7 Best Gastropubs near Bristol

“Always a great time here!!“

“With warm weather in June, we sat outside on The Oak Patio to watch musician Timmy Maia cover well-known songs. The Oak Patio serves the TimeOut Sports & Pizza Bar menu which includes usual pub fare such as burgers, gourmet pizza, appetizers, salads and sandwiches plus a few high end dinners. Full bar with craft beers in addition to a good selection of wine. Arrive early if you want to sit in the comfortable sectional and seatings in front of the stage inside the fenced in area. Our friends got there an hour before the show and we still could only be seated at a table for four outside the fence, which allows diners to see the entertainment but through the iron bars.All of our food and drinks were very good and served in a timely manner: coconut shrimp, calamari and nachos for starters. Kobe burger with bacon and fried egg; French dip handheld sandwich with sliced beef, cheddar and au jus; Jerry Pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni.My partner, an old friend of Timmy's wanted to say hi during intermission so we went through the lobby of the Doubletree hotel by Hilton Hotel where this venue is located in Bristol, and went inside the enclosure so they could shake hands, catch up and take some photos. It's a nice place to get out and have a meal with or without a band. There's a lot of greenery, palms, plants and white lights under a white tented roof for the enclosed main area.“

“Met friends here for our weekly Sunday get together. We’re enjoying making our way through the menu. Today my friends had the October special salmon and risotto which they both enjoyed. I had the fish and chips-highly recommend. Light flaky fish coated in a light crispy crunchy batter and fresh crisp fries. Delicious. We were all full. My friends decided to try the pumpkin cake—-a delicious triple layer cake. Moist and full of flavor. They had a couple bites and took the rest home.“

“The food blew me away for a tavern. It was delicious from the appetizer to the desert. Best meatball I ever ate. Would definitely drive the distance back to eat here again.“
