Palmer Street Bottle in Mendip

lovely beers, good people and great atmosphere

Beautiful beers, friendly helpful staff on the bar and a nice place for a couple.

Nice little spot, fine ales and lovely friendly staff. I had never been there before but felt right at home!

Great alternative to a pub. Good selection of beers. Somewhere to meet up, chat and maybe play a board game!

Amazing place, amazing simple food! Loves it!

Superb selection, acceptable pricing, very good service, plenty of seating out back. Good atmosphere.

Unfortunately not a child friendly location

Friendly helpful service with a nice atmosphere for a game! And a few beers! Nice help also in the look for GF options!

One of my favourite places to go. The beer selection is forever altering which I’m all for. Also their cheese toasties are formidable and delicious! Keep going, you’re great!

Great drinks and friendly staff

High hopes dashed. Front part of the restaurant felt cosy and welcoming but there was no space. Went, instead, up a short step to the middle room , sat outside what turned out to be the toilets. These were used a lot by the other guests and afforded a direct view to inside one of the toilets , not ideal. This table should not be placed there for both the diner and user of toilet,sake. Food: The snack chosen was a charcuterie board, consisting of 6 or 7 tiny pieces of toasted bread and chorizo. Or salami. Hard to tell it was so thin. Very thin chorizo or salami type meat. Very small chorizo or salami There was a small gherkin…whoa, Let’s party! This cost about £8.55. My friend had a cheeseboard which was about £12.50 which was a high price for a cheeseboard but with hopes for quality and quantity for that high price, we said we,d share it if there was too much….. oh what fools… we were! It was early evening so no pressures on the kitchen we thought and so had expected something great. Instead…the cheeses were so minimal, the slices were as thin as the crackers it came with, no joking. THIN as a 2 pence piece, which coincidentally is about what it was worth. The Wedge was about 2 Millimetres thick. (Or thin depending on if you are human or an ant) by 1cm by about 5 cm. It was totally pathetic. Actually it was embarrassing , as if put there as a joke, to get a reaction. There were 3 such tiny limp, pieces of cheese on this “platter”. About a third as much cheese as you get in a half a supermarket meal deal sandwich! Plus a bout 6 plain water thin water crackers, no biscuit thickness, no texture, no relish, no relish no blooming relish…….just plain boring crackers. Frankly this is the worst effort at providing interest, value or taste that I have ever come across. The total price for these two plus a couple of soft drinks was just shy of 30 pounds. For £30.00 in times of sharpened budgets as we are living with, value should be foremost in the goal of the restaurant, cafe or other service providers. That is a very bad value, very bad care, very weak offering. If charging these prices at lest have the grace to forewarn the customer that the portions are minuscule and especially that the cheese is wafer thin. so they can make informed choices. Shall not be back any time soon. If this was my establishment I,d be embarrassed, mortified, and wondering if I was in the right line of business. Come on, this was over £29 ; yes a few limp drabs of schemes and timely slices of cured meat for…..29 pounds. Get real. Await your apology and resolution.

Had a toastie and a beer. Toastie was great as was the beer. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Well worth visit really friendly staff

We've been regulars at The Palmer Street Bottle since it opened and it's always a great place to visit on a night out. The bar staff are knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic, and the selection of beers on offer is unparalleled.

Only popped in for coffee.. pleasant place

Fabulous place, fantastic choices of beers, whisky or rum. Food 👍. Brilliant place to watch 🏉 🥳🥳

Always friendly staff and something good to drink. We've been numerous times and will continue to do so!

Lovely place - friendly, helpful staff with a great selection of beers.

Sharing board with a couple of pints of craft beer

We stopped in for a very quick drink while waiting for some flowers across the road in Bramble and Wild. The selection is short but judiciously selected. We enjoyed an orange Italian wine and a pink lemonade. It is a place to try something different from the usual high street offerings. The service is casual and friendly. The seating inside is limited but there are benches outside when such weather permits. Would definitely come back and definitely recommended.

Nice little bar with a lovely atmosphere

Great variety of beers, well priced, will return to next time we're in Frome. Good options for beer, wine, spirits and multiple non-alcoholic options

Really like this place. Only go when it's quiet but good craft beers on draught and a decent choice of cans too. Nothing out of the ordinary price wise but not cheap. Toilets not really suitable when busy and can turn into a bit of a creche at times hence only go when it's quiet.

