Mall, Clifton, Bristol

Again, better than I expected. A sign reads 'downstairs for the Secret Garden'. If I was trying to keep something secret I wouldn't put a sign up.

White Lion, Clifton, Bristol

Not too up its own arse for the area. Nice view of the bridge and gorge, and good for watching footy. And that's it mainly. 

Lamb & Lion, Bath

Walking into a pub and finding £6 credit on the quiz machine - priceless.

The Mrs insisting on losing the lot on bingo - murder

Molloy's, Bath

Plastic Paddy pub thankfully lacking in plastic Paddies and mostly full of England  supporters. Also some French blokes who are being very sportsman-like by wearing Wales scarves (after their defeat yesterday)

Rising Sun, Bath

Busy back street pub with good beer and a pleasingly high bar-staff-to-punters ratio. A bit modernised for my liking but I'm not complaining.

Bath Brew House, Bath

Cask ale £3.40 a pint, keg 'craft' beer £5 a pint. 'The Emperor's New Clothes' springs to mind. 

King's Head, Bedminster Down, Bristol

Nice boozer but it's miles from the bus stop and it's pissing down!

Cross Hands, Bedminster Down, Bristol

Shithole where the IQ of the bar staff is so low that they're only able to serve people they've seen before.

Drawbridge, Bristol

Typical city centre pub full of rugby fans and the usual hen/stag parties. What could possibly go wrong?

Seven Stars, Bristol

Very quiet. If only they were showing the rugby, it would be packed. Maybe.

Crown, Bristol

Rock pub, not normally busy at this time of day put packed today, I assume for the rugby. Which is why the clientele is disappointingly mainly male, as opposed to the usual scantily-clad rock chicks.

Bank Tavern, Bristol

I was followed in by a group of ale enthusiasts on a pub crawl. Thankfully they're not talking loudly about beer and none have oversized rucksacks.

Star Inn, Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire

Nice little locals' boozer with attire ranging from suits to plaster-covered work trousers, and a choice of ale or rough cider. Diversity is always a good thing.

The Bull, Hinton, Gloucestershire

Wadworth country pub with good beer, real fire and the hits of Burt Bacharach playing. What's not to like?

Crown, Longwell Green, Bristol

Shit Harvester with no ale. Plenty of dickheads though.

Brassmill, Keynsham

Sat in front of a real fire supping ale, while the river outside is at bursting point. I like to live dangerously.
