Jaded Dragon, Clifton, Bristol

A trendy bar on the Whiteladies road strip. Not a lot to really distinguish it from many of the other places nearby – it attracts a lot of students, sells little or no real ale, plays loud music and stays open late. If that’s your thing then great, but I’m getting a little too old for that! Having said all that, there’s a reasonably decent upstairs area with a few comfy sofas and an all together more chilled ambience. There is a small bar upstairs as well, although with a much reduced range of drinks compared to downstairs. The barman seemed quite switched on which makes a change. The only beer that they appeared to serve was Bombadier, although even this was off on our visit. The solitary cider was Thatcher’s Gold.
