Miles Arms in Bristol, City of

Very helpful young male staff worker.

The Wifi ain't brilliant when you can connect, But not all is lost!! If a certain person is in the Miles is good. SMURF is his name and he will entertain you all night. Massive bonus for this venue.

Glad to see the miles arms back to how it was great beers n food luvly jubbly

I went down to the Miles Arms because they had the Fury v Usyk fight. I met up with a few friends and people I didn't know who became friends. I had a draw for £5 at 11/1 so £60 I didn't win £60 but I did get something for the fight go the distance. Fury dominated the first 6 rounds but then Usyk started coming into his own own and wore Fury down. In fact he should have knocked Fury out in the 9th round when he was saved by the bell. Even though the referee gave him a standing count. Then Fury got clever and jabbed Usyk till the end of the bout. The 1st Judge had Fury the 2nd had Usyk and the 3rd also had Usyk so he is now the Champion of the World 🌍 The 1st boxer to hold all 5 belts since Lennox Lewis 25 years. So basically I had a Fantastic night in the Miles Arms. No doubt I will be returning in the very near future.

Good grief. Now under new private ownership? No longer a Black Rose chain pub? Manager not a clue about what the owner has in plan or what future holds? But will, at least in part, stay a pub??? Sports bar side of pub currently under refurbishment, so a good sign of things to come? Canned booze only ATM no pumps.

Under new ownership which as improved the place, prices are great and good selection of drinks. Hope they start doing food.

Went down for karaoke. Lovely place. Really nice staff

A nice pub that's well located and has a calm atmosphere 👍

Not great food as they don't serve any but good snacks. New management, they are selling soon. However, new management is amazing. Staff is way better, services, options, snacks. Martin has done an amazing job to turn it around. Still wish there was hot food, but it is what it is. If you're reading this review, this is for the now. I fear that if Martin leaves, things get a lot worse.

Well kept beers. Friendly staff..

Food no longer served at The Miles Arms - confirmed 12/7/2023.

Welcoming pub. More larger than real ale. Pleasant lady served the drinks and knew her when a wine was no longer suitable to drink as the bottle had been opened and standing for a long time. A fresh unopened bottle was served up. Good value prices. Unfortunately, food is no longer served here. Packed of crisps yes. Plenty of room, Sky Sports for the big occasion. Situated on The High Street. Parking is often limited and road systems a little complex due to the One Way System. TV was showing a Golden Oldie - Are you being served. A bot different:) Music in the background was varied standards across different timezones. Plenty of drink for your money but alas Real Ale not one of them.

Relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff

Went to the Miles arms today what a change the outside tidy bar staff friendly and didn't close early had a great night Will definitely be back the new landlord was so funny and interacted with everybody made some great recommendations for drinks and played our music requests can't wait for our next visit we'll done looks like we have a landlord who wants to make the pub a success

People smoking at/inside doorways, might as well just sit at the table and have a fag, just glad I wasn't eating

Outside looks shabby could do with a repaint looks shabby not very welcoming had one drink in here it tested like fish water and ordered food witch took over hour to arrive at my table no reason given as to why it took so long to arrive when it did turn up it was like warm won’t be comeing back hate again unless it improves dramatically

I pass by the miles arms every day on route to work and must say never have I seen such a filthy exterior of a pub really the plant boxes full of cigarette buts rubbish around the pub frankly the miles is disgusting place I won't patronise such a filthy exterior

Lots of seating inside and outside. The pub is clean and tidy. The staff are efficient at cleaning the tables and bar area. Toilets are clean. Pool table and slot machines in the bar area. Staff are friendly and welcoming, but they do change managers a lot, which is a shame as it used to be a nice local pub.

Great little pub, friendly staff great bunch of people defo be back.

Only popped in for a quick one. Nice and friendly place.

Nice little place. Nothing fancy and nice to site outside

People are really nice and have a laugh

One of these pubs that shuts at 10. Used to be a good pub.

Nice pint and a nice bit of entertainment.

Great pub great atmosphere, great staff, great live music, great Saturday night, can't help but feeling like it's the enterprise B of pubs at the moment, love you guys, will definitely revisit.

Brilliant staff, great food! What more could you want

I wouldn't say much on the food only ordered my first snack today,but I would love to say the staff are brilliant welcoming and warm I sit there every twice in a week when I have to do a waking night the mood is sobber the crowd is ok it's the first place I've been to since I arrived in the UK a few weeks ago THUMBS UP to the management and staff and the lady that introduced me to the place,met her on the streets on my first night call in Avonmouth and never seen her since

Get back open 7 days great stuff

New management very friendly and a new menu the food is very good loved it.

Nice but needs a total refurbishment urgently, staff are great 👍

Nice friendly and prompt staff see to you very quickly and with a friendly word and smile

Pleasant seating area out front.

Helpfull staff. Clean toilets. Handy for shops.

