On the large side for a micro but still a nice one room bar, painted in dark green top to bottom with a strange bit of red lighting which did at least give a cosy atmosphere. The little counter in the corenr had 4 handpumps with changing ales as well as a small set of keg taps n the wall behind. I had a very nice Stout Coffin from Church End, which was in great condition. Very relaxed and a good place for a pint or several.

A very good micropub up the extremely steep Bank Road. This one is worth the climb up on its own unlike the nearby Farmacy. No coaches during our Sunday afternoon visit, but there wouldn't have been any room for them anyway. Ms CAMRA grabbed the last table for two whilst I went to the bar. Four handpumps, all with beer on. I went for the Nailmaker Citra which was excellent, Ms CAMRA had a half of the same. I also enjoyed a half of Lenton Lane Watson which was also in good nick. A busy and buzzy micropub with friendly and efficient staff and loads of dogs. What's not to like?

Smaller Micro pub, which was winner of drink of the night.

An excellent New Bristol Brewery Twice Upon a Time IPA. A heavy 8.5%.

GBG 2022.... notable for the range of bottles/cans on shelves - making it part offlicence, part pub.

Obviously run by enthusiasts.
