The Old Mill, Bristol

Large open plan bar with very limited seating, although there was also a back bar so that may have had more. There was a large plasma stuck on the wall showing football and the volume seemed to be rather high, especially as there were only about half a dozen people in there. The barman was outside having a fag when we arrived which doesn't create a fantastic impression, but he arrived quickly enough to serve us. Unusual bar top made of metal - not anything classy like polished aluminium perhaps, but something cheap and nasty. It remined me of the metal they use for some gent's urinals. Ciders were Gaymer's Pear, Natch and Blackthorn. The only beer was Bass, but even that was served through a lager style font rather than a proper hand pump so I don't know what it would have tasted like.
