Beer & Pizza were outstanding & we'll definitely be back. Service was just right, so attentive but not bothersome.

I won't lie to dear Yelper, when someone suggested we went to Zerodegrees as it was Bristol's own microbrewery I didn't have a clue what they meant. Had I thought about it for long enough I probably would have been able to piece it together - but thankfully they explained; microbrewery - tiny brewery - bar that makes and serves its own beer. Ooh yes, we should definitely go there. Zerodegrees is quite stunning in design; glass panelling, coloured light and a lofty space but due to its enormity it does lack atmosphere. Having said that, it's a great experience - the food and beer and flavoursome and it's great to experience something so home-grown. If you like a taste of Zerodegrees offerings, you can buy a keg to take home with you. read more

Until today, zero degrees wouldn't have been a place I'd have considered for lunch. It wouldn't have been a place I'd consider for anything, for that matter. But It's been given a lick of paint, (a £300k lick of paint at that!) and a menu refresh and it's one of the most stylish places in town. The decor inside is fantastic. They have pushed the downstairs bar back to give much more space, have given it a nice copper style overcoat and installed the most awesome lighting I've seen in any bar. It's money well spent! I went in for lunch with my mum, sister and 2 year old nephew for lunch and had the 2-4-1 pizzas. We shared the Garlic chicken pizza and the sweet and spicy Italian pizza. Both were really good! The garlic chicken had a garlic sauce instead of tomato. It was nice, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The Italian pizza had a delicious tomato base with big chunks of peppers and sausage. The sausage was a little bit chewy, but for roughly £5 is was huge and great value. I would probably be a bit disappointed to pay full price for it. Zero Degrees wouldn't be top of my list for a night out, or even an evening meal. But that's just me. It is, however, an impressive restaurant with a great lunch menu - and I'd definitely be back for that! read more

Until today I had never been to Zero Degrees before, I had never really thought about it to be honest but after my experience I will definitely be returning. I came here for lunch with my brother, mum and two year old son. The place was pretty quite which is always a bonus for me with a child that doesn't like to sit still. My brother told me they have had a refurb so I can't really comment on that, but it certainly looks lovely inside. It's very clean cut and everything looks tidy which I like. They also have these amazing lights hanging from the ceiling which my little boy was fascinated by. For food we had 2-4-1 pizzas, a garlic chicken one and the other was a sweet and spicy Italian pizza. The garlic chicken was nice but more like garlic bread with chicken and some red onions than a pizza. The sweet and spicy one was really nice, delicious tomato base with peppers, onions and slightly tough spicy sausage. I think the prices are pretty reasonable and the staff were nice and didn't seem to mind my little boy running about and letting out the occasional screech. I really enjoyed lunch today so will definitely be returning!! read more

Something I hadn't seen until they set up shop in Bristol, Zero Degrees is a micro-brewery and restaurant. It was built new a couple of years ago, and the glass walls of the building show big shiny tanks where their beer ferments. I like to think I'm the sort of person that doesn't get taken in by big shiny things so I'll try and stay in discerning reviewer mode. It is very swish. Having been on a couple of real ale brewery tours, where things are generally old manish and bit folksy (which is fine), this is a interesting new take on the idea of a brewery. Don't go here expecting an old man with a beer belly to explain the fermentaion process and then let you drink four pints, though. The beer itself is pretty good. Refreshing and not too heavy, it goes well with the mostly Italian menu on offer. I've certainly had better, but pretty impressive considering it's from a micro-brewery. Zero degrees should probably be applauded for having a go at breaking the mould a bit and trying to bring something new to Bristol. I like what they've done. Recommend to anyone who enjoys a pint, not just those who particularly enjoy their beer. read more