I ordered nachos and a steak ... The nachos were absolutely excellent and huge and I couldn't finish them. Then they brought me the steak. I ordered it medium rare and as you can see from the photograph it was perfectly cooked... They brought a steak knife but to be honest it was that tender that it wasn't really necessary. I highly recommend the food. Oh and the staff were very friendly. I will be back thank you very much

Friendly staff. Place is being refurbished. Prices are reasonable.

This place is what it is! Local! On our visit for lunch to be told they had no chef till later on in the day. It looks as though there has been an attempt at a refurb.

Went for a pint, won’t be back again. Should have guested not to order a draught product as the regulars were drinking bottles. Staff were friendly! Shame when we arrived they where having a smoke. Don’t expect much from a pub, but I do expect that it’s possible to look after the quality of a drink. Cider, taste and smelt like wet dogs, Guinness… orange head (with complimentary hair) and a taste of “we don’t sell much of this product” and Moretti, again damp and musky. Might be worth reducing the product range and sell better quality instead of a wide selection. Also if you want to sell Guinness might be worth looking at a Guinness surger system as you clearly don’t sell/clean this product often enough.

Awful pint of cider, beer and Guinness. Lines haven’t been cleaned for a very long time! Avoid at all costs Paid 11.50 for 3 drinks, which is fair, but we couldn’t drink them and had to leave them.

Nice place, good atmosphere and the staff friendly as well..

Привет этот паб стал моим первым питейным заведением в Англии! Я так понимаю англичане ходят в такие места для того чтобы пообщаться, очень много мужчин и женщин сидят и болтают за кружечкой пенного! Единственное триста работали они тогда часов до 24:00 и приходилось искать другие варианты. Были у вас в гостях 2019 году. Спасибо большое за гостеприимство.

Would not recommend. Staff discriminate which is disgusting. Went in and the barmaid asked me to wear a mask. I told her I was exempt (which I am medically). I also had two badges on displaying that I am face mask exempt and I had a hidden disabilities wristband on as well. The barmaid asked me to show an exemption card. I told her to give me two minutes whilst I go on the government website to load an exemption card. The barmaid responded after my reply to say “no”. It is not a legal requirement to show or provide an exemption card. Avoid if you have health conditions and disabilities. Absolutely disgraceful.

Thought we would try as under new management wish had not bothered . arrived at 11.45 told kitchen don't open till 12. Ordered Stake and cheese sandwich and cheese and onion sandwich. The steak was so tough you could not even pull it apart using hands let alone chew it, when we complained was told, yea I will have to speak to our supplier. The Cheese and Onion was tasteless and dry. And £6.95 plus £2.24 extra for chips the food is a rip off for a basic cheese toasty. No wonder the staff got another member of staff to go to the local bakery for there lunch. Absolutely disgusted. Avoid not worth the money.

My brother & I had a very good experience on our first visit to the Miles Arms, had a nice meal & food was to a very high standard. We went back again on Wednesday 16th September for another meal but we're very disappointed. Both had fish & chips, batter was soggy, chips undercooked & food looked like it had been chucked on the plate!! We won't be returning.

I haven't visited in months. I recall the last time was a nightmare! Things have changed for the better great food and drink and quality food. Well worth a visit if you haven't been there for a while. Please note the bar is closed whilst they refurb, so lounge only. That wont stop me visiting again soon 👍

Nice looking place n lovely atmosphere. Staff amazing.

Great pub staff are super and the new management are very friendly and professional xx

Lovely pub new management are very friendly and helpful barstaff are great xxx

Quite nice now it's been revamped

Just had a three day stay at the Miles Arms and it was a great experience. The new management are very friendly and attentive, polite and efficient bar staff with a good range of beers and lagers and no less than four ciders. Happy days. Looking forwards to my next visit.

The Miles Arms is under new management and if my recent stay is anything to go by I will stay there again anytime I'm in the area. Can't fault it great everything!!!

Decent boozer, couldn't tell you what the food is like though.

Been to this place a few times so review based on several experiences. New management are really good but service can be hit and miss. If the manager is on shift cant complain as he runs a tight ship and very customer focussed. When he has a night off things go to pot. They advertise as serving food until 8pm but twice I have seen customers come in and ask for food at 7pm only to be told they have stopped cooking. Latest incident when the chef was asked why food was not available he simply replied 'if you dont like it there is an f***ing takeaway down the road'. Its a shame as pubs are struggling to survive and an aptitude like that may well see him on the dole queue. As above cant fault the manager and majority of staff but they need a new chef.

We have dined at least 3 times here over the last few months, and have never been let down with the quality of meal served to us. My fish and chips were beautiful, thank you chef!

The Miles seems to have changed ownership, and, from what we experienced, it's for the better. We were a party of 4 out for a Saturday evening meal, and have already booked a return visit on Valentine weekend. All of us were happy with the meals we were served, and thought them great value for money. The only small quibble is that there was very little choice for the vegetarian in our group, perhaps one more choice could be added to the weekend menu? This wasn't me, I was more than happy with my meaty sausages and mash!

