Bristol Beer Factory in Bristol, City of

Bristol’s most upmarket taproom. Great range of BBF beers on cask and keg. And huge range of cans to take home. Very friendly service. Beer tasting is great value. For £20 you effectively get 3 pints plus two hours of insightful narrative from a brewer. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place for your family needs

Nice and cosy place to taste gorgeous Bristol beers!

Love this place. Amazing beers, fantastic service, great food AND right at the heart of the BS3 community

Awesome beer and best loo in Bristol!

My daughter went here recently for a private function. She enjoyed it.

Great staff interesting place nice food

Lovely atmosphere,peaceful place to sit and have a pint, nice staff I like the tap room 👍

I have been visiting the Taproom on a regular basis for a while now, the beer is always outstanding and varied, which for me is great. Food is top notch too! On top of that the staff have always been super friendly and knowledgable about the product, offering service with a smile and some friendly banter to boot. My dog is made very welcome too and is always made comfortable. I recently visited with some friend who have never been before and they couldn’t say anything but nice things about the staff, beer and atmosphere. The whole set up, especially the friendly environment created by staff keeps me coming back for more!! Thanks for your hospitality and great beer

Popped in for a swift pint and the place was so nice I ended up staying for several more! The staff were great at talking me through all the beers, letting me taste everything too, they really know their stuff! Settled on this absolute beauty valley of Eden, probably my new favourite beer! Didn’t eat this time but will definitely be back with the kids for a Sunday roast. 10/10 spot a must visit!

Best place to start and meet friends before the rugby and drink the best beer in bristol

I have championed their beers for years, but tonight had a really unpleasant experience. Was sat with a friend with their toddler who had just gone to change their nappy. When they got back, I realised that I had to do the same with my newborn. Asked him where the changing facilities were, but couldn’t find them, so asked at the bar. Got a sarcastic ‘we don’t have baby changing facilities…. Why would I lie’, to which I said ‘are you sure because my friend has literally just been’, as I was walking away there was eye rolling and sniggering. I went back to the table who then led me to the facilities. I went back to the bar, politely, and showed a photo of where they were- met with dismissal and more eye rolling. So a) know your facilities and b) don’t be so rude and argumentative to your customers, and accept when you’re in the wrong. For all their talk of supporting mental health and inclusivity, things like this make me think it’s completely hollow. Beers, food, baby changing facilities, and other staff all lovely . Can’t recommend at all if you’ve actually had a baby.

Nice space , pleasant atmosphere.however the Beer was below par! (Fortitude) On this visit.

Nice friendly pub. Great local beers and cider

Quality selection of beers with a relaxed atmosphere. Tried their local IPA cask which was great. Good number of their own take out beer cans for home drinking.

Lots of different beer to try , lots of seating available .

Great selection of beers on tap, plenty of seating indoors and a few outdoor

Cracking place for a pint of independently brewed ale. Super friendly staff, and a warm welcome for those visiting the city to watch a game at Ashton Gate.

Went on Saturday lunch time for beers before Football. Very nice lager.

Called in on a Saturday morning food shopping trip whilst visiting the Balloon Fiesta. North Street is a vibrant and likeable area with lots of attractive businesses. BBF was a highlight for us, and we look forward to our next opportunity to visit there again.

Very kind staff with amazing drinks!! The overall vibe is inviting and you’ll never been disappointed here !! In addition lost my passport and they kept it safe and gave it back to me !! Amazing crew highly recommend and couldn’t suggest it enough !!

Love the burgers from Cord Kitchen - good beer selection, great tap room!

Great beer, excellent bar, definitely recommend if you're in the area

Had a peanut butter and kimchi chicken burger with honey and sriracha wings that was amazing. Very nice staff and vibe. Would recommend.

Great beer, good food, what more do you need

It was a very busy afternoon but the beer was excellent.

Love this place. Great beer selection, nice veggie food, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Decent value to with a nice atmosphere, what more could you want!

Almost cosy atmosphere for a craft beer place. Very welcoming feel to it. Beer is good but obviously depends on what you like. Food outstanding. Had the chicken wings with honey sriracha sauce and they were some of the best chicken wings we've ever had. The burgers sound amazing, so have to come back when we're hungry.

Came here for a birthday roast. 18 of us. Had a long table. Food was delicious. Service great. Would recommend 👌

Reasonable place spoilt by shoddy customer focus. Dropped in for a midday pint, told wemust have plastic mugs (everyone in the room had glass). Manager said it was a”rule” for the football crowd. Explained I was there for a pint not football to no avail. Needless to say my missus refused to drink out of plastic at a price of £5.70 so not a good experience. Luckily there are alternatives so after many years I’ll be buying my boxes of beer elsewhere in future

This is a gem of a place. Watched the rugby in front of a large projector..the atmosphere was cracking with a good mix of Welsh and English there. Beer is great and reasonably priced for a city venue. A bit of a walk from temple meads but well worth it.

Great ales and helpful staff and now a new pub called the junction near the m shed and the harbour.

Amazing place for those GF beer lovers! So many GF beer options on tap - and a lovely place too- very chill and tasty food too!

