bishops tavern in Bristol, City of

We were served by Max (fella with glasses). Food was lovely, quick service, I was also recommended wine which was unexpected but appreciated!

My friend and I had Saturday lunch in this pub and we thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend has several food allergies, so we are sometimes limited to where we can go, but the pub was super catering to her needs. We had a lovely conversation with the bar manager, Emily, who gave us recommendations for things to do in Bristol while we were staying there. Would highly recommend the pub if you’re swinging by Bristol!

I recently visited for the first time. The atmosphere is great to watch sports. I had a burger which I really enjoyed. The prices were reasonable and the service was great. I really like the look of the place and sets a comfortable vibe. Definitely on my radar to visit again.

This place is alright but one of the last places I'd choose in the area. The darts board is often out of action cause of the lay out of the place. Not really that cheap considering it's a chain pub, which often don't provide the same feel as a real pub. And the food is honestly far more expensive than it should be able to charge. No atmosphere.

Max was amazing, best wine I’ve ever had. 10/10 would come again

Only stopped by for a drink but, all good

Great boozer with good vibes! The staff were very friendly and helpful

£2 pints here are amazing value! Christian served us well and made us feel welcome’! It was so busy and there was something going on everywhere!

Chain pub with a good choice of food and very friendly staff.

Really enjoyed the burger. Good selection of beers.

Nice and masculine pubs with varies of pints and drinks. Staff is very calm and friendly.

Wonderful place to exist in for an evening. Amazing staff that you can see genuinely care about your experience. Food was excellent and not expensive at all for what it was. Shall definitely be returning ✨

Becoming a bit of a regular at the bishops tavern. always very welcoming by all the staff. always a good spot to go and watch the sport.

Always a good time at the Bishops. Most recently I spent the euros final there, and yet again they did not disappoint (unlike the football). Service is always good and the best place to watch sport on Gloucester Road. I highly recommend.

Lovely pub. We stopped by for lunch with our daughter whilst attending an event nearby. Food and service was 10/10. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent food, service and the staff was fantastic and super friendly. The pub had a great atmosphere and a good selection of drinks at the bar!

Bishops tavern is a warm and comfy atmosphere. Great TV’s to watch all the sports. The staff are amazing and friendly 10/10 experience. Food is brilliant as well and great student discount!

Nice settings, good prices. Their locally brewed beer was a nice discovery 🍺

Super friendly and helpful service, food was delicious (solid pub food done really well), very good value, especially the kids meals. Their verdict: "The best pub ever!" 😉

GREAT PRICES FOR STUDENTS, FRIENDLY STAFF, ATEMPESHERE WAS PERFECT. Sky sports and bunch of games to play. deffo coming here again soon

Really great service. Emily on the bar was very welcoming. Played their Shufl game, which is new to me. loved it. As an ale drinker I was impressed with the quality. Definetly will return..

An out of town gem with a good selection of ales and friendly bar staff

On the plus side, I had a reasonable glass of house white here for £4 and, on a Tuesday evening, there was plenty of comfortable seating. But the pub doesn’t do charm - it’s dominated by large tvs and gambling machines. For some reason while I was there the already loud music was turned up even more.

Reasonably priced, clean, and friendly staff. I haven't eaten here.

I went here with a friend on a Sunday and the experience was exceptional. The staff were so friendly here, the sunday roast I had was a generous portion and delicious and one of the best things of all was the cost of everything! It was such great value for money, especially seeing as it's located in such a fabulous and popular area of Bristol. I was served by Sam and Chris and they were so sweet and friendly. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone, especially as everything is so expensive nowadays. It is a jewel in a crown 💓

This is a great pub to bring your family to watch sport, especially six Nations. I recommend this pub

Played Shuffle board. Was a really good time, and a great laugh with a couple mates. Also very cheap - especially if you go before 7pm Mon-Thurs

Great pub, nice friendly staff with a good atmosphere..

Was passing through alone and recieved a warm welcome and great service so felt totally relaxed. Thank you.

Love a pint here on a Saturday afternoon. Great place to watch the football, and looking forward to the euros this summer. My friends and me will be in.

Great food and wonderful staff, an amazing place to go out.