I haven't tasted their own beer, but my housemate says (from over my shoulder as I type) that they are very good! We visited for my friends birthday meal and the food was incredible. I had a seafood pizza which (if I closed my eyes) I could imagine I was back in Italy. Inside it is modern, clean and stylish however after reading Mark M's review I can understand why some people may alike it to an airport! I guess it depends on personal taste, but if you are looking for something a little different to Pizza Express and Zizzi's but are not ready to try more independent restaurants then this may be the place for you! read more

Been there a few times, really recommend the white wine garlic based pastas/pizza. Especially the mushroom pizza, salmon with rocket pizza, chicken risotto and large prawn pasta. The tomato based pizzas were abit too salty for my liking. The beer was not bad too! THE MUSSELS WERE AMAZING. Very fresh(((: please try the mussels!! I would give a 5 star except they ran out of mussels ): read more

I loved this venue as a bar the beers are great but food was crappy. I had the calamari which was cold and overcooked the breadcrumbs were brown and the squid was rubbery. We were quite a big group which may have contributed to the poor quality food. I had the Thai green pizza which was really really spicy and I like spice but it wasn't fragrent at all it was just chilli. The pizza base though was really good. I really rate this place it's cool it's unique the atmospheres wicked the service was great it's affordable. The beers funky. I really hope the food improves or is better for other people. Maybe it was a bad night. If I'm visiting I'd definately give it a second chance! read more

The idea of a microbrewery in the middle of Bristol fascinates me - they brew all their own beer on-site, and you can see it happening through the ultra-modern panes of glass. Its damn tasty too - from rich, chocolatey brews to light refreshing lagers - there's a glass to suit every palate. To match the list of beverages, the pizza and mussels menus are just as comprehensive- I munched through a whole Hoisin duck pizza (de-lish) and my fellow diner licked his lips over the kilo pot of shellfish with chilli and coconut milk, a spice sensation. Most evenings the bar area is jostling students and nurses from nearby BRI - so if you're looking for a romantic evening over a pot of mussels (natural aphrodisiacs, perhaps?), ask for a cosy table upstairs away from the hustle and bustle of the main thorough-fare. Stay for a drink after or swing by to Wild Wood to end your evening. read more

Microbrewery? Check. Restaurant? Check. Bar? Check. There's certainly a lot going on at Zerodegrees, but in attempting to fit so much into once place they've created a large, echoey, loud venue that is sorely lacking in atmosphere. The one exception is the balcony and if you're able to jostle for a seat out there, hold onto it as it offers great views over the Christmas Steps. Zerodegrees is certainly an ambitious place, but in trying to tick so many boxes, it's become more of a master of none than the jack of all trades it so clearly aspires to be. read more

I want to start out by saying what an awesome little place this is - Zero Degrees is a great restaurant which has its own micro brewery as well as a downstairs bar! The building itself is very attractive, it has a glass exterior making it look classy and a bit different to your standard restaurant. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and you are looked after by staff from the moment you step inside the building. From my experience the restaurant is always busy, and the food is great - although slightly on the higher price end, you definitely get your money's worth. You can expect to pay around a tenner ahead for main meals when eating out here. The types of food you can order include: gourmet pizza, salad, risotto, mussels, sausages, and paste - all brilliantly cooked and well presented! In my opinion the best thing about this restaurant is the micro brewery - ordering a pint of hand crafter home-made beer makes the whole experience seem that little bit more special! The bar downstairs also allows you to order a 5L keg of beer for £16, which is great if you visit with a large group of friends! They also offer larger 'party kegs' which you can order and takeaway for use at your own disposal! read more

A micro-brewery, bar and restaurant, Zerodegrees has many strings to its bow. There's a definitely contemporary style - all glass and chrome - to this establishment. Indeed Zero Degrees is a classy joint through and through - the gourmet pizzas are delicious, the mussels are great, the mango beer is a treat indeed. The best part is that everything is respectably priced as well, a rare thing for somewhere so flagrantly stylish. I particularly recommend stopping by for the afterwork happy hour from 5-7, grabbing one of the last remaining tables in the sunshine and relaxing to the maxing before heading inside to feast on eclectically topped pizzas. read more

