Moby Duck left this review about The Barrel Drop
Hidden down a narrow alleyway the Barrel Drop is an attractive looking micropub. inside it is split leveled in a sideways to the bar U shape encompassing three seating areas. There are five handpulls on the bar and at the time of my visit four beers on all from Magpie, I opted for a Honeycomb Milk Stout which I found in great condition at £4.20 a pint, also available were four Ciders from Thistly Cross, Lilleys and two from Thirsty Farmer, eight Craft keg. The place was near full capacity but didn't feel crowded due to the layout of furniture.
I thought this place pretty good.

Micropub located in a narrow, but long alleyway which connects two main roads. Even the entrance to the alleyway is not immediately obvious.
Once inside, it feels a little dark. But there is a good selection of real ales, craft beers and real ciders, which are all listed on a blackboard opposite the bar.
On our Sunday afternoon visit, it was fairly quiet. Magpie beers on were Raven & Ten For A Time Of Joyous Bliss. Guests on cask were Severn Amarillo Citra APA & Milestone Shine On. Real ciders were Blue Barrel Sherwood Blend & Snail's Bank Rhubarb Cider, whilst craft beers were New Bristol Summer Crush, Abbeydale Heathen & Salvation, Shiny Kiss Ya Homies Goodnight, Magpie Belong To Earth, Polly's Columbus & Amundsen Barrel Aged Glazed & Confused.
There are a few different sections to drink in and I noticed a good selection of board games available to use. This is a decent place and I hope to get back here one day.

Good Beer Guide 2021 entry and without that prompt, I never would have found it. Tucked away down a tiny alley in the city centre.
Classic Micro Pub in look and feel.
Chalk board details the cask and keg. Many from Magpie brewery but I went for a Kernel Pale Ale Mosaic. Informed that the priced listed on the board were not for pints. Even though this was a standard 5.2% and no reason not to serve it in anything other than as god intended.
It looked pretty miserable, with my server attempting to get some life into it. On exiting, I noticed that it had been removed from the chalk board - so I obviously had the dregs.
