8 of Bristol's best pubs according to The Times - see the full list
The best pubs in Bristol have been revealed according to The Times.
The newspaper’s beer expert Pete Brown has picked eight of his favourite boozers in our city.
He writes: “Crammed with independent traders, plastered with street art and gig posters, and brimming with a youthful, hipster-meets-hippy energy, Bristol has one of the UK’s most vibrant beer scenes.
“There are now more than 20 breweries in and around the city — it vies with Sheffield for having most breweries per capita. Lost and Grounded, Left Handed Giant, Bristol Beer Factory, Wiper and True and Arbor are nationally renowned, while smaller micropubs and brewpubs seem to crop up under every other railway arch.
“Bristol is also the capital of cider country, between the orchards of the West Country and Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.”
Here are the eight best pubs in Bristol according to The Times:
1. The Swan with Two Necks, 12 Little Ann Street
2. The Green Man, 21 Alfred Place
3. The Duke of York, 2 Jubilee Road
4. Kings Head, 60 Victoria Street
5. The Orchard Inn, 12 Hanover Place, Harbourside
6. Merchant’s Arms, 5 Merchants Road, Hotwells
7. Small Bar, 31 King Street
8. The Barlow Mow, 39 Barton Road, St Philips