Good boozer, friendly staff, really good chicken burger

Not to bad for a trendy pub on Gloucester Road. I'm pretty sure I had a cup of tea cos I'm hard-core like that

sam was amazing and very attentive, cook was also amazing, both very nice and super helpful with our big food order

Came in the other night for a quiet drink, Chris and max on the bar - very friendly made me feel very welcome, excellent service!

Max and Chris were amazing please give them a payrise xx

The half chicken roast is amazing with friendly staff. Defo come back! Thanks guys!

The food was lovely. Hot on arrival and very well cooked. Lovely staff and a warm atmosphere. I would recommend to others

Visited as part of Halloween pub crawl. It was a lot of fun 😊

Nice good but no atmosphere, Saturday late lunch and it was dead! Really disappointing.

Another great evening at Bristols leading pub, you have to try shuffleboard for a fun evening.

Really enjoyed my first time here with my son for dinner tonight, food was fantastic & well presented. Friendly, quick service from Chris who served us. Really nice, clean Friendly place, would definitely come again. Thank you for a pleasant experience.

Another great night in a great sports bar. Perfect bar snacks and an awesome Guinness - sign of a good pub. Great playlist in the background.

Good pint whilst catching up with news

It's not a bad pub , barman ok but I'm not much of a footie fan and it was everywhere, grub smelt nice and looked good, but me n me mate were a bit thirsty. Cheers

Myself and my good lady of 30years plus had our first date days in the Bishops after 18 to 24 months of madness as my love had a memory lapse I cannot thank all the crew in the best pub on the road for there supreme service by the way your a lucky girl as my wee tiger likes you you not only but all your staff made sure my wife was enjoying herself and cool with the surroundings cheers 💙 ❤️

Fantastic pub - bar tender Emily always giving great service with a smile

Such a quality place! Would defo recommend to anyone in the area, Emily is an absolute legend by the way :)

Good local pub and nice vibe. Emily at the bar was givin pure vibes and giving off great energy and enthusiasm !

Excellent pub with no shortage of tvs for sport

Came here for the rugby. Great service and the young lad behind the bar was so friendly and helpful, really good food and service. Would definitely recommend.

Really nice pub for food, drinks great staff and management. I believe children and pets allowed as long as you mind them. Many screens for various sports and a darts board also a game known as shufl which is interesting. Watched the women's world cup final and was a great atmosphere.

Very delicious 😋 Katsu chicken burger. Well done 👏

Lovely pub with even more lovely staff

Such a lovely pub! Owen, Christian and Chloe made me feel so accommodated. They cared for my needs an really made my experience as amazing as it could be! A top pub!

Good atmosphere but disappointed in the food. I went there for Sunday lunch. It was dry, veggies were dry and unseasoned. The chicken was nicely crisp but no seasoning and was cooked as if it was made in the air fryer. The potatoes were alright, some were good and others stale and hard. The Yorkshire pudding was the most disappointing. It was dense and definitely not a traditional Yorkshire. The gravy helped a lot and made the meal nicer than what was but tasted like branded/ stock cube gravy. The stuffing didn’t really make an impression. Overall the food needed seasoning and I’d rate a 1/5 for the food but the ambiance is a good vibe.

I did not have food on this visit, maybe next time. Helpful staff & had a pleasant atmosphere inside. I like the traditional games on offer. If you are a sports fan, there is plenty of places to sit with friends to watch a match.

Owen and Christian are absolutely fabulous, cater to your every need and are so polite. Deffo recommend.

Good prices, good games, good TVs… and great pub food. The katsu chicken burger is amazing

Amazing pub with a reasonably priced menu for food and drinks. Beat value for money on Cheltenham Road.

Nice quirky pub and good atmosphere

The staff are lovely, recently come back to Bristol from travels and nothing has changed in that half a year. One of my favourites places to go and chill.

Good food, super helpful and friendly staff.

