    Rising Sun
    Laura W.

    This is one of the Scream chain pubs, not that you'd notice. It has a good local vibe. There's a decent pool table, with space to play your shots (£1 a game) and a wonderfully innovative music video jukebox. This makes it a great place to bring people with diverse taste. My other half opted for a bit of Ace of Base, Amy MacDonald and Alisha's Attic (he obviously didn't get past the As!). Being a Scream pub you can get a discount card which makes the drinks cheaper. I got one when I graduated. It cost me a fiver and lasts me forever. It saved me that amount in the first few days! The Rising Sun also does decent and reasonably priced pub grub. It recently hosted a Ciderfest where it had up to 40 different ciders available, including the potent Old Rosie and the brand new (at the time of writing this) Tutti Frutti flavoured Brothers pear cider.

    The Rising Sun is a staple student venue and it feels as natural to come here as it does brushing your teeth in the morning. If you're not a student (or tax dodger as Mark kindly puts it) then you won't really want to be here. By day it the sunlight shows the Rising Sun to look like some sort of pornographic set - think velvet curtains, red carpets and boudoir lighting. By night it is heaving with people - drunk people. The alcohol is cheaper than chips which is the pub's mainly pulling-point. If you want to get drunk and quick , head straight over to the Rising Sun.

    One of Bristol's oldest music venues, this intimate pub is a bit of a halfway house where you can…read moresee the wannabes on their way up and the never quite weres coming back down the other side. If you know your stuff you can catch some really big pre-fame names (I saw Radiohead for £3.50 many, many years ago, though once turned down the chance to see some new band called 'Oasis' in favour of watching the footie in a pub down the road). Weekends are dominated by tribute nights, which can be fun if you get the right one, while up-and-coming acts vie for your attention during the week, when there are also cheap drinks offers early in the night. Be warned: when stage diving keep an eye on the pillars as a mate of mine almost knocked himself out at a Moonflowers gig in the early 90s...

The floor is paved with flag stones, convenient if you spill your drink! Probably easier to keep in a decent state with the dancing and moshing that goes on here too. It's on the circuit for small bands trying to get a break. That means the odd act that will be topping the charts in a few years time and not a few bands that definitely won't It's a good space for a band to play, perhaps not quiet enough for singer songwriter type acts. The drinks on offer here aren't too badly priced (and a lot cheaper than the O2 academy, which also has a very dire range on offer, thanks to the corporate sponsorship). Things tend to be a bit calmer here too. Although this might just be because it's not such a big place. A gig here generally gets going towards the end, and their will be the risk of crowddivers falling on you, but I've never been there when things get out of control. If you like live music have a look for a band you know (or a tribute to them) and get a ticket for a good night.

    The Duke of York is a great little pub tucked away in the backstreets of St Werburghs. It's…read moreregularly frequented by musicians and arty types. I love it here for a multitude of reasons, but this is one of the main ones. They serve excellent beers at reasonable prices and there's a skittle ally in the back room. All of the skittles are unique, with some being twice as fat as some of the others. The markings dictating where the skittles should be placed are too far apart, making the game unfeasibly difficult, (but this doesn't bother me as I always cheat). The place is decorated in some artfully applied kitsch, and there's a bunch of feisty women serving behind the bar most of the time, who are generally up for a chat as long as they're not too busy. There's a great walled garden that can get incredibly noisy, and an upstairs room with distinctly different look and feel to the downstairs section. I'm unsure what this place serves (probably private hire?), as it has only ever been sparsely used when I've been there, even thought he downstairs has been heaving.

    This very friendly, spacious but cosy local pub in the arty locale of St Werburgh's is a good…read morechoice when you're in this neck of the woods. While perhaps not being a pub to which you should make the journey from other parts of Bristol, it's a solid local establishment serving the chatty residents of BS2. It has loads of different areas, including the famous skittles alley, and the much-loved covered back garden which has several large picnic tables to accommodate large groups and smokers. The main ground floor areas inside are cosy, lit with strings of fairy lights. Upstairs, find a space that could be somewhere else completely; with chic low sofas and tables, and art on the walls, it feels more like an upmarket city centre bar. Odd to have such separate areas with distinct atmospheres, maybe, but good to have the options all in one place. When walking through dark local St Werburgh's streets looking for the place, keep your eyes peeled for the splendid exterior covered in graffiti, and listen out for the happy chatter from the smokers in the pub garden.

It couldn't be much more different to the other pubs/bars that it's close to. You can tell from the outside exactly what it'll be like inside; a traditional English, old mans pub. It is actually a really refreshing pub to go and hide away from the horribleness of the waterfront on a Friday or Saturday night. I went on Saturday night for the first time in well over a year. I'd been drinking wine with a meal before hand, so deiced to stick to that; £8 a bottle! Boom! Drinks wise you'll find your bog standard draught lagers, ciders and ales and the usual top shelf suspects. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Apart from a few of the punters - eeeek! Don't make eye contact! If they have eyes, that is! With pub going out of business left right and centre, I can't see this one any time soon. It's serves it's purpose well!

It's quite a small pub but for some baffling reason, despite it always seeming busy, I have never struggled to get a seat in here. As with most Bristol pubs they serve good local ciders but the best bit is the food. Pieminister, mash, peas and gravy is a must on a cold winter or autumnal day. And if that day is a Wednesday you get a free drink with said meal! Bargain. This is one of those pubs which makes you feel warm and lovely inside when the nights are cold, dark and long, less so in the summer but still well worth a pre-gig visit.
