Portcullis in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A run-of-the-mill pub where I sheltered from a downpour, but with no real ale there, I wouldn't ever be a regular. It's fine for lagerheads, though.

Great time watching the football, pubs huge, family friendly, locals were welcoming. Kids enjoyed the experience.

Full of drugs and drunks. Attracts all the wrong sorts, and always trouble outside into the early hours.

Good old pub , friendly staff . Better than the sports bar over the road 😉

I go to Bristol once a month,and have popped in this pub often,last week i witnessed a vulnerable man sat on his own,minding his own business, have got to kinda get hello now and then,after a lil while some men came in and orderd drinks and was taking the mick out of him,i witnessed another customer stand up for him,bar staff did nothing to discourage it,iv tryed caling the pub no conection,or direct line hence this,have been told they dont bar anyone,look out for the vulnerable in this place if you visit,

Nice landlord and staff but full of bag heads

Did bare mkat would deffo recommend lots of booming music and drugs and children with lots of drugs, even the pub owner sorted a 40! #upthebackroomravers #mkat

Super cheap drinks, friendly staff and nice vibe. Good poole table.

Nice pub, Only there for a short visit. Hope to come back soon for a longer session.

Very odd tasting Stella in this pub. Moretti wasn't right either when I came here last either. No problem with any of the other pubs on the street

Lovely pub, warm welcome and happy atmosphere, friendly staff and quick efficient service, and dogs are allowed which is a great touch. Comfy seating and a big pool table. Really good place

Very good pub very nice people service was excellent I'll be back

Top pub, great staff, good offers and always something going on

It's a gd pub and a great atmosphere but on a sat night it has a dance floor and music. The one thing that let's it down is the coldness inside and makes you want to leave and not stay. Shame its not warm inside. And heaters in the beer garden.

Lively pub. Music and friendly bar staff.

Nice and friendly and also cheap

Real friendly staff & a good choice of real ales

Nice pub for a beer if your passing through staple hill but be prepared to wait service is terrible when busy.....

Lively on weekends, bands and disco's, price's good, good atmosphere.

Excellent choice drinks and friendly staff

Very good pub, always something going on here, very good experience most of the time, However you do get a lot of trouble come your way sometimes. But that's not the pubs fault to be fair. There's a brilliant bar lady that tries her very best and always makes sure your not waiting to long for a drink. She's very helpful and friendly. I did ask her name but I completely forgot it. However she is awesome! Thank you so much she's an absolute credit to this pub.

Played skittles, last time about 10 years ago?

Great place with friendly staff. Weekends have great entertainment. Would recommend

Enjoyed this local atmospheric pub with usual choices of drinks at fantastic low prices

Nice pub however my experience was ruined by a customer who was openly racist to me. This made me leave the pub.

Great pub, good selection of beers, lovely staff and dog friendly. Made my dog so welcome thank you

Skittle alley a bit rundown and freezing, but pub ok

New staff are very friendly and offer quick service, with good quality beer that doesn't break the bank. Highly recommend a visit.

What a surprise, it's a lovely modern local pub. Will definitely be back

A good friendly pub. Lacks a jukebox on the wall though.

Being a Staple Hill lad(stretching that a bit),old codger is more accurate,what is there not to like about the 'Cullis'.Under new management now,restyled but in keeping with its roots and a good atmosphere.l was there to hear Pete Holden perform,as always ,he did us proud.A gentleman and first rate performer and musician.Sorry,l digress....the pub,well l have always liked it,my dear white haired old Mother liked it and spoke often about it back in the day.More than worth a visit,a Staple Hill institution,l date to elevate it to that position.Great atmosphere,everything reasonably priced,cheerful and quick service and for those in the direst need,a lovely smoking area put back(not my bag)but it is nicely situated.Get up on the hill and give it a try.

Many families & friends join up to have great social nights together, but if anything made it worse it was when the 501, across the road, opened its doors for the first time. Having 2 pubs next door to eachother asks for bad scenes. The Cullis was there way before the 501, so kick them out.

Love it here. Friendly staff and customers. Lush atmosphere. Good time had alwaysb

Good clean pub, good cold pints, great beer garden and fantastic managers. It's a 10 from Billy.

Great selection of drinks at very reasonable prices when I sat reasonable I mean reasonable

Proper pub, very friendly and excellent value.

