The Little Grosvenor: We visit the cheapest pub in Bristol were you can get a pint for £2
We visited the cheapest pub in Bristol - and it’s full of character.
Overlooking the river towards the Redcliffe tower blocks, near Bedminster Bridge, The Little Grosvenor is one of the few “proper” pubs in Bristol where you can get a pint for £2.
As we approached the small Victorian Pub, we were greeted by the “no shoplifters” and “cash only” signs on the door. Luckily, the Asda ATM is only a short walk away, and after a quick detour we were ready for our visit.
The smell of alcohol and tobacco lingered in the air as we made our way to the bar for a cheeky afternoon drink which was decorated with photos from the regular locals during the Christmas season.
The drink menu was also on display and showed prices ranging from £2.75 for a bottled and £2.70 for a Cheddar Valley or Stans Traditional to £1 for any soft drink.
“That’s Dance” was playing on the TVs, including the one by the small beer garden were most of the regulars were, making the pub quite lively.
Unsure of what cider to order, I asked the bartender for recommendations.
She was very helpful, and even brought out a can of each fruity cider after I told her I enjoyed sweet ciders.
I decided on the Thatchers Rose cider, which was only £2.20 and decided to take a seat outside to enjoy the sunny weather.
The garden had multiple wooden benches set across the walls with small square tables scattered in between.
As I listened to the banter between the regulars and the bartender, it became, along with the photos spotted earlier, that The Little Grosvenor is very much a “locals” pub with a strong community.
The regulars were quite friendly and the bartender was very nice and asked whether I had enjoyed my drink as I was leaving.
