Bonapartes is situated on Temple Meads station but you can only go in it when through the barriers to the station.
Once inside there is a large oblong shaped room with the bar on the right side,the room looks quite grand and has a high ceiling.
There are leater settees to the rear and tall tables and chairs in the middle area,the front area has normal tables and chairs.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Butcombe bitter which went down very well,the other beers were Doom Bar and GK Abbot.
This is a very pleasant station bar to have drink in while waiting for a train like i did.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Bonapartes

The interior has a certain Art Deco style here and there. In contrast to this was a high Tudor timber frame ceiling and sandstone walls. The pub wasn't over busy on our visit and so gave it a relaxed atmosphere before the train. It was also good to see they had four pumps, the Butcombe Crimson King was very good.

Strange that you can only access this pub from the platform.Rather liked the style with large original stone windows.Very church like with high ceilings.Not very busy.Three cask beers on and reluctantly tried Butcombe -crimson king which was good.The first album I ever bought was by King Crimson but has nothing to do with this review.Pub lacks atmosphere.
