Portwall Tavern, Bristol

looks like its going to be more from the outside, has the feel of a micro pub inside, one room, not much character, map mural on rear wall. Well kept beer and worth visiting for that

Portwall Tavern is a thin single room pub with bar counter in the left rear corner that supports a premium keg range alongside four handpumps. One of these was off which left Unity Brewery’s Summer Pale, Good Chemistry Time Lapse and Twisted Oak Long Hot Summer as the cask options. Food is available, the basic menu revolves mainly around pizza and ciabatta. Some chilled dance music was playing in the background and the television was off and projector screen rolled up. Not sure what they’re used for as this place doesn’t advertise live sport. Out the front are some jumbrella covered picnic tables that were busy than inside the pub on the sunny afternoon I visited. The service was polite and I’d pop back in if passing.

A narrow fronted pub but hard to miss as it is now painted in a bright azure blue. Inside its a fairly basic single room with some ornate floor tiling, normal tables and chairs provide sensible seating, the bar is at the far left hand side of the room and boasts four handpumps, my visit was about 10.00 in the morning for a decent breakfast and just two beers were on from Goffs and Bristol Beer Factory. I was the only customer in at that time so I can only imagine there would be a decent atmosphere with a few punters in.
