Amazing atmosphere, quick service, perfect vibes

Oh, the King Street Brewhouse in Bristol. Now, if King Street is the epicentre of pubs in this fine city, then the Brewhouse is its beating heart. Surrounded by a myriad of pub options, it's like the pub gods decided to converge on this single street. Step outside and you're greeted by hundreds of picnic tables teeming with merry drinkers, creating a vibrant tapestry that's truly a sight to behold. Historic Bristol at its absolute best, the King Street Brewhouse somehow manages to blend the modern with the traditional. Inside, the friendly staff serve up an excellent selection of beers that would satisfy even the most discerning of palates. What more could you possibly want? It's the perfect place to soak up the lively atmosphere of a city that knows how to enjoy itself.

After Graduation this week, I recently visited the King Street Brewery in Bristol. While the location is undeniably lovely, we left feeling that it didn't quite live up to its own hype. Situated near the river, the brewery boasts a charming setting that is perfect for a relaxing drink in an historic street. The ambiance is pleasant, and on a sunny day, it's an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. However, when it comes to the beer and overall experience, the King Street Brewery falls a bit short. The selection of beers is decent, but it lacks the standout options that would make it a go-to destination for craft beer enthusiasts. The flavors were okay, but nothing particularly memorable or distinctive. In terms of atmosphere, the place is nice enough, but it doesn't have the vibrant energy or unique character that some of the other establishments on the street offer. It feels more like a standard pub rather than a standout brewery. The service was adequate, but nothing exceptional. The staff were friendly enough, but there wasn't the same level of engagement or enthusiasm that can make a visit truly special. The pub across the street was truly unique, mind you. While the King Street Brewery is a pleasant place to stop by, it doesn't quite reach the heights of some of its neighboring establishments. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit for the location alone, but if you're looking for the best beer experience on King Street, you might want to explore a few other options. In summary, the King Street Brewery has a lot going for it with its picturesque location near the river, but it doesn't quite stand out among the many great options in the area. It's a good spot for a not so cheap drink, but not the best on the street.

I've always had a good time at KSBH, even as someone who doesn't love beer...Great atmosphere, loads of seating and nice aircon in the summer!

Friendly staff and good cold beer!

Brilliant food and beverage offer. Excellent service, the manager in particular was very helpful accommodating us as we were a large group. Will definitely return 👍🏼

Under cooked chicken and poor quality beer. Some food was good, but not a great experience overall

Sadly only takes card and not cash. However has a great selection of ales, especially IPAs but they did have a porter. Seating outside when it's nice. Gets busy as this part of Bristol invariably does. Thought the prices were reasonable given the location

Really nice experience at the bar, there was this one bartender who served me who was so gorgeous I don’t know his name but he was tall dark and handsome iykyk if u know him plz hmu💋💋

Lovely pup in a great vibrant location

It’s not a bad place to have a drink, but I did find it pretty bad that they charge the same price for a shandy as a normal pint. Come on…

Well, these English pubs are cool with their beer drinking culture, period ;-) the selection of beers is really large, even if someone is not a beer lover, they will definitely find a suitable drink. A typical English pub, which has its own charm and atmosphere - in summer, most of the places are outside and the whole street is teeming with life. Cool!

From the food to the staff, everything about this place is to die for. and when I do die please sprinkle my ashes at the king st brew house.

Great food - lovely beer garden. Service is lovely. Had the veggie spinach burger was fab! Thank you Dillon & Oscar.

Great own brewed hazy beers. Very tasty and refreshing.

The Aperol Spritz was not an Aperol Spritz

Visited the establishment today for the Eat The Bird event, attracted by positive online reviews and the availability of halal chicken. The ambiance of the venue was delightful, earning a rating of 10/10. Service was commendable, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. Pricing was reasonable. However, the eating experience left something to be desired. Despite our group's exploration of most of their sides and selection of the competition-winning Korean chicken burger as our main course, the food fell short of expectations. The burger, while flavorful, erred on the side of excessive saltiness, reminiscent of ramen noodles. Didn’t taste no kimchi in there. The hot wings options were akin to bottled Encona West Indian hot sauce, possessed an overly sharp and discordant flavor profile. Similarly, the sweet-ish barbecue wings, while marginally better, suffered from an excess of salt and lack of sweet. The loaded fries, while a satisfactory, failed to deliver a remarkable taste experience. Notably, the chicken tenders stood out as the highlight of the meal, offering a satisfying u-turn. In summary, while the establishment excelled in ambiance and service efficiency, the food offerings felt somewhat generic, resembling packet noodles and common bottled sauces. Our collective dining experience lacked the anticipated hype, and none among our group displayed the all well known culinary-orgasm-face (you know what I’m talking about) Perhaps worthy of a visit to check off one's food bucket list, but not an establishment likely to warrant a repeat visit or recommendation unfortunately.

