The Old Bookshop - Bristol, City of

Lovely pub with really good beer, and a nice vegetarian menu. The huge Mezcal menu was also a nice surprise! The only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars is that the punk music soundtrack can get a bit relentless after an hour or so, it would be nice if the owners mixed up the music a bit more. Have visited 5 or so times and the music is always the same, and sadly not my kind of thing.

My first visit here on the evening of Sat Sep 03, and what a pleasure it was. Trying to find fault, but really can't great decor and background music, a really friendly and relaxed vibe with a great mix of people. Unbelievable selection of drinks , and the food was delicious, and extremely reasonably priced. Also thanks to the young lady who served me really friendly and helpful (sorry don't know your name). Wish this was my local already looking forward to my next visit. Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved here I wish you all the best during these trying times for the pub industry. PS hello to Will and Kate who kept me company.

I have upgraded my original 4* review to 5*. The Bookshop was always a good pub, but since it has changed ownership it has gone from strength to strength. The drink selection is crazily good, with lots of craft beers and ciders that you wouldn't normally find elsewhere. It's dog friendly and the staff are lovely. For such a small pub they've done really well to make it more spacious inside. Love the atmosphere of this place, good decor, music and vibe.

Nice place to unwind and chill after a long day! Great beers and even better range of food! Highly recommend

Great food, the waitress (maybe cook? serving the food was so friendly and we really enjoyed ourselves I can confirm the smoked lager with the poppadoms and spicy mango chutney, is a match made in heaven!!