Small venue, nice vibe and staff

Knowledgeable and friendly staff help elevate this fine bar, great choice of high quality drinks too. Highly recommended. A gem.

Best place in Frome for craft beer.

The best little pub in Frome. Fabulous staff who are well knowledged in the offerings. Great selection of beers, taps change often so do ask for recommendations based on your taste buds. Spirits - some locally distilled. Retribution Gin 5⭐️'s For wine, the organic range lovely. Aldwick wines available too. Highly recommend Aldwick Jubilate, a beautiful English fizz. Food on offer... oosh, so good. Check out the menu. Palmer Street Bottle (PSB) is a must go-to. We frequent often!

I’ve been a regular for a few years, but I am now sick of being ripped off and not listened to. The place is freezing in winter and roasting in summer. They also sell extremely smelly cheese from the fridge that is open regularly by customers who want a beer. I have seen numerous customers ask why the cheese couldn’t be moved to a different fridge and the excuses from staff range from ridiculous to condescending. The drink prices are exceptionally high, and none of this is put back into the venue, seats are uncomfortable and covered with animal skins which aren’t washed regularly and dogs sit on them too. If you want an unhygienic, overpriced pint, then look no further.

Loved this place. Excellent, friendly service. This place serves a smashing range of craft beers. We had a glass of orange wine (original and unique) and a house rose wine. Lovely and cold! Admired the menu, loads of light lunch ideas that we'd love to try. Go for it!

Lovely staff, great light bites, roomy and with good beer and a good non alcoholic drink selection too. We will be back. Thank you

Only a flying visit for us. A good atmosphere and a large choice of different drinks.

Amazing staff and fantastic selection of drinks! Will be back!

A friendly and informal vibe, with a super selection of beers (a massive selection if you include cans), wines by the glass, and light bites. I loved the tasting flight of four 1/3 pint servings.

Found this bar after Brewed Boy was closed one evening. Nice beers with lots of selection and other quirky stuff. A bit hipster, but still worth going to for the well kept beers.

What a gorgeous bar. Perhaps the perfect watering hole. I stop by for a pilsner whenever I’m in Frome. It’s always delicious. Thank you to all the staff.

Just brilliant! Always interesting tap beers - backed up with a well stocked fridge and knowledgeable and friendly staff - no brainer really!

Good selection of quirky beers (love the mango one!) and a decent amount of space. Also, cute merch!

Standard Frome hipster place. Nice enough beer but insane prices. London prices in an average Somerset town. I don't think I could afford to go again

From start to finish what a beautiful place to visit, so glad we found this spot! The most friendliest and warmest welcome from Nathan as soon as we walked in. He accommodated to what we asked for and offered a cheese and meat board with a variety of wines which were just absolutely fabulous. Honestly you are missing a trick if you don’t visit this spot when visiting Frome! Cannot wait to see Nathan and the team here at Palmer street bottle again! Thank you so much for such a wonderful afternoon.

Cant recommend this micropub highly enough. Quality ales with great staff and a friendly artisan environment. 👌

Super helpful staff. A nice little curated collection of beer and wines. Came in to collect something interesting for a night in. The recommended selection did not disappoint. Update: the shop now has extended seating out the back. Offers a taster flight for their tap beers. The craft beer options still great. They also offer a few food options including cheeses. The only disappointment is that I don't live closer.

We came for a little lunch. Very nice and friendly staff. Good food and lovely beers. I highly recommend this place. We will probably come back during our stay at Frome

What an amazing discovery in the heart of Frome. 6 (I think) craft keg lines and a great selection of cans and bottles in the fridges. Would love it to have cask but they can't have it all! Dog friendly which to me is key, cozy seating at the front and a nice larger area at the back. The only downside is they are in Frome so I can't walk to it! :) Will definitely be back everytime I pop into Frome, which I may actually do more often from now on!

Nice place, good beer and gorge lighting

Great selection of beers, and warm friendly staff.