Really good beers some of them their own brews. Good atmosphere, can be very busy on a Saturday night but staff are very good. Can't see how this scores only 4.1 when far inferior places have scored more.cask prices reasonable keg is over priced everywhere unfortunately... Not the highest here, but still quite high. Really good vibrant pub.

I contacted this business via multiple methods 2 months ago after the visit to get this resolved, they promised to contact me and instead ignored me. So I am regrettably posting full details here: We booked this for a Christmas meal. We arrived at 6pm and wondered round looking for a staff member. Once found walked us to our table which was full of people and spilt drinks. Waitied for everything to be cleared. Waited a further 30 mins for our "arrival drinks" to arrive. No further drinks orders taken. Staff checked several times that we actually wanted what we ordered suggesting we ordered too much. Returned 2 mins later and said they didn't even have one of the dishes that we pre-ordered. Food eventually came and mostly lukewarm/cold. One of our party sent a dish back twice then gave up - this was removed from our bill. Atmosphere with others in the pub was not nice, people being carried off so drunk they were unable to walk. One of our team went to the toilet and found guys snorting coke. Staff didn't have much time for us but a man (I am guessing the manager on the night) tried to help at the end but it was too late, I think he knocked 10% off our bill in the end. Night was a disaster, I don't like leaving bad reviews for companies but not sure 10% off was enough to be honest. So disappointing for the whole team, the atmosphere was horrible, yshould not be doing food at all. Fine if your want lads beers and enjoy walking in vomit.

Tried Eat the Bird who are running the kitchen here for the first time having been to their restaurant down in Exeter before. Really nice chicken with good portion sizes. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

It’s a lovely pub don’t get me wrong. I visited today with a friend of mine and they served Guinness in a generic glass. As an avid Guinness drinker I found this to be tasteless and rude. I requested a Guinness glass and they said they didn’t have any. Don’t sell Guinness if you don’t have the right glass. I would have preferred it in a tulip glass yet was told they didn’t have any of them ethier. Furthermore they didn’t even fill my glass up all the way. I was heart broken

Absolutely diabolical food. Friend ordered tacos and received basically tortilla chips with a sprinkle on meat. We’d previously to Chido Wey earlier in the day and the tacos were the same price and unbelievably good so go there if you don’t want to waste your money.

Never really had tacos before but these were delicious.

Has a good range of beers. Good bar for watching sports

Lovely time here, chicken burrito warmed my cockles. Don’t do the pub quiz, extremely stingy and questionable marking scheme. Docked 1 star for miserliness this Yuletide period.

Pub quiz wise: The way they do their music round is chaotic! And they deducted us half a point. How stingy! Lovely pub, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. Foods a rip off.

We came on a Saturday to watch the football and have some food but where extremely disappointed! The kitchen was meant to open at 12 but we was told the chef hadn’t been seen yet… after 15mins we could eventually order. I ordered a chicken burrito and tortilla chips and one of my mates got the pulled pork burrito but we had to wait 40 minutes. When the food arrived the tortilla chips where bland, I asked for salt but was told they don’t have any?? Silly me of course they don’t that’s why it’s bland. The burrito tasted nice but was room temperature at best and the side salsa’s where average but lack strong flavour. The Guac didn’t seem to be homemade as well which was a shame. However my friend who ordered the pulled pork burrito also came luke-warm and rather than having “pulled pork” had a pork skin filling! Extremely disappointed and a waste of money.

Great for watching sport, always got a bit of a vibe and great location. I’d probably say it’s the most expensive place on king st though, so if you want a cheaper drink; just keep walking down a bit! dog friendly which always is a good thing in my books

I enjoyed my time on the outside tables soaking in the sun. Freddie was the bar man who served us. He was an absolute delight and made our experience magical and memorable!! We will be returning soon!

Great place for a drink, good range of beers too!

Tables and even the menus were sticky, which is gross as hell. But the food is super pricey for very low quality and fairly miff Mexican food. Staff were decent but I really didn’t vibe them telling me to tip high after I requested a clean glass, mine had what looked like old lipstick on it. All around grim experience.

Popped in for a couple of beers during a late afternoon walk. The pub was empty apart from ourselves and we sat on stools near a wide open window, people watching on the street below. An enjoyably cool break in nice surroundings. NB: Be aware that payment is by card only.

Alright, pub quiz was okay but felt a bit rushed

Love sitting inside and outside throughout the year here. Outside on the benches in the sun is always so busy but the service remains good anyway! Pints are a normal price and they offer student discount.

Beer was okay, plenty of choice, only two ciders. However, the staff were quite unfriendly, there are plenty of other places to go on a sunny afternoon that could afford a smile.

