The pub is found in Bristol, Avon, BS1 6JG.
One bar pub tucked away from the main drag into Bristol in Thomas Lane. Often has open mic for local musicians. Main attraction here though is the excellent range of beers, probably the best in Bristol. A healthy discount on real ale is given to CAMRA card carrying members - if not prompted by bar staff just ask. 8 handpumps sported here.
We have visited this pub 16 times, seen 92 different beers and tried 30 of them.
