At BTP, you will find the most sandwich and full-bodied semi-sweet pancakes you will ever eat in your life. Flavoured with a cascade of maple syrup, they will be the perfect match for the fried bacon with which they are served. Tired of avocado toast - let's face it, I can do it myself at home, without spending nine effing pounds - I wanted to try the famous eggs Benedict. Accompanied by two slices of sourdough toast bread and hollandaise sauce they were fire! I also wanted to add some bacon just to keep it light... because why not?! I was expecting classic American bacon in thin, crunchy and super scorched strips, but I think this is the English version: thick and almost rounded slices, more like a slice of meat, but still delicious af. The meat was tender and cooked evenly, nicely browned at the edges.

The menu includes a vegan dish in every category. Along with veggie options, and meat too! I ordered the vegan veggie breakfast for under £7. My partner ordered the vegan banh mi. After we ordered we headed outside to their beautiful outdoor garden. They claim to have the largest on park street. There was a lot of seating in the sun and the shade. Our food came out in a timely matter and was absolutely delicious. They veggie breakfast was so tasty! The only thing I'd change would be to add a vegan sausage or avocado in place of the missing egg from the standard veggie breakfast. The banh mi was perfect as is! We finished our food and soaked up some son. Everything about our experience was enjoyable and we will definitely be returning!

Sat on the…read moretriangle, I nipped in quickly on a week night on the way to a gig and it was almost empty, though an interesting experience none the less. They had all sorts of gourmet options available (ostrich, wild boar, etc) though I just went for a quick burger and fries, being in a rush. The food was okay, though the place itself was a bit surreal, trying to give you the full-on Japanese buger bar experience. I've never been but it seemed authentic enough with a large communal oval table split into individual booth-like eating areas, each of which has its own TV screen pumping out MTV. Despite my initial suspicions it's not a chain either and I definitely intend on going back, though perhaps on my way back from a night out on the beers next time rather than on the way out.

A big black sign sits above the big open widows, but with barely any writing or branding. You'd really have to look for it if you didn't know it was there. Inside the decor is dark with some weird and wonderful stuff on the wall. They had loud house/electronic music on which I loved. The atmosphere was really casual but really buzzy! I've never ordered ribs at a restaurant before. I generally don't think you get enough meat and I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce. But something felt different in the Urban Standard and I felt compelled to order the half rack. So order I did! And it was one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in ages! The ribs are ridiculously meaty, lots of meat on top as well as in between each rib. The sauce was nice and spicy and not too thick that there was more on your fingers than on the meat! I really liked the fact they gave you a side pot of the same sauce for the chips! The chips were also really good and for a around £9 it was a really decent feed! I had a couple of gin and tonics which was Bombay Safire and tonic. Nothing out if the ordinary. They do have a little micro brewery and if really like to try the ales, I just wasn't in the mood. Next time! This is definitely one of the hottest new places in Gloucester Road. It's a bit different to anywhere else and I applaud them for that! If they keep the same music at the same volume, I'll definitely be a regular!

They've got loads of well kept full size snooker tables, complete with the overhead lights they have on the games on the telly and a general feeling of people concentrating on their game. It's still fairly pubish though. There's a bar sky sports and this isn't a bad just to come for a drink, especially as its a bit less rowdy than most places on and around Park Street (not that this is particularly hard). Drink prices aren't bad at all either if you can find the special deals. I like Rileys, it's nice to have somewhere where you can get a decent game and I would play all the time if it wasn't for the prices and the demand of membership fee. If I'm desperate for a quiet game I'll just head to a pub on a weekday afternoon or some other quiet time.

Although a temporary appointment, we inevitably ended up coming here a lot for a short period. If you're looking for a certain night, it has everything you need. There are a good twelve American pool tables in the along with a few smaller versions in the main room. This means that you always can grab a table, no matter what time of night you decide to show up. This place is open 24 hours, so if you bowl out of a club at three and are feeling competitive, this is your place. They also serve food through the night, so it's the ultimate 'after club game of pool burger and chips' in Bristol city centre. There's other things that would only interest the interested, like a snooker room, poker tables and the option for poker nights, Worzel staff, pool queues, chalk and bags for hire, locals and yocals in bifocals. Although the place doesn't deserve a top rating as it's pretty bland and chain like, it definitely doesn't deserve less than a three because it serves a purpose and I have always had good nights there if I've been looking for that sort of thing. You have to sign up as a member though, so that's worth knowing. Take an extra fiver if you wanna play.

We, a group of 5, came here for a late brunch on a Sunday morning. From the outside you can immediately tell this place has a hipster, minimal kind of vibe going on (think minimal industrial), if this isn't your normal cup of tea, don't let this sway you away as once inside and seated you feel instantly relaxed. The breakfast and brunch choices all sound immensely delicious however I can whole-heartedly recommend the Standard Breakfast which is a take on the good ol' English fry-up. The wait for food is probably a little longer than some other places, however I can attest it is well worth it as the quality and taste of the food is very high and perfectly seasoned. The coffee here is really nice too. A recommended place for breakfast/brunch if you haven't tried it yet.

Well cooked, good sized, but not overly "sloppy" as seems to be the trend, and with fantastic rosemary chips.

It's also appreciated that the bun is toasted, so simple but such an easy way to keep a burger from getting messy. The rosemary chips are lovely and crisp, and there's a good amount included in the order. I could easily down a bucket of these. Good food, good price, nice.

I arrived shortly before the dinner rush, and ordered mine to stay (there are four bar chairs for the few who decide not to order take away). The picture of the doner kebab on the menu is a mere suggestion. You are not provided with a sandwich, but a pita pocket overloaded with meat, so much so that the salad must go on the other side of your take away container. They are obviously very VERY generous with portions. Of EVERYTHING. I had ample kebab, veggies, and sauces (garlic and chili). The poor pita was hidden underneath all the accoutrements, but I ain't complaining. Quite delicious.
