This grubby old pub plays host to what it calls the "alternative music" scene in Bristol, and…read moreyou'll have gathered from other reviews that this is specifically metal and rock music. I am truly surprised about this; I visited during the day for a lunchtime beer, and it felt no more exciting or "alternative" here than any other old man pub I've ever been to. There were just blokes sitting about drinking pints. But, I suppose I was just there at the wrong time of day, before the pub transformed into its nighttime altar ego. As Will P says, don't be put off by the identity of this pub as a live rock music venue. The actual music goes on downstairs in the basement, and upstairs is just a pub, and it's in quite a good location, tucked inside St Nicholas Markets. I was looking for refreshment in an old pub during a market shopping day, and that's what I got. So, a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde venue, it seems. But that's not a bad thing. It's in my list of "Pubs Plus"; that is, pubs that offer something over and above the basic pub experience. There are a few like this in Bristol, and it's always quite hard to tell what these pubs are hiding behind their old beer barrels.

I swear I never tried KFC, so I can't compare it to anything else, but this chicken was utterly delicious! Nice and thick breading, fried to perfection, super tender meat. The potatoes were perfect, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the sauce was amazing! Very affordable prices and generous portions.

I opted for lunch of buttermilk friend chicken and chips. Also a large portion and very freshly cut chips. Unfortunately it was a bit early to try the beer but I did have a mimosa to hit the spot.

Both stellar and I would get another round if we had time. Happy hour is £2.50 pints - can't get better than that. Parking around the building was atrocious, to say the least. Take public transit if you can. T took us 30 minutes to get out of the tinyiest parking garage known to man. Other than that, I hope we stop by again if we're ever in Cardiff.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful. Although not on the menu, we asked if we could sample all the beers they make which was no issue at all and all surprisingly cheap. They had a variety of beers from light mango beer, through to chocolate beer and even a 'black' beer. The smell from each beer was incredible and the bartender told us the reasoning behind each recipe and the flavours we should be able to taste with each glass. To line our stomachs as we drank we ordered a couple of things off the menu. We had the sharing starter which was smoked salmon , tomatoes, Parma ham and goats cheese on ciabatta followed by the thermidore mussels. Both of which were very good, the sauce on the mussels was Devine, incredibly rich and creamy ! They do have quite a limited menu here (mainly mussels, pizza and salad) but what they do have looks and tastes brilliant. They have a great open kitchen with an impressive pizza oven and each pizza looked incredible. I'd definitely come back here when we have a little more time and spend a bit longer trying to beers and taking in the atmosphere. Some days of the week they even have the distillers in operating the kit while you eat and drink which I am sure would be most entertaining ! Great place 4/5

I started with a half pint of Folly Road lager (recommended by the server), which was refreshing, light, and super easy to sip. Then came the fish & chips, and honestly it was one of the best I've had anywhere. The portions were wildly generous, and the fish was perfectly golden-fried with crispness that creates a loud crunch as you bite into it. The plump fish was tender, flaky and moist. The dish comes with mushy peas too. I appreciated that they set you up with salt, pepper, and malt vinegar so you can season everything to your taste, and you can request tartar sauce that's light, creamy, and great for dipping. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole visit feel warm and effortless.

The place was pretty empty on a Friday afternoon. The bartender was quick to offer samples of different ciders before choosing our pints. The beers were super cold, good, and very reasonably priced at about 4 pounds each. We also ordered the Big Peppa pizza to share. It was huge! And a great deal at only 12 pounds. The crust and cheese were delicious. We weren't huge fans of the actual pepperonis; but we ate them. The pizza also came out in about 5 minutes; and it was definitely hand made. All I he staff members were really friendly. This is a great local bar, but also welcoming to tourists. There is a huge football/soccer theme running through the entire place with sports balls flags of many countries for decor. I bet it would be a great place to watch the games!
