As described very thoroughly by others, below, this Brewdog is a satisfactory place to sit and spend time, although the lack of real ale is a downside, as it is with all Brewdogs. The large TV screen by the door was switched off, there was awful MOBO on the HiFi, and the WiFi wasn’t working. The barman was friendly enough but clearly tired. There was a crowd of lads, possibly a stag party, occupying the outside seating, but they weren’t causing a problem. Other than them and us, the only customers were tourists. I enjoyed my pint of Shore Leave, though it was predictably over-chilled. Happy to come back.

A long established BrewDog in Bristol, compared with the recent opening on the harbourside, this has been here for around ten years or so and replaced one that was at one time known as The Sceptre, before having spells as both an Irish themed bar and a sandwich shop.
It’s not especially large inside, and consists of one single, open plan room. Like many of their outlets it’s industrial in design rather than cosy with exposed air conditioning ducting on the ceiling, some type of concrete screed on the floor and rough, unpainted plasterwork in between the large windows, but there is also some exposed stone walling at the rear of the pub and whitewashed brickwork at one end. Seating was a mixture of Chesterfield style padded bench seating in front of the windows, further padded benches set at right angles to form a sort of booth and high tables and chairs. Plenty of hops were hanging from the ceiling, and there was an array of merchandise for sale.
Beer choice was extensive although presumably was all keg rather than cask, and many were served in ⅓, ½ and ⅔ measures depending on their strength. The choice on this occasion was Punk IPA, Dead Pony Club, Planet Pale, Hazy Jane, Hazy Guava, Elvis Juice, IPA is Dead, 90 Day Bock, Cake Cartel, 5AM Saint, Jet Black Heart, Maltgarden Spectrum Street, X Emperor’s Wookies & Cream, Overtone Stuck in a Daze, Beret A Gloom, De Molen Doric & Dutch, Fuerst Wiacex Friction T, MBH Ticker Tape Parade, Workshy Double Junk, Weihenstephaner Helles, Siren CCC Dundee Cake and Moersleutel Vegor. Cider’s meanwhile were Dead & Berried and Dabinett. I opted for the Cake Cartel and the Wookies & Cream, both of which went down very well, although with the latter coming in at the equivalent of £17.70 per pint, you could well argue that it should be pretty good. Overall I am rather warming to the BrewDog chain, and would happily pop in again.

There's not much I can add to pub SignMan's detailed review below, as mentioned before ,a nice location, there were a few empty tables on my late afternoon visit , disappointingly they all had reserved signs on them. The bar itself is what you would expect , typically BrewDog as were the prices, 2/3rds of Elvis Juice at £5.40,great beer though.
