Bridge Inn, Bristol

Another transformation - there's now a jumbo Hendrix mural covering the outside, whilst the interior is dark blue and white with black trim. It looks quite smart. Sunday is £3.50 on the cask, so from the five localish options I went for the best bang-per-buck of Moor Stout which was in good shape, a shame that mine must have been the first one out for a wee while as I suspect the person who slipstreamed me got a cracker (mine being NBSS 3.5) served-up by a friendly barmaid who kept herself busy rather than gimping around on her phone. Gratis cheese and crackers at the end of the bar. 50s and 60s music choice just right for a Sunday early evening as well. I was impressed and would pop back in again next time I’m going to the Cornubia. GBG listed.

There seems to have been a slightly clinical internal refurb in here since last time. Four ales in Beowulf, Dark Star, Osset and Bath. My Beowulf was OK if not exactly king of jungle. Rated 6

Teeny-tiny (smallest in Bristol?) basic pub which serves up two ales from Bath (SPA and Gem) plus two guests (one of which is often Arbor) at competitive prices. You can see what’s up next by peering at the clips atop the till. Novelty value in having a record player where the punters can play their own choices (within reason). Decoration is green-tinged and there's old album covers, gig tickets etc mounted on the walls. Bare boarded floor, fitted seating and small tables utilised to maximise space. Usually a good atmosphere though can get a bit squished when busy. Check out the view from the bridge, especially of the historic Cheese Lane lead shot tower. Walkable from the town centre and from Bristol Temple Meads – worth taking in if you’re visiting the nearby Seven Stars. Rated 7