Good Food they're well impressed

Very cheep bear and good food as a good price

Stayed here years ago, on new years eve. The room we stayed in was a tall black figure next to my daughters bed. Scary but awesome at the same time. Would love to come stay again.

VERY welcoming good food and drinks for a reasonable price

Amazing food..great family place..

During the quiz the landlord attempted to kick me out for texting my babysitter and was very rude when my wife tried to explain what was happening. No regard for frequent customers.

5 star excellence. Food was plentiful and delicious. The ambiance was pleasant. We were well attended by staff

The new manager of this place has made a huge difference....Im a fussy eater and have been to miles arms a few times now over the last few months and every meal i have had has been very good and i can't fault it. The staff are always friendly and make me feel welcome.

Worst I’ve been too so far there not much to say I would not eat there again alway close early on the night

I've used the Miles Arms on and off for around 40 years. When it was refurbished back in the 1980's it gained a good reputation for food and it has been a nice place to eat on and off. Five years ago I went there...

Popped in for a bite to eat and a pint. The pub was so much cleaner than on previous visit in April, carpets had been hoovered tables were clean (not sticky) and the toilets were clean and smelt clean. The staff appeared happy and the...

I have been very pleasantly surprised. Milton Pubs and Taverns have listened to their customers. The place now looks like a properly run pub. This is thanks to the relief manager Chris. A lovely, friendly and professional manager. A spotlessly clean bar, warm welcome and...

Rude, rude, rude. This pub is very poorly managed. I don't expect to go out for a quiet drink and have a bar maid (who is on maternity leave). Stomp through the pub ranting and raving at a customers. The place is filthy, disgusting toilets...

Overcooked, dry & tasteless. My daughters "corn on the cob" was about an inch long and half an inch wide, ive never seen a corn on the cob so small. Chips hard in the middle and unpleasant. I wasn't expecting fine dining but this was...

Never never never order a Sunday lunch here! Absolutely shocking everything was frozen! The only thing that was any good was the use of the plug socket to charge my phone! 😡

Stayed one night there room was not up to standard bedding was dirty constant smell in the room move out to stay with family

Didn't expect much but the meal was huge, food was excellent, great value and came out in reasonable time

Visited here for a lunch,had a jacket potato with chilli The chilli looked like it had big lumps of dog food in it Will never ever attend again My friends food was average

Nothing is average here, its a mix of very good and very bad that leaves 'The Miles' with an average rating. To begin with, its cheap... very cheap. It is in fact so cheap I thought the food would be rubbish but it wasn't, it...

Visited the pub here and the food was a long wait, over 45 minutes, the lady on the bar was more interested in hooking up two customers than doing her job. We sat a table in the corner and the loudest most rowdiest women sat...

I stayed here for 2 nights end of October. The staff were really lovely and really helpful. The room was basic, but clean. The shower has some mound on the ceiling but nothing major. Sheets weren't changed each day I was there, and I did...

Great value breakfast which filled me up so much I skipped lunch! Cooked to perfection! Fast and friendly service, will definitely be going back again and again.

Warm welcome, efficient service and a tasty meal. Will definitely be returning and would recommend it to others.

Popped in for breakfast - good value, staff polite and service was prompt- main menu looks very appealing so would definitely return if I was in the area again.

Visited this place for a evening meal! What amazing service and food we received! Excellent value for money! Great tasting food cooked perfectly! This restaurant has really improved in recent months! Very impressed !

Very Good atmosphere in this pub. Bar staff friendly and welcoming when you come into pub. Food is good value for money. Food service is very quick and professionally done Joe and freya always go out there way to make you welcome.

Just spent a very happy couple of hours here. Footie in the background for those interested, but not so loud to annoy those that just want a quiet chat. Excellent steak for me. Hubby enjoyed a gammon-tactic huge plate of food. Excellent value for money....

Waitress was lovely polite & friendly. Starters hubbys come out fine Mine come out bbq sauce on the wings, mentioned to waitress I ordered ghost chill, she come back with just the ghost chill sauce (cold) to pour over my bbq chicken wings???!!! I thought...

Place has improved massively since the new manager took over about 6 months ago. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the food is lovely and great value for money ! All round good family friendly pub.

I visit the miles at least twice a week with family or friends and always find it to be welcoming and good value for food and drink. There is also a selection of toys for young children to occupy them. would recommend a visit if...

Great food, quick and friendly service, will defo be returning!! Visit on a regular basis and my opinion is always the same! Good prices and pub is in a great location, pool table and machines also good

2 breakfasts with unlimited team or coffee only £7.38! The Quality of the breakfast items is up there with the best, it is served piping hot and the staff are lovely. This is definitely worth making a trip out to Avonmouth village for as we...

This pub has improved immeasurably since the new landlord arrived. He's always mingling with customers and is very approachable. It's surprising how a new landlord can have such an positive affect on the place. The pub itself is the cheapest in the village for food...

Stayed in the hotel as let down by a local B&B was very happy with the room and evening meals staff were very polite and the pub looks impressive shame I couldn't stay for breakfast. Will be staying here again