I love this place. I've also hired the function room for events. It's a great space, food is absolutely delicious and if you need to show a film or video they have a big screen too. I also love coming here with friends for food and drinks.

Great service and of course, a fantastic range of beer to suit everyone... Food was great too

Bad beer and can't clean a table to save their life. One friend brought a beer from outside and that was the first time I've seen them leave the bar just to say "you really shouldn't bring a beer from outside in here"

Fantastic beers in a quirky tap room. Great place to chill & enjoy one of the latest brews created just behind the bar - talk about beer metres - you're doing your bit for the planet too!!! Plenty of BBF classics like Independence & Southville Hop on draught together with a constantly rotating range of newer inventions. Cider too, this is Bristol after all 😎 Friendly knowledgeable staff always on tap.

Nice pub with interesting beers.

Great venue! Own brewed beers on tap and fabulous food! The chicken burgers are sublime. Handy walking distance from Ashton Gate Stadium. Recommended!

Decent place, nice beer, awful spirits but guess that's why it's a beer factory :-)

Really great selection of burgers (and currywurst specials) along with the good BBF beer. Not cheap, cheap, but food I've had there has always been really good value for it.

Top Notch pints as you would expect as brewed on site. Not cheap when you consider it's wheeled a matter from metres from the brewery so they don't have to incur the transport, packaging, Admin costs etc when shipped to other areas of the country where oddly its sold at same price (?!) so have clearly capitalised on the trendy concept of "tap rooms". Staff always friendly and helpful and can vouch for the roast on a sunday being very good. The roast pork was awesome. Wouldn't mind a slightly larger portion and crispier roasties though. Glad I didn't order the beef though as it was two thin slithers of overcooked beef.

Nice selection of ales and reeeeally nice take on currywurst with delicious pickles on top. Will defo do this again :-)

Good place to make a stop and try on some local beers.

Great place for a drink and meeting with friends good service recommended

Good to visit at last and didn’t disappoint, great choice of beers including the excellent Clear Head low alc, good venue for after Bristol rugby

Great place, good vibe and wonderful beer. Good burgers, awesome combo to go with a couple of beers.

Went for the rugby, great atmosphere and even better pints!!

Actually a much nicer place than I thought it was and the prices don't bite

Great Ale ! Great Staff ! Just don't go on match day lol

I have been a fan of the brewery for a few years, so whilst I was in the area I decided to go to their local tap room. I was not disappointed. The beers are excellent here, with a nice selection of their range. I also got some food here which was good quality. Its seems a popular venue to come to. If you like real ales, this is the place for you.

I visited the taproom over the weekend, was served by a really lovely girl, pretty sure she was called Phoebe - heard another staff member say her name! had a lovely chat with her and when I wasn’t sure what to go for, she helped me pick out a beer based on what I usually go for (had a lovely pint of laser juice!), just overall super friendly and helpful service, really made my experience so enjoyable! Thank you!!

I was amazed to find all the beers were gluten free. They also had an alcohol free option that was super hoppy so it really felt alcoholic. The back room was fun as it had a dart board and table football as well.

I have visited the taproom before and that's always been 1st class, but this Sunday I popped in to try the roast. I thought it would be good, but it was really delicious and worthy of a review. I had the beef, and friends had the lamb and chicken and everyone was impressed. Lots of gravy too. The beef paired lovely with the pale ales on offer! At £15 it was very fairly priced for the quality. Will be coming back again.

Very nice beer suggested by the excellent and knowledgeable gentleman behind the bar, atmosphere was a relaxed and chilled little dark. We chilled out side with and enjoyed the evening. Would highly recommend a visit if you enjoy a good craft beer...

This would be 5☆, but there's a problem with the high tables and chairs in the dining room. I needed to climb up to get onto the chair and get my husband to push me in. The table was then about armpit height, leaving me feeling like a 10 year old. The food, the beer and the staff are all really great! I came for the Sunday roast, the meat was tender and the large number of vegetables delicious. The roast potatoes had a hint of garlic and rosemary, nice and subtle, and the chopped mixed greens were buttery and peppery. My confit chicken leg was sublime! The main bar is more relaxed with a variety of tables and chairs, and is the main pub, or rather, tap room. A no frills approach that was very popular the day I visited, especially with the men.

Does exactly what it says it says on the tin! + food (inc Sundays), wine, spirits and mega screen for sports.

Really decent spot in Bedminster. There’s a great selection of beers and it’s very spacious. Good spot to watch sport too as they have a large screen projector. Only do bottles of Coke here which is slightly disappointing.

Great beers, great atmosphere and very dog friendly.

We used this company to provide all the beer and cider for our wedding of 72 guests, using their mini-tins. It was a great option, convenient for all, and we could showcase the best of local beer to suit all tastes. The customer service team were very friendly and the delivery was prompt. Would highly recommend if you are planning a large gathering, much nicer than cans or bottles and easy to set up!

A REAL brewery tap. Great selection, smell of wort being cooked and lovely staff. Not some macro-micro brewery on an industrial estate. Food too.