Love ZeroDegrees, from their amazing home brewed beers (especially the mango) which all go so well with the whole menu. Great fresh pizzas and pastas never fail and a brilliant Christmas menu!! Great atmosphere inside, lovely to be on the balcony in the summer or the upstairs terrace outside. Would always recommend. read more

Moving with the 'health conscious' times, you don't have to feel too guilty enjoying a few pints at Zerodegrees. Brewed onsite - you will be amoungst the tanks and pipes for a industrial type setting - the beers are unpasteurised, free of additives / colourings and have no sweeteners. Multi-levels with decking (great views of the Christmas steps and city), the venue takes a theatre-style approach to drinking and dining. While this makes you feel part of everything happening at the venue, it does have an impact on the acoustics...great for a party, not for an intimate one-on-one conversation. Food - great pizzas in their wood-fire oven. Beers - seasonal options like mango beer a favourite together with pale ale, wheat ale, pilsner, black larger, etc. Happy Hour 4 - 7pm pint is £1.90. ENJOY - the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for beer! read more

Unlike most of the clientele I don't actually like beer so that's not the main reason I go to Zero Degrees, oh no. I go for the food. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, every afternoon, the smell of garlic begins to waft out of this contemporary microbrewery. While the feel inside is rather clinical with all that glass and metal, the mouth-watering pizzas and mussels make up for it! Smoked salmon and mascarpone pizzas, teriyaki chicken salad and gourmet sausage and mash are just some of the treats, and if you have room for dessert then try anything chocolate covered! The large circular bar is in the middle of the space with a bar area and outdoor seating on one side and a restaurant split over two levels on the other. The food is a little pricey but the quality of the ingredients makes this the perfect destination for a treat or to take visitor, who will no doubt be impressed with the pipes and tubes spouting out the top of the building. It can be quite tricky to find a seat near the bar but one can usually bag a table for four midweek without any problems - over the weekend you might want to book ahead. All the beer produced here can also be purchased in mini kegs which is perfect for presents or parties. read more

This stylish modern micro-brewery has a bar and a restaurant serving mainly Italian cuisine, and it's justifiably popular with both beer drinkers and pizza lovers. The interior can feel a bit cold and empty with all its chrome, high ceilings, big glass panels, and coloured neon lighting - but when it fills up with people at the weekend it has a slightly better atmosphere, and during the summer the balcony is a good spot for a drink. Beer's not really my bag, so I can't honestly give you a worthy review of that, but for the food and the outside balcony alone this place is worth a try sometime. The pizza is well-known to be good here, and plenty of people stop at Zerodegrees just as much for the food as for the beer, which is obviously brewed on site. If you don't want the party to end, you can also buy a little keg to take home with you! read more

I'm a big fan of breweries and i'm a big fan of Italian foodsuffice to say I'm a massive fan of Zerodegrees! They offer a good range of on-site brewed beers covering all the bases (Pilsener, Wheat Beer, Ale and a range of fruit beers) which come at a very reasonable price for a restaurant. For food they offer a very good two-course set menu for £12 and both the Bruschetta & Americana Pizzas get the big thumbs up from me (warning- the chillis on the americana may well blow your socks off). The staff were fantastic too and concocted a little firecracker of a shot to get our stag-in-toe started along the road to destruction. read more

Great Microbrewery, fantastic atmosphere, and killer views of the city. What more can you ask for? The staff is incredibly nice, and I will come here every timI am in town. read more