Fab place to go watch some cricket have a pint and play some shuffle board. Went in with family on Friday afternoon, Please was quiet, had a great time playing shuffleboard (new one on me ) Couple of Guinness (well kept) and the staff was friendly and good service. Can't ask for more all of us happy and impressed Clean tidy, lots of tvs for the sport and beer at an OK price what more do you need

As a long standing patron of this bar I was amazed to be treated in the way I was tonight. I feel violated in my value set having being told when leaving the bar that I had made a Thai family uncomfortable with my engaging behaviour. Despite being welcomed by the family for discussion the bar person (Owen) upon leaving made me feel inferior explaining (for the first time) my discussion had been not been welcomed by the Thai family. Mortified

After an excellent day out we all met Gloscter Road. Visited the Bishop's Tavern where they have an excwllent array of choice on tap. Being a proper Wetscountry lad and Cider drinker it was great to see not one but three rypes of Lily's cider boxes cilling away in the fridge. I went for a couole of pints of the Lily's Sunset which was beautiful. We then proceeded to play shuffleboard which was loads of fun and kept us entertained for a couple of hours, drinking, playing variations of the game and having fun. There was a fairly busy period and staff were quick and effecient and the place was kept tidy, no lingering empties or sticky table tops.

Nice atmosphere, lots of TVs and great value for money food

Big, popular pub with plenty of drink choices and big screens.

We were drawn in by the sound of a live Dj playing some great floor fillers, Lots of friendly staff so no waiting to get served drinks, great atmosphere, plenty of dancing, had a great night. Can't recommend enough and looking forward to going again soon......

Came here for my mates 40th, had never been but was recommended by family so thought we should go there. I was pleasantly surprised by the great service and not to forget the atmosphere which was nice.

We all have to say how welcoming & very helpful all the staff were at the Bishops Tavern especially with my mum who is disabled. We cannot thankyou all enough with being so kind & lovely. Keep up the good work you lovely lot!

Came in today with my significant other for lunch and we had such a good time. Quick service and such nice staff. Thom was especially attentive, really easy to talk to and super nice lad. Will be back for sure.

Severs extremely rude, horrible atmosphere and when you order a double they give you a single. Can't believe how bad the service was. Never go here

Been twice recently, had food both times, very impressed! Will definitely be back again soon. This is a great place to watch live sport, good atmosphere, friendly patrons, and all of the staff are very attentive. Emily especially, this girl knows how to run a pub, always makes everyone feel very welcome, very hard working and keeps the place clean and running well. Thanks alot! Recommend the Bishop's Tavern to anyone.

I went to bishops tavern and was greeted nicely by cori and John. Really friendly staff and had a nice time. Tom was equally nice and pleasant when sorting my partners subsequent order. Thank you for looking after us

Despite being a busy night the bar tender (John) made sure we got our drinks quickly and in customer order. Fair play as it is very rare to see such good bar management these days.

Popped in Friday evening for a few beers, met by a helpful member of staff called John who was extremely knowledgeable on the beer....so much so he convinced me to try something different which I thoroughly enjoyed. I will be back.!!!

Visited today with my partner and 2 daughters. We had food which was lovely. Chloe was very approachable and struck up conversation when I ordered a coffee after my food. There was also a chap on the bar chad he was very friendly and grated...

Came in to watch the football on Thursday with some friends, favourite place on Gloucester Road to watch it. Ended up staying for the open mic, was a good laugh, and the two guys working, tom and Chris, were great.

The staff were super friendly on our arrival, I believe it was cori and Christian that made our visit, plenty of pints and good atmosphere x

Popped in to watch the champions league semi final. Great beer, love an estrella, at a reasonable price too. Friendly, helpgful service from cori and christian who recommended me the katsu burger which was delicious and great value for money.

Visited this pub over the weekend for the first time,was amazing service from all staff food was excellent and tasty,will definitely be back again with friends

Absolutely love it here! Perfect place to start a pub crawl into the city centre, staff are friendly and always up for some good banter. Emily and her team are incredible, thank you for helping me and my mates always have a sick time here!

Such a lovely place, lots of drink to choose from and the bar persons were very accommodating. I will be back for another night when it is more busy.

Staff are all very welcoming, the pub is very clean with plenty of space and TV's for the footy. I had the Sunday roast, chicken. Hit the spot.

Great pub with a nice atmosphere, excellent service, Jack and Tristan were very friendly! The toilets were clean and fresh, atmosphere was perfect! Can’t wait to come back!

Such a lovely atmosphere and charming boys behind the bar nice to see this place open again will be back soon

Lovely place, Chloe was super accommodating ;) good food great booze. Company was slightly lacking. Conversion was weak.