Great beer brewed locally on-site! Independence is a must try 🍻

Ordered for our wedding, originally we went in thinking keg, but talking to the friendly staff we went with cans, gave a very good price, and when the day came and the original beer we wanted was no longer being made (1 year later) they were quick to recommend a different, equally as delicious beer. The clear head is surprisingly great for a 0%, if you're thinking og a back yard wedding, these guys are flexible and helpful.

I recently attended a Brewed To Give event at Bristol Beer Factory and I was blown away by the service and atmosphere. The home-brewed drinks are incredible and definitely worth trying. On top of that the food was lovely and the staff were incredibly friendly (Abbie and Kai specifically) - offering suggestions for drinks and taster samples as the menu is vast with lots of homemade beers and IPA’s to try. They added lots to the experience by making it personal and fun.

Had a tour of the Brewery from Pat. Was great fun a really informative. He was so knowledgeable you can go right into the detail of the brewing process, all while enjoying the fruits of the Labour. Had to sample the beers in the taproom after which was super cool. Really lovely venue, great beer, lovely staff. Outside seating to catch the sun and watch the world go by.

Excellent location for Ashton Gate and superb choice of their beers. Enjoyed the seating outside on the front.

Cracking beer, cracking food and a great atmosphere

Great pub with big Selection of craft and pump beer. As visiting away fans this is just a short walk from the stadium. Good friendly atmosphere outside, with the largest selection of beer in the first bar and then a bigger room via a passage. Toilets, darts, big TV and bar in here.

Great beer and nice place to be. Only downside is it not being bigger. Hard to get a seat when it's busy

We visit here regularly, one of our favourite pubs in Bedminster. Good selection of Bristol Beer Factory's beers on cask and keg. The Tap Room has recently been expanded, so as well as the seating area at the front, near the bar, there is a larger, more open space at the rear/side, which will feature live/on screen music and other events. Gets very popular in the evenings. A good vibe, friendly staff.

Very good food nice bar good cider not far to get to the bears

A different environment from the normal. 5 hand pulled beers from their production line but the one I like the most - the Cream Stout was unfortunately on gas and not hand pulled. Well worth a visit.

It does what it says on the tin. It's the tap room for Bristol beer factory. So it's basically perfect

Great selection of independent beers

Great beers. Funky decor. Decent burgers

The toilet was too intimate. I don't not like sharing my privates with the whole crew. Also the hot tap is BOILOILING, and I hurty my skin. Anyway I've rambled on too long, how are you? I haven't seen Kathrine and the kids for years, I hope school is going well haha. Anyway, enough about me, have a great evening, Best luck, Asling Butternut Squash xoxo

Enjoyed a pint of Clear Head - pleasantly surprised, a) that I went low alcohol and b) it tasted great.

Great beer brewed on the site. Friendly, fun staff

Awesome pub. Nice pleasant helpful staff. Really worth a visit.

Really nice place with good beer

Lots of middle of the road pale ales, nothing terrible but nothing to give you a real flavour punch in the mouth.

Been a great spot for a pint for a while but now the new studio space does a delicious Sunday roast with the rugby on in the background. Very spacious, great food, great staff and 2 roast options for vegetarians. Would definitely go again.

Came here for the first Sunday of roasts, it did not disappoint. Good options for all food types and reasonable price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Also had the rugby on which was a bonus

Lovely atmosphere, great ale and welcoming staff. What more could you want.

nice beer and local atmosphere but the mens toilets might as well be in the bar they smell so awful.

I came here very accidentally. I was looking around the city and I saw this beer shop. The interior is like a beer factory storage. A lot of 📦 (maybe at that time goods arrived for them) but I really like it. They have a lot of different types of beers and they are selling the glass for 🍺 too. I got a lager for 4£ and also the glass is 4£. I really love the atmosphere here. I recommend it for visiting.

First visit here and wasn't disappointed, great beer and friendly bar staff. Already looking forward to returning in the near future.

Had a couple delicious IPAs here!

Decent small bar with cosy atmosphere

Bristol Beer Factory seems to be getting bigger and bigger and supplying to more and more pubs. The variety of beers is very good and cater for all tastes. The pub itself has a good atmosphere and has good service. If you like craft beer, it definitely pop in

This place is perfect for an after game and the new studio is ideal.

Great beers, great price and cosy tap room

Great beers, terrific prices (for Bristol), and welcoming staff. Excellent takeaway beer selection.

Nice and cosy place with great beers.

Plenty of choice beers , with a warm atmosphere

Ordered a gift which i did not realise was not quite what i wanted. Within an hour of ordering it, they had contacted me to discuss and couldn't have been more friendlier or more helpful - if someone you buy for likes real ale look no further than these guys. They go over and above (especially if you are a novice like me)

Decided to pop in for a pint wasn't that impressed with it very flat beer I've been around long enough to know a lot of customers like there beer that way whilst drinking my pint I saw a man come from the bar with an alternative pint so decided I would try another must say it was,superd

Brilliant place good beer friendly place

Great beer and atmosphere, though a bit on the small side. Don’t expect there to be much room on a weekend or when the WC is playing!

Purchased some lovely beer. Will be back for more soon.