How's this for an idea. Build a brewery from scratch. Build a bar around it + restaurent. In terms of beer only serve the stuff you make. Sounds crazy? maybe but my gosh it works perfectly. I love this place! It looks like a set from DR WHO and the food you'd be hard pushed to equal in a decent restaurant. There's two beer gardens (well ones a lage balcony, the other is at the side and is a paved area with seating) Both are lovely in the summer and with the smoking ban firmly in place it's nice to be able to choose your location for a quick smoke. The big draw is the beer, there's five on tap including: Pils: a decent beer that will keep any lager fan happy all night. Wheat Beer: a tasty wheat beer not to dry and a wonderful straw colour. Pale Ale: My personal favourite an american style beer as good as anything on either side of the pond. Black Lager: Strong in flavour but not a killer on the alochol front so have a couple, it's very good. Speciality beer: My only problem with the sepciality beer is that 99% of the time it's mango beer, which is very nice, unusual but nice, however far to common here and the novelty does ware off. On occasion they do do a fantastic rasberry beer and i'm told in late autumn / winter they'll do a apple and cinammon beer - I have yet to see this though. The food is pretty much pizza or mussels but they're done with such care and attention in the open kitchen that you don't need anything else. This pub is worth a night out or three I could quite happily live here given half a chance. read more

Really, really nice beer. Shame it's like a bus station. When it gets full up, you can't hear a thing thanks to the acoustics. The lighting is interesting and the place very modern. Can't comment on the food, though I hear it's nice. I'll just have to go at some time when it's quieter and give it another go. read more

An interesting venue. The microbrewery situated on site offers a unique dining experience for the inhabitants of Bristol. The pizzas are excellent and come with a wide range of toppings. The ale is superb and brewed on site within the enormous casks that loom over head. A try before you buy service makes the dining experience refreshingly different and interactive. Although not the cheapest place to eat in Bristol, there are numerous deals, and the menu is varied enough to keep all ages content. There two pound beer deal i summer was a winner also. Owned by the infamous George Ferguson, this place is strangely inviting despite the cold industrial structure. read more

Zerodegrees offer drinks and food and a nice modern environment to enjoy them in. I have not tried the food, but I hear great things about it. The beers - brewed on site - are very good, and the Friday afternoon happy hour (until 7pm) really hits the spot after a week of work. There are two outisde seating areas, but I would advise to get there early if you intend to sit outisde, as during the summer it does get very busy. All in all, a nice place to sample some interesting beers (the mango ale is very nice!) and relax after a hard days work. read more

I love Zero degrees! Its such a fabulous place for a few drinks or for a nice cosy romantic and intimate meal for two. I can't rate it highly enough! As the previous reviewer said, they brew their own beers which in my book is totally unique and just adds to the atmosphere and intrigue of the place. Their menu in the restaurant is quite good, there are plenty of choices and all manner of dishes but vegetarians may be a little disappointed. However the food is cooked to perfection and the service is first rate. A little more expensive than your usual place but you are paying for quality here! read more

Pretty good restaurant this. Been there twice now and been impressed with the food both times, even though it is quite costly. The 2nd time I went there was because I had a 20% off. They do decent pizza's and oysters too. Add that to a good background atmospehere with music and the slightly bizzare downstairs, it all makes a reasonable restaurant read more

