Good Beer Guide

Bag Of Nails, Bristol

Improve This Listing

Bristol's famous 'cat pub' is a small and quirky free house in a Victorian terrace, featuring not only its many feline residents roaming free, but also glowing portholes in the wooden floor and an eclectic music mix played on a record player. Six changing cask ales are served, both from local breweries and elsewhere, usually including a dark beer. Various bottled beers are also available. No draught lager is sold. Tuesday is quiz night. Board games and a Lego collection are available for customers, with a Board Games night every Wednesday. The pub sometimes hosts tap takeovers. Due to the ever-present cats, dogs are not welcome. No children under 14.

Information for this venue is provided by the Bristol & District Branch of CAMRA
