Quinno _ left this review about The Knights Templar (JD Wetherspoon)

First visit for a fair while due to train delays. The interior has had a gentle refresh but otherwise is the same as ever. There was a fair range of the crafty cans available and on seeing Brew York available I went for that with my breakfast. News of its presence might send some of the crafterati wild and it was a good drop, if brewed for the margin.

A visit the other day found four guests on and of course I headed straight for the Bath Festivity (first-rate condition, too). I'm never going to love the place but it serves a purpose if you only have time for a swift one before your train. Rated 6

Things seem to have improved here a bit. My latest visit found a full fleet of ales on, cleaner interior, friendly service and prompt-table-clearing. Upped by a mark. Rated 5

Modern and purpose-built drinking den designed for the suits and keyboard chimps that inhabit the newly-developed Temple Quays complex. The interior is pleasant, if somewhat bland, though the large plate glass windows are quite interesting. Staff and beer are both variable, depending on the day. Can also get quite messy inside. Nothing overly special, make the extra few paces to the Cornubia or Seven Stars for a much better drinking experience in easy reach of the station. But if you really can't be arsed to walk that far, here will suffice. Rated 4

Knights Templar is a JDW handily located close to Bristol Temple Meads Train Station. The bar counter along the right wall faces open plan seating. In amongst the standard and premium keg are two banks of five handpumps. Available along with the usual suspects were Brains Rev. James, Butcombe Ale, Conwy Brewery’s Rampart, Maxim Brewery’s Maximus and Peerless Knee Buckler IPA. Location dictates that I’ll probably find myself in here again at some point.

Comprehensively described by PSM, below.  Ales on were Peerless Full Whack, Pedigree, Hobgoblin IPA, Hook Norton Greedy Goose, Abbott, Ruddles and Doombar.  There was a decent crowd in, yet it was still easy to find a seat.  The staff were pleasant and helpful even though clearly busy, and they were happy to chat while working.  People were drinking happily outside despite the weather, and it was overall an enjoyable visit.  Worth a visit if passing through Templemeads Station.
