bar with the rear area being more comfortable and cosy with it being carpeted and having comy bench seating and small stools. There were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Castle Rock Harvest Pale to see if it travelled well,it did,the other beers were Hogs Back TEA,Harveys Best and Sharps Atlantic. There was decent background music playing. This is a very pleasant and comfortable pub to have a drink in. Pub visited 25/6/2016