What an excellent craft beer (and other things) outlet. Two enthusiastic, convivial, knowledgeable and sociable hosts, serves great beer (on tap - keg but good), as well as cider wines and spirits, and stuff in cans/bottles. I had several glasses of the Kernel Export Stout, and a quick taste of the newly tapped "in house" beer that Nathan had a hand in making (literally). Excellent. They also do a selection of local cheeses to buy, a cheese board and beer/wine sampler to have in the bar, toasties, sausage rolls, and much more. If you're visiting Frome this is the place to be!! Nathan, Henry: keep it up: whatever you're doing works, so don't change it. (Shame about the bloke down the road - you know who I mean!). Will definitely be back to sample more goodies when I find an excuse to return to Frome - even if I have to invent one!

Nice atmosphere and good beer selection

Great beer, great staff, great Gatsby (The Great Gatsby wasn't actually present).

Big up the beers and the cheese

Nice friendly owner but doesn't take cash - paid by card for the drinks we had as already ordered, but won't go anywhere that doesn't take cash on principle. Shame

Loved the beer that I was suggested, great atmosphere, very relaxed and cozy surrounding

Great and chilled place. Try all the beers!!

Frome has become a better place! Always a warm welcome, great selection of beers, cider and wine (cocktails pretty good too!). Cheese is amazing. What more could you ask for!

Very welcoming staff who talked us through the beers they had and let us try a little bit to see if we liked it. We went on a Wednesday early evening so were able to find a seat without having to book. We were able to maintain social distancing throughout.

Really could not have been better. Recommend wholeheartedly. Great beer lovely owner and a good atmosphere.

Wonderful choice of beers and wine served by incredibly personable and welcoming staff. We have always enjoyed learning about the beer selection before making our choices. They usually have four beers on tap along with a wide selection of cans and bottles which you can drink in or take away (as well as growler refills!). Lovely location on a quiet street. Recommended to book in advance via their website during social distancing as it’s very small!

Great to see Simon's still open. A fantastic lil bar with a great vibe and great beers and wine!

A lovely place to relax with a beer (always great options) and catch up with a friend or two. Lovely organic wine also. Great vibe and lovely staff

This is a great little place! They have a fantastic selection of beers. They also do simple but good food. Really friendly atmosphere. Equally good for a quick weekday lunch or a Saturday night our. Can’t fault it really. Very glad to have this little gem in Frome ⭐️

A lovely place with some top notch fare, particularly the Welsh Rarebit which was exquisite. Very welcoming, knowledgeable and keen host. It was the middle of the day so we stuck to (lovely) coffee but the craft and draught beers on offer were hugely tempting.

We stopped in for lunch here on both days of our stay near Frome. The beers (incredible range served with true expertise) and wines were excellent and made a great pairing for cheeses served in a variety of ways, with thoughtful accompaniments such as some fabulous meaty and veggie sausage rolls. It was so nice to be served by someone who both fully understands and really loves the fine products that they are serving (and the prices were more than fair). What a great find!

Really good coffee and best tap lager I’ve had in years. Welsh rarebit and slaw much enjoyed and good value. Would have been better if the room was warm and cosy on such a cold and damp day otherwise much enjoyed the experience.

Great food and friendly service

We called into Palmer Street Bottle because we wanted a drink and some food but not a full meal. It’s a small place but we found a seat and ordered at the bar. We had a very nice draft IPA, ginger beer, cheese toastie and rarebit. The food was very nice, just the right amount for a snack and a reasonable price. Would have stayed longer if we had the time to try more beers (which came in draft, cans and bottles)!

Great choice of all drinks, excellent coffee and friendly staff.

Brilliant beers and food great atmosphere

Outstanding cocktails made by an artisan.

This place is an absolute belter. My wife stops ok occasionally after work to pick up some take-out from the ever changing selection of beers available and she’s partial to the cheese too. Today we stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. The guy who served us was not only friendly but also really enthusiastic about the beers and the food helpfully pointing out what we may like and offering suggestions based on our replies. If you’re looking for a cosy venue for a drink and a bite to eat check this place out. It’s a great Frome venue that welcomes all.

Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff with a cosy atmos! +++

Great place and atmosphere. Would be good to have more options and to keep the beers refrigerated so they are kept at their best.

Palmer Street Bottle is a trip making fine in Frome. From the moment you walk in, staff make you ultra welcome and ensure that you have the best experience possible. The beers were top notch, the cheese delicious and the service second to none. A must visit when in Frome and worth the detour from elsewhere. Thanks for helping to make out weekend in Somerset.