Decent pub if you’re on King Street and fancy an ale - they have a good range. It’s around £5 for a pint which is typical of the area but lacks atmosphere if you’re sitting inside. Have also been here for an event in their private event room which is convenient but is downstairs with no windows, which was a shame.

Ok pub, cider choice lacking, dog friendly but the lad behind the bar who looks like ray mears needs to learn to cheer up

It was fine for the football, but the service was really poor

Fine pub, expensive and the pimms only had orange and lemon in!!! For 9.50 cmon!

This place has gone downhill so badly. Awful atmosphere with loads of drunk lads. The whole place smells of sick, toilets were absolutely filthy. Really best to avoid, especially considering there's so many great places to drink on the street

Decent pub, close to waterfront, quite busy, but friendly staff

Good beer but a cheese pizza with rocket tossed on top is NOT a Margherita pizza!

Awful place they were serving all other clients in a glass, they insisted serving us In a plastic cup, not impressed

We popped in on a quiet day and enjoyed sitting in the bar area overlooking the bustling high street ! It can get quite packed in here but the additional seating in the summer allows for more space ! i would defo recommend when visiting Bristol !

I've yet to sit inside the pub itself as every time I visit I get lucky with good weather for the endless outdoor seating on King Street! Overall great selection of beers and fun environment.

Great pub on King St, good variety of drinks

Very good place, great variety of beers and the prices are proper. Good place for students to go for a drink

Great choice of beers, but very quiet today at lunchtime

Excellent brew pub, their beers are really good. Large open plan venue, gets marked down for being card only and having graffiti in the toilets, sadly the Bristol socialists think the best way to slag off the government etc is to scrwall on a bog wall. Worse still is pubs that think politisized graffiti somehow enhance their pub on a cultural level. It doesn't it just makes your pub look tatty, you wouldn't accept it in the bar area, so why is this ok back of house?

pubs alright but the staff look unhappy, something wrong with management maybe?

Beer is decent, drinks prices not bad for King Street. Pizza was nice too, but 17 quid for the vegan option, given in a takeaway box, and when asked for chilli/olive oil the response was "If we have it, it'll be on the menu". Paid over 34 quid for 2 pizzas and now I should pay for oil? This is really taking the p***.

Great choice of beer but the pub quiz takes 4 hours. Would genuinely be a great pub quiz if THEY JUST GET ON WITH IT. We've all got work in the morning mate, get on it with it.

The bar staff self awareness is somewhat non-existent when attempting to serve customers in queues. They seem high/drunk honestly when attending the bar on weekend evenings.

If you are a sober & single man by himself then do not grace this establishment with your presence. I was put on trial by staff, behaving like self-appointed moral guardians, who took the side of a rude female customer against me and conspired to have me cancelled by refusing to serve me drinks. Three male members of staff surrounded me and took an intimidating stance because they felt the need to demonstrate just how hardnosed they could be towards a single male customer. None of these persons would have acted in such a way by themselves and is really just opportunistic & bullying behaviour by blokes trying to prove a non-existent manhood. Shoddy, shameful & coercive behaviour from staff and management who practice misandry on their premises. Aside from the bullying tactics of its members the cost of drinks is extortionate. I payed £6.20 for a pint of Estrella, the most expensive pint of beer I have purchased in over 40 years and is nothing short of daylight robbery. How anyone can afford, especially these days, to spend money on beverages at such prices is a conundrum to me. Avoid this place like monkey pox. I would give this place zero stars if I could.

We didn't get to try the food but the beer was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. Big with lots of seating.

Busy and lively. Nice bar staff. Great place for a few beers after work.

Every tourist guide shows this place such as a lighting point... so, we went to drink draft beers. I enjoy it more than the drinks, but the place is an active social place to be with a partner, friends, or family.

Fantastic Beers, great atmosphere even the men's toilet's are dead cool, definitely worth a try

Always busy and spilling out on to the street! Great beers, great vibe, love this place.

They charged me £6.20 for a pint of shandy. I wont ever be going back. Disgraceful.

Charged us £40 for 4 drinks because the bartender misheard the order

Average beer. Doesn’t accept cash.

Odd bar staff, hid tonic bottle, offended when asked what tonic was in G&T. Just an odd feeling that we were not really welcome. If you want to attract beer drinkers you need to take care of partners that don’t drink beer.

Selbgebraute Lager die sehr lecker schmecken habe ich hier probiert. Die Atmosphäre ist Tisch und die Lage ist super. Viele junge Leute schauen hier gerne auch Fußball. Mir hat es gefallen.

Only ordered beer, but service very good

Kings Street Poo House more like.

£4.75 for a pint of soda with ice. Last drink we ever buy in here.