I love mussels! As in I love love LOVE mussels. I visited Brussels about a year ago where I sampled and fell deeply in love with moules et frites and fruit beer, not forgetting the mayo, so obviously I simply had to go to Zero Degrees to try out their kilo pots of mussels that I had heard about. For those of you non crustatian chompers never fear, for there is a pizza menu about as long as your arm as well as a selection of salads, pastas, appetizers and sausage and mash. So first and foremost, location! Well, prime really. It sits proud on the corner of Colston street and Park row. Combine this with its arresting exterior facade of glass and wood and one cannot help but be drawn to it. Secondly, the food. What of the mussels you may ask. Well, they were certainly ample, well cooked and the menu offers a selection of intriguing flavours. I had thai green curry mussels. Now I must reiterate that they were delicious, but I wasn't about to do cartwheels out the door over them. Thirdly, the service. No faults to be found here. Fast, friendly and efficient. That's all you can really hope for and especially noted considering how busy it was when I went (a Thursday evening) so well done. Fourthly, and this is where I think Zero Degrees really shines, the concept. Strange I know but bear with me. The architecture of the place is most definitely unlike anything else in Bristol, and then there is the interior. When you step inside the lofty heights of the futuristic, shiny interior your eye is immediately drawn to the visible mechanics of the brewery, all steel piping and enormous vats. You see Zero Degrees is actually a micro brewery, a rare and coveted thing these days in gastro culture. I slurped down an on site brewed Pilsner which really did taste very fresh, was served cold and was suitably morish. So cheers for that! Go to the website, www.zerodegrees.co.uk to read more about the beers they offer. Practical info: Well, sorry to have to say it but it is expensive. The mussels alone were £12.50 and pizzas start from about £8.00. There is a large car park right by the restaurant but that isn't cheap either. However buses run very regularly and stop a few doors down from it. Zero degrees I'd say is perfect for corporate events and work parties, largely due to its size but also due to the general feel of the place. I often see couples in their which surprises me because it is hardly romantic. To me it is the kind of place where the after work crowd would go to drink and eat and flash a bit of cash. There is sport on constant display and the bar does get busy. But it is still a pretty cool place to go and always draws large numbers of people so that speaks for itself. read more

It's a great piece of architecture. And it's great that they brew their own beer which are fab, by the way. But only three stars, because I never really enjoy going there for two fundamental reasons. If I'm out for a drink I like to sit and have a chat. And there's precious little opportunity for either. There's mostly standing room, which means you've got to keep hold of your drink (= usually results in you guzzling it) and stand right next to your bag or coat or whatever. Then the ceilings are high, the floor uncarpeted and the music kind of persistent - all of which is terrible for holding a conversation. You need to shout to be heard. And because everybody else is shouting too, sooner or later you end up with a sore throat and a headache. read more

Privacy Invaded, no apology offered I was at Zero Degrees in Bristol on the 17th of December for a 3 course Christmas meal. Just after we arrived I went to the toilet, and while I was in the cubicle the doorman (called Mike, employed by Metropolis Security) twice jumped up on top of the adjacent cubicle and looked down on me while I was exposed using the toilet. This is a ridiculous invasion of privacy. He then used very threatening language and accused me of taking drugs - a baseless and crazy accusation! He told me I either had to leave immediately or he would call the police where they would search me at the police station. I was completely taken aback by this, and even offered to empty my pockets and said he was welcome to call the police as I had done nothing wrong. After a while of more threatening language from the doorman, he eventually realised he had made a mistake, but rather than apologising he just walked off. My friend then told the acting manager what had happened, and in response we got no apology or discount. She simply shrugged and said she would ask the doorman what happened. This was a totally unsatisfactory response to what had happened. The sequence of events totally ruined my meal and experience and that of my friends. I didn't feel I could use the bathroom again for fear of being harassed. I am in the process of taking legal advice and considering taking legal action because of the behaviour of the doorman. At the very least I expected all the money back and an apology as it totally ruined our Christmas meal. I shouldn't have to pay to have my privacy invaded, be threatened and be made to feel like a criminal. When I later emailed the restaurant myself to make a complaint, they did contact Metropolis Security and forwarded the conversation. However there was no apology whatsoever, and no mention of a refund. Will never go again. read more

I've long been and admirer of this place, purely because it does everything in style. Te recent refurb has given the place a cosier feel and a splash of colour, but the beer and food is as delicious as ever. I always seem to grab myself a mango beer and the chicken in white wine sauce pizza - a match made in heaven. Oh, and happy hour is amazing! read more