Un espacio pequeño conteniendo muchas y agradables oportunidades para pasar un buen rato. El encargado de la barra posee un amplio conocimiento de la industria de la cerveza que comparte generosamente con los clientes. También hay buenos gins y al igual que con la cerveza, cuentas con la opinión experta del barman. Muy recomendable!

Standard craft hipster joint, odd selection of beer, inadequate information from barman about the foul taste of the one we bought, luckily only a half at £3. Avoid if you like normal beer and are clean shaven.

Great little bar with small shop selling craft beers, a pity it was Sunday morning otherwise I'd have tried a couple of there tapped beers. A friendly guy was serving.

what a great little find this is, great selection of interesting beers (on tap and bottle) with 'grown up' snacks to match. it can be a bit of a squeeze but a great little place that does Frome proud.

Been here a couple of times now and will no doubt be back again. Quirky little bar with a great choice of beers and ciders plus an interesting range of (mainly cheese-based) snacks. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, what’s not to like?

Nice snack and friendly atmosphere

Tend to pop in here at least once a week for a schooner of beer after a long dog walk. Always a highlight of my Saturday!

Great little bar whether you want a really nice coffee, a snack or a really good craft ale. Staff are just wonderful and know their stuff. Good selection of coffee on offer and all well presented. Wide choice of craft ales available with the best of these being those by the local Bristol based Left Handed Giant.Well worth a slight detour off the main st to get to this little bar.

I’m writing g my review again as I thought I already had but can’t see it here!!

Ahh, to be able to get a pint of porter! My husband and I are both huge fans of stouts and porters - something which most pubs don't offer, aside from the usual pint of Guinness.

Lovely and cosy little spot for evening drinks and bar snacks. House red is particularly amazing, and available by the carafe. The chap running it was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and everything very reasonably priced. Two thumbs up!

great selection of constantly changing craft beers pair with a Welsh rarebit or an epic burrito at lunch time. Top job guys

Small, friendly bar with a great selection of beers and a short menu of mainly cheese-based small plates. Rarebit with jalapeño slaw was delicious, coffee excellent and I’m sure the beers would’ve been good too if I wasn’t driving.

Dropped by here hoping to grab a bite of lunch for my daughter and a pint into the bargain. The young bloke behind the counter couldn't have been less interested in being helpful. I won't go into the detail, but we ended up passing on the food and just having a couple of pints and a soft drink. As I was paying I complimented the chap behind the bar on the quality of their ales (which is their main selling point). He looked at me blankly and stated "Ok. But I have no idea if they're good or not. I don't like beer." Words fail me. Who on god's earth thought that this clown would be an asset to that business. A good location, with interesting food and drink, let down by appalling customer service. This place does not deserve to thrive.

Friendly staff who are very knowledgeable about the craft beer, nice light bites newbie that has been well thought through.

No alternative milks and £4 for a double espresso, won't be back. No idea about the beer though.

Excellent beer and friendly people. Will go back again.

It's a very nice bar with lots of different choice Beers

Went on Saturday late lunch, very good wraps and selection of drinks

Lovely little place, with great house wines and a friendly atmosphere. Will be coming back again

Good range of craft beers, a thoughtful selection of wine and interesting snacking options. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Great seats in the window and a nice spot to unwind after strolling around St. Catherine's. Recommended.

Hired to man the bar for our Sixth form prom & it was lovely - the drinks were very popular and the staff were so friendly, joking around with us - definitely a great attribute to the experience!!

welcome to fine beer and cheese in this craft beer pub. Very informal and friendly surroundings and a great choice of draft, bottled and canned beers. The cheeses they sell are award winning from the Bath Cheese company.

Dropped in here whilst on holiday and new to the town since last here. We loved the evident enthusiasm of the owner for craft beer, whilst my partner said the wine was good too. Great house beer brewed in Bristol by the New Bristol Brewery.

Lovely little bar that's quiet and cosy great for a few feinds on a night out.

Like other reviewers we came across this bar at the Frome Independent Market day by chance. Small friendly with a relaxed atmosphere. Nice informal bar with limited number of seats.

Lovely little bar with food? real beers and stout, good wines, local cheese sharing platter was delicious and plenty for two to share friendly knowledgeable staff
