Coach & Horses, Bristol

The Coach & Horses is a decent looking pub that is a very short walk from the Port of Call. Once inside there is a L shaped room with the bar facing,the room is carpeted and has comfy bench seating and small stools for seating and a leather settee and small stools to the left,there are pew seats to the right,the rear right area is up two steps where there are normal tables and chairs. There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Doom Bar which was a decent enough drink. There was no music and the TVs were showing crap. I thought this may be a younger persons pub before i went in,but was surprised as i was the youngest in there on my Saturday dinner visit. Pub visited 4/2/2017

The pub seems to be much as described below, and if it has had a refurbishment since Blackthorn's review was written, it has resulted in wood panelling to waist height on the walls, with plain picture-strewn walls above. Most of the pictures, I was interested to note, were of coaches and horses, indicating that a degree of thought has gone into their selection. On the bar I spotted eight hand pumps, with beers available at the time of my visit being Sharps Doom Bar, St Austell Tribute, Exmoor Gold and Wychwood Hobgoblin, plus Old Rosie cider. There's a piano in the corner, but nothing to suggest a sing-song was about to burst out - most people, like me, were just having a quiet drink. Not what you'd call a destination pub, though pleasant enough, this would make a decent short pub crawl together with the nearby Port of Call, Beaufort Arms and Red Lion, avoiding the more crowded pubs on Whiteladies Road.
