With it being the Bank Holiday weekend, we’re hoping to enjoy a refreshing cold drink in the sun.
And with hundreds beer garden options to pick from for some outdoor boozing, it’s difficult to know where’s best to visit.
But don’t panic, we’ve done the hard work and reduced the list to 10 of the best places in Bristol for a pint in the sun...enjoy!
1. Bambalan, City Centre
If views are what you are after and a feeling of being on holiday somewhere a little more exotic than Bristol, then Bambalan roof terrace might be just the spot for you. Often hosting DJ sets and an Ibiza atmosphere, there’s good food on offer and plenty of cocktails, too. | Bambalan
2. The Crown, Saltford
It doesn’t give too much away from the road - the busy A4 from Bristol to Bath - but step inside this old coaching inn and you’ll soon discover one of the best beer gardens for miles. It’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours in the sun with a pint and one of the pub’s famous pizzas or pies. | Crown
3. The Ostrich, Redcliffe
One of the largest beer gardens in the city and one of the best boozers in the city, The Ostrich has an idyllic setting on the edge of the water, with a view across to Thekla and the harbourside. A great thing about this beer garden is that you can enjoy it whatever the weather, as since they revamped the space, there are plenty of undercover areas to choose from as well as open-air spots. | Ostrich
4. The Lazy Dog, Ashley Down
The Lazy Dog in Ashley Down has a wonderful little beer garden (well, it’s not that small) with a walled garden, lawn, plenty of tables and pontoon lights that twinkle away over your head as you enjoy beers from local breweries and great food. | Lazy Dog