I find micro breweries a little hit and miss at times and I think Zero degrees is more of a miss than a hit. For a start, I don't really like any of the beers they brew so that in itself makes me not want to go in, but even if I did like one, I'd still rather go some place else. The overriding problem is the atmosphere. Being a large open plan building catering for a restaurant and a bar area, the atmosphere is more akin to an airport lounge than a bar or a restaurant. The food on offer is Italian in style, specializing predominantly in pizzas for which they do reasonably well, but there are definitely better pizzerias in Bristol, so I can't really give it a whole hearted thumbs up. read more

The food here was outstanding and the service was fast and friendly. I happily ate a full pizza and fries which were very nice. The size of the portions were perfect and it came out hot. I definitely recommend coming here for a drink or a meal with family and friends.10/10 read more

Am I the only place in Bristol who finds this venue soul-less ? The food is quite good and the atmosphere when you're sat eating is great but as soon as you move into the big bar area any good vibes are sucked out of you. Not a great wine selection if you don't like your beers but a good starting place for a night out in town read more

Came here with my gf and we had the garlic mussels (which were bleh but that was her order and I didn't expect much from seafood in Bristol) and I had the caramelized pear pizza and holy heaven it was spectacular. Aside from that the service was good, the people very nice and the portions good sized for the price. I'd recommend it for the pizza. I had a sip of the gf's beer and it was alright (wheat beer). I wasn't too impressed read more

Zerodegrees is a very modern, cool bar. I love the futuristic decor. They do some really interesting beers which are brewed on site and they offer you tasters to help you make up you mind which one to order. It also has a large sun terrace overlooking Bristol. read more

Loved this place. We ordered salad, mussels, and pizza.. Everything was amazing, but I would have to say the mussels were the highlight. Our waiting was one of the best. Definitely recommend! read more

Excellent place for food or drink. The microbrewery produces a range of different beers that are all worth a try. They also sell beer to take away by the keg (useful for Christmas). Food is server in a light and airy dining area. Food ranges from good to very good depending what yuo order and on how busy they are. One of the best places for after work drinks in Bristol. read more

The beer here are great, a nice change from the fosters, stella etc. Not sure about the speciality Mango beer, although worth asking for a slice of orange in your wheat beer, it adds a zesty edge. I'm a big pizza fan and zero degrees is one of the best places. The pizza's are fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. I also like the fact they come quickly, no waiting ages. The sunday lunch aint bad either. Staff are always friendly and they've squeezed us in on more than one occasion. read more

This is my local pub and has a great happy hour and affordable prices. They do a special beer although for the past three years it has either been mango or christmas special. The best treat is the food and you can get a kilo of mussels with some chips and mayonnaise for a reasonable price (around £10?). The pizzas seem great although I am usually tempted by the mussels. A friend had the mexican one once and he had tears streaming down his face. The starter of haloumi wrapped in parma ham with sage inside is superb! definitely try it. The wine is nice too which is what I usually have. The happy hour is very very cheap and runs til about 7. read more

I went here with my family for my 21st birthday meal. The food was delightful and especially pleased my mum as she loves mussels and they had huge pots of mussels per customer with lots of different sauces. Their own-brewed mango beer, amongst others, was also thoroughly enoyable. The staff were very nice and it was encouraging to be able to see what was going on in the kitchen. My one complaint would be that it was quite cold in there (for April) so I would definitely wear a cardigan next time, and there WILL BE a 'next time'! read more

This restaurant and microbrewery combination makes for an extra special evening. A tasty, fresh and extensive menu of delicious pizzas, pastas, salads, plus more, coupled with the additive free, unpasturised beer produces a perfect combination. Why not enjoy a caramerlised pear and gorgonzola pizza, washed down with a pint of mango beer! read more

Zero Degrees is a restaurant that serves tasteful dinners such as pasta, except there is a twist. A unique beer brewery is part of the restaurant and its' beer choices include Wheat Ale in varying flavours. The design is futuristic and clean when you walk inside; it almost looks like the set of A.I before you get to the restaurant. This minimalist look works to make the restaurant appealing without distracting the customer to the real attraction: the pizza and pasta. read more
