Your favourite pubs and haunts

Oh yeah, pubs outside of Bristol.

Already mentioned the Jolly Sailor in Saltford - there's a couple of nice pubs in Long Ashton as well, and the Black Horse in Clapton in Gordano is very cosy in the winter. I cycled there once and I was so thirsty I downed a whole pint in one go!
 
the horseshoe in downend is a decent local boozer, nice and rowdy, they do a fair bit of live music there, and there's a nice 'hidden' garden for those who like a bit of green space...
 
king charles on king square avenue off stokes croft - went in there for the first time in ages, it's a lovely little boozer, nothing flash, fantastic crowd of 'colourful characters' swapping stolen goods anecdotes, spilling pints, singing irish rebel songs and playing cribbage :cool:

definitely my new daytime local :D

Used to go in there sometimes - I wonder if the locals who used to go in the Pint & Pie go there now - there was one old bloke called Brian who was in the P&P all the time.
 
Yeah, they're all fucking bonkers in there.

Nice barmaid too :cool: Watch out for the very odd Blackthorn though :eek:
 
The King Charles used to be a regular haunt when I was in Militant. One of the girls used to work in there. I think they've all decamped to the Hare on the Hill now though.

I used to go in there at lunchtimes but the food isn't much to write home about, so I usually go the The Bell now.
 
Can anyone please recommend some good pubs in that there Bath, preferably in a Hillgrove/Bell/OE/Cadbury House kinda style? :)

Girlfriend? You poof. You'll be kissing them next.

A girlfriend. ;)

We were an item once, but I think we've since moved beyond that. Now all we wanna do is ride bikes and drink like lunatics, baby... :cool:

i like the one on victoria street, and the one in totterdown :)

Yep, there's also one in Prince Street (which has been mentioned previously I think and is a very nice old fashioned boozer) and one in Redland, which I haven't been to in years.

Sure there's a few more than that dotted around as well.
 
well the only ones in the yellow pages and the thomson are prince street, totterdown and redland... can't think of any more off the top of my head. bristlolian would know, he's graced most of the hostelries in bristol :D
 
Following from the pub in Glastonbury thread, I thought I'd bring this back to the surface...

Have to read what's been said again first tho' :)

Jubilee Inn, Flax Bourton - do good pints (eg. Bath Ales) and have a massive garden.
The name of this pub has changed to the Dew Drop Inn - still have Bath Ales mind, and the garden is still a massively lush place to have a pint after work (a few minutes drive away).

Anyone try the Wild Hare (Organic) Bath Ale at the organic food festival the other week? Tasty drop. Anyone know anywhere that sells it?
 
the bell in bath is my fave pub ever :) lots of real ales and ziiiders, cool crusty types, fab bands, beer garden, dogs, kids, papers ;) ;) ;) hmm, may go to bell right now :)

the bell, the bell! the one in bath!!! walcot street to be precise...come now, come now!!need to celebrate 'talk like a pirate day' :D
 
The Bell is a good pub. I used to drink there regularly in the mid 90s, along with the Hat & Feather (RIP).

Do they still have an internet café out the back?
