According to a new study, Bristol has been named one of the best places in the country to enjoy a refreshing cold drink in the sun.
And with with an impressive 184 beer garden options to pick from for some outdoor boozing, you can see why.
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!
5. The Hole in The Wall, Queen Square
A little bit more upmarket in style than some of the other pubs mentioned, The Hole in the Wall is a brilliant spot for taking in the views of the harbourside, as well as people watching those making their way into town from Temple Meads. It’s a large space and nearly always possible to find somewhere to sneak a spot on a sunny day so get there early. | The Hole in The Wall
6. The Farm, St Werburgh’s
The Farm is a great option for those of you who love to feel as though you’ve escaped the city. Next to St Werburgh’s City Farm, it’s a beer garden that fills up fast but has plenty of outdoor space for you to enjoy. With plenty of tables, different areas from lawn to courtyard vibe, and a wide variety of good drinks, it’s a great place for those long summer evenings. | The Farm
7. Beeses, Brislington
Still one of Bristol’s best-kept secrets - despite being there since 1846 when it was a tea garden - Beeses is a wonderful riverside bar with a terrace and garden quite literally on the water’s edge. The burgers are worth the trip, as is the Bristol Beer Factory ale. | Beeses
8. The Lock Keeper, Keynsham
Situated just a ten-minute drive from Bristol, and a short walk from Keynsham train station, The Lock Keeper boasts a stunning riverside location with a huge beer garden. The food is excellent, as is the range of Young’s beers. It even has its own pétanque pitch. | Lock Keeper