Not too shabby, nice atmosphere. Bit loud as the night went on but leaving by 10 meant we beat the worst of it 👍🏻

It’s crazy how no matter how busy this pub was you never had to wait to get served. Loads of staff, all very friendly and knowledgable really nice evening drinking in there. Will definitely visit again next time I’m in Bristol.

The dirtiest ladies toilets I have seen for a long time and it's not even 8.30 pm on a Saturday night . What the hell will they be like at closing time. Not acceptable.

Great real ale experience. Lots brewed on site.

Amazing atmosphere for the Premier League final. Showed 3 games across the pub including a room in the basement. Great beer, lovely pizza ❤️🤗

Came for the quiz night and we had a blast. Also very nice beers and pizzas, and the staff was extremely nice

Nice pub with loads of outdoor seating in a nice location next to the river. Amazing first impression from the bar staff, very enthusiastic about craft beers and offer an exceptional choice of their own range of craft ale. Would recommend

Harry was great, exceptional customer service on all fronts. 10/10 would visit the king street brew house again (Harry) :)

Superb venue, and excellent manager who went above an beyond. Would have liked more assistance with the tech in advance of using the function room but that shouldn't deter from our overall 5 star experience.

Came for a tour - stayed for the beer Brew House tour was great fun and good value for money, credit to Dom who showed us around he was superb. Helped that the beer was good too!

Tried to come here to watch the six nations game. Hadn't had a chance to book a table, but even if we had they allow too many people in and people who had tables were getting really annoyed if you walked in front of the TV etc. Would have been better if they just let only a certain amount in. Then later came back for a drink where we were accosted by two strange guys who were out to get the guys in our group to have a fight. Luckily our group was normal and just walked away.

Great place. Had a really informative brewery tour by Dom, would recommend

Staff are nice, but food is average and overpriced. Avoid.

Great beer and ideal for the football

Awesome place, even for take away. Didn’t get a chance to get her name but the blond girl who served me, went through all the trouble of getting the right pizza for us, even though it was really awkward and then getting it to us to the pub next to their place, the pizza was amazing and perfect, thank you very much xx

Pleasant enough bar. Good selection of beers and friendly staff. Little expensive but that's to be expected in Bristol nowadays.

Absolutely throbbing! Brilliant.

Overwhelming smell of chunder (vomit) when you walk through the front doors. Probably fine when COVID was rampant, not now....

Nice venue with tasty pizza. Only marked it down because their non alcoholic beer selection is pretty boring.

Nice bar but far too expensive !!

Would come here for a beer but it’s also not really my crowd - it’s not the chillest atmosphere but staff are nice and it’s not expensive. I prefer sitting outdoors on the picnic tables.

Visited on a busy Sunday night and discovered it was quiz night. Also had football showing on screens around the venue. Good selection of beers. Pizza and nachos were ok. Friendly staff

Few of us had descended on Bristol for a night and we were advised which part of town to go. We stumbled across Brew House and popped inside. Instantly we liked the atmosphere and choice of beers so sat down for a couple of hours. We had a few drinks and a few pizzas too. The food is very nice and they have a good range of drinks. I loved the best bitter, very nice indeed. Friendly staff and nice, spacious place.

We saw that most of the tables outside were full and the people were having a great time. So, we went in and found seats. The staff were great and helpful. The range of beer was good and very enjoyable. There was a great atmosphere and we enjoyed our visit.

Beer was good. They didn't have half the pizza menu, therefore I ordered a margarita. It came out fairly quickly however it tasted like a frozen pizza you would buy at Aldi. I then asked at the bar for mayonnaise as it was so dry, and it turns out you have to pay for such condiments. I do not recommend this place for pizza.

Fantastic range of ales and brilliant atmosphere. Highly recommend the McKenna stout brewed in-house. Visiting with large group. A must!

Taz made a huge positive impact to our night - made us feel comfortable from the start, and couldn’t have a good night without him.

Taz was the best host, made me feel really comfortable and very welcoming. Can’t wait to come back here next weekend! All because of Taz xxx

Love coming here for their almost daily new brews! The staff are all pretty well informed on the different brews and shout out to the girl with dreads who always takes time to go through the new brews with me! One of my favourite places in Bristol

I really wish I could give it 4 stars because I love coming to the Brewhouse, but on this occasion the food service was so delayed it really wasn't great and meant one of our party members didn't have time to eat what they ordered. Great location and plenty of room to sit outside under cover and enjoy the hustle and bustle of Kings Street, we stopped here for some drinks and food before our haunted walking tour of Bristol and it was great for 5 of us. All our pizzas were tasty, arrived on time and so did our drinks, but one of us ordered the nachos and they took forever. I'm not sure what was going on or if they forgot but they took 40 minutes to arrive and then we had to leave, it really was a shame.
