Alterego is exactly how a sports bar should be, not all neon signs and cheesy American styling. It…read morehas a warm atmosphere yet has screens nearly everywhere you look. They show such a variety of games that if you team is playing then there is a good chance they are showing it. On a Saturday they will have many games on in an afternoon - when I last went they had four football games on, a rugby game and we also got Sky Sports News put on in another room. There's a good range of lagers but limited amount of ale which is a shame but only a small downside for many other pluses. There is a function room which is available for free and has its own separate bar and toilets. It's upstairs at the back so it feels nice and private. The place is a bit of a tardis and has lots of separate spaces so you can enjoy your friend's company without feeling part of one big group. On a Monday they do "toss the boss", flip a coin and if you win you only pay half price for your drink. It has certainly kept me in there longer than I planned in the past. They're also pretty flexible, I've been in with my kids when it's been quiet and we've had the top room to ourselves while watching the football - they even let us bring in our own food as they only offer crisps and nuts. Nice flexible guys running a great bar. Keep up the good work!

Despite being blatantly aimed at students, this Clifton Down-based bar seems to appeal to everyone…read morebut our soon to be learned friends. The reason I say this is that they have tons of cheap booze offers, some more quirky than others (Mondays, for instance, are 'Toss the Boss' when you can win a free round, thankfully via a toss of a coin). I only usually go here on Sundays, mainly because it's quite an agreeable place (certainly better than a chain sports bar), the booze is cheap (£2.50 for a pint of Heineken and 2-4-1 cocktails), and you can usually arrive just as the biggest of matches (Chelsea Vs Liverpool this weekend) is kicking off and still get a seat. This is partly because they have so many flatscreens TVs (four I believe) in a couple of different areas (main bar, cosy sofa back bit and upstairs mezzanine). One of the better places for a Sunday session though I've never been on an evening.

If you like to watch live sports then this is the place for you…read more There are loads of screens and there is always some event being shown. Loads of football games spread across the various screens. Plenty of seating too. There are tons of pool and snooker tables for you to practice if you have the urge. Decent priced drinks, with happy hours and special deals. Also decent burgers and hot dogs.

I arranged to meet a large family group last month at Slim Jim's. The barman couldn't have been…read moremore helpful and accommodating and he helped us re-arrange some tables and chairs so we could all be seated together. The atmosphere is lively and upbeat with a jukebox, several TV's all showing different channels and a real mixture of people in the place (Our group consisted of some old fuddy duddies like me and some well behaved kids!). The pool tables are in excellent condition and after we finished with ours, the guy behind the bar came out and cleaned it, I don't think I've ever seen that happen anywhere else! There are some other activities that we did't get time to try like Snooker and Darts and there are also some quiz machines and even Jenga if that appeals to you. We found the prices to be reasonable and managed to get a pool table for the entire evening for around £16. Slim Jims caters for a mixture of modern and old world tastes and I'll make sure I visit again next time I'm in the UK!

Not a huge amount of choice on food but the roast veg and halloumi salad was delicious and good value (£8.45 with a soft drink). It was quiet so the service was fast. The barman was a bit of a misery arse but otherwise fine. The selection of alcohol behind the bar made my eyes light up, although I was unable to take part. Loads of craft beers and spirits, and a decent gin selection. I'll come back here next time we come shopping to Resorts World or a gig at the NEC...

This is a very cosy pub, but another tiny car park - you might have difficulty parking, especially towards Christmas where lots of Christmas parties will be happening. The food is fantastic value for money and the staff are polite and efficient. The staff are keen to please you - whether there are 2 or 22 of you. It's a really nice atmosphere. Although the bar is tiny - it always looks immaculate. They also pay attention to detail too - if you happen to mention that you're booking for a birthday/anniversary/retirementthey seem to remember and all of the staff know what you're celebrating - it's lovely to have the personal touch.
