just about see them to the right of the door!), May 1999

A very small old city centre free house that serves several local real ales including Wickwar Coopers WPA (abv. 3.5%), a light, citrus fruity summer session beer. It's a good place to stop for a quick pint of beer at a very reasonable price. We always go there before a concert at the Colston Hall which is less than 5 minutes walk away. Quite a comfortable interior with pine-panelled walls. There's also a couple of tables and chairs outside where we enjoyed out pints opposite the cenotaph and large giant roundabout thing.

On cold winter nights the wood-burning stove soon warms you up. Gents be aware, the way to the loos involves travelling down a tight metal spiral staircase. If you're tall, watch your head!
