A mid terrace building of substantial construction with impressive if worn steps up to the front door past a small front terrace.Don't worry about the Greene King signage,this isn't one of their corporate disaster zones but rather a very good ale house.The tap room is L shaped with very fine wood panelling all around,and traditional furniture.Through an arch is a comfy back snug with it's own bar access while up a steep staircase is a first floor dining room.On the ground floor there are no food menus,it's a fine place just to sup.There were 4 guest on my visit besides the obligatory GK IPA,namely Twisted WTF,Yeovil Stout Hearted,Summerskill Whistle Belly Vengance and a good Goffs Jester Brew 9,NBSS 3.5.
One to include on any real ale tour of the city centre,possibly worth lingering for a while as it's just off the tourist radar.

Good beer Guide 2021 entry. Greene King but with up to 8 handpulls on.
Small terrace area at the front and typically traditional interior.
Bar staff efficient, friendly and knowledgeable about their beers.

Claiming to be the "longest serving ale house in Bristol", this is a nice two-roomer with some good old woodwork. Traces of an earlier refurb are visible, notably the graphic map wall, but have weathered in quite nicely. There is a small patio at the front. However the main attraction is the enthusiasm for beers, with an excellent and changing range of guests alongside the predictable IPA and Abbot, on this occasion including Gloucester Vanilla Porter, Hanlon's Port Stout, Great Western Bitter and Tribute, plus a volunteered discount for CAMRA. A good survivor amongst the various trendy places in the area.
