Seven Stars, Bristol

Seven Stars is down a cobbled alley that has a long row of picnic tables that were all full, with mainly students, during a midweek evening visit. The L-shaped wooden floor interior has a stage and dartboard around to the left and seating around the exterior walls. The bar support eight handpumps, three of which were being on, one was off, three were unused and the last was being used as a blue roll holder. Premium and craft keg was also available. There was some background music playing from the jukebox, but there were only three people actually in the pub, which included me and the friendly barmaid. Not sure I’d rush back here to be honest.

Completely unspoiled pub - very lived in a touch shabby. Pool Table and Dart Board. Unfortunately, only two other punters in - so not much of an atmosphere. We were periodically joined by trampy looking fellas who came in just to use the facilities, to the visible annoyance of the bar staff. Beer was good and unusual - Cheddar Ales Totty Pott Porter. Would come back.

Enjoyed our visit to this 2016 Good Beer Guide pub. We chose beers from Ashley Down, Plain and Castle Combe which we left as it was not right but the bar staff had no interest in changing it. Only black mark to a pleasant visit.

Back street pub next to music venue and caters for the rock/blues market. In need of some tlc, there are wood floorboards and a pool table at one end. There is a large arrange of beers, some unusual but nothing local on my visit.
