Gold Bar @ The Harbour Hotel, Bristol

As described by others, below, this is more an hotel cocktail bar than a pub. It doesn't open lunchtimes, the staff were somewhat supercilious and the decor grates. The seating was comfortable enough, but the ambience was dominated by squealing luvvies an their cackling arm candy. No real ale, just Anytime and Peroni, plus a selection of overpriced bottled beers. The range of spirits was extensive (and expensive), although the wines were not much more costly than other nearby cocktails bars. Probably OK if you are staying or dining in the hotel, but not somewhere to come for a quiet beer or a session with friends.

A hotel bar but accessable by the public,it's up a small fight of stairs to the right.You enter into a lounge with a series of comfy chairs and some suggestive artwork on the walls,while the bar itself is a small seperate room with a servery ,surrounded by bar stools with a champagne bar feel but two taps for keg Peroni and a Meantime beer at very premium prices.There is wood panelling,fine internal features and a feeling of some opulance. Worth a squint,but certainly not a destination nor somewhere to linger for a session.