Good night good service enjoyable evening

Very good value on their price of ales

Quiet pub, along with friendly service.

Friendly staff. A good night out

Cheap beer loads of football fantastic

Good makeover, good prices now they should consider doing food.as most pubs do these days. I would be recommend thenew look cullis to families and friends..

So you spend 185k on a place, advertise it as much as possible, so obviously it will be busier. This means you need more than 1 member of staff. I lost the will to live, waiting to be served. Should’ve spent 175k and used the 10k to employ more staff. Appalling.

What can I say the good old British boozer very welcoming it has a beer garden, toilets are clean very enjoyable evening and it has a pool table 50p ago

Good pint staff friendly and good live music

The best thing about this pub is the beer. It's kinda dated. There are musical acts regularly. No parking at the pub but there is a local authority car park just to the rear.

Could be a nice pub with a little more cleanliness and refurbishment it does have to compete with a wetherspoons just down the road they are the only pub locally that have a pool table which helps you while away your evening. have live acts on some good and some bad

No bitter on tap last night was not good. But we did enjoy a quick detor into the portcullis. Great entertainment last night. We will come back. When is the doom bar returning?

Very good night and the singer was good

Under new management so time will tell

Good old style roast, nice beer well kept.

Great pub to visit at a weekend if you are looking for live entertainment. Nearly always has a singer or band on a Saturday night.

Lovely place, very welcoming and although I didn't try it the Monday menu looked amazing

We have made a lot of friends there good entertainment at weekends

Live music on Friday and Saturday

A local and lively pub, with live entertainment on a Friday night. Not the best range of ale, but passable.

Cheap and plentiful Sunday roast with friendly staff in a traditional pub.

Bar staff are brill, live music every Saturday, great place to be

Food was fine apart from not enough meat for the smaller meal which is only 70 pence cheaper. Table wasn't cleared from previous customers. I would say after all the moaning i will still go back however with a few tweeks it could a lot better.

I never liked this pub and now its even worse ! I just had a meal and I think it was a microwave meal , it was dreadfull , the lager is flat , this is a pub to avoid

Have visited this pub on many occasions as I'm a local and the location is great. Always amazed how they have any customers. There attitude is that you are an inconvenience. Customer service is shocking, hospitality non existent. Food average. I've given them plenty of chances but will not be visiting this pub again as they really don't deserve my custom.

Lively pub with a bit of character to it. The live music there is always decent and its good value. Best pub in staple hill

Great fun friendly atmosphere, good bands and has a pool table

Money madness cheap food & beer.

Monday omelettes are quality, nice and home made, Mum's portions 🐣🐖🍄🧀

Cheap on Monday for simple fare and English Roast...

Great beer and food. decent atmosphere and pool too.

Lacklustre, unkempt, dreary, sullen staff and the beer could be better kept. The food is ok though.

Proper old fashioned pub. The weekly live music is very often excellent and the people who drink in there are friendly. It doesn't get too busy, apart from the live music nights when it can become crowded but you can expect that. They also have a number of promotions that offer good deals on food and drink on select days.

I get my husbands rolls here every week they are fantastic. Cheap and very fresh and full. I haven't eaten in here but when I have been in getting the rolls the good looks fab. The landland lady is warm and friendly. There seems to be always some entertainment going on. The pub could however do with a freshen up (paint and furniture) but still a nice place to eat and drink.

Where do i start there all ways fights not suitable for family's with kids the pub is dirty and the toilets worst i have ever bin it poo up walls wee every were and really smelly and food/drink are expensive food from iceland £1 meals and they want £5/6 for it the pub needs on big refurbishment and new management.... plenty of better pubs on the high street.

Good atmosphere.... Great service.... and a nice COLD! beer... what more could an Aussie ask for :-)

if you like beer and ale with no pretensions then this if for you. Fabulous beer in an off the track pub.

still a proper pub selling all types of real ales, and attracts local and young people, and a great place for tourists to visit.

This place has been doing good trade since I first went there in 1991. It's a pub and a good one. Right in the busy heart of Staple Hill

The staff lacks customer service skills. And this seems to be trending in Staple Hill as we couldn't find a friendly smiling face anywhere. Waited at the bar 10 min so the lady at the bar could finish telling her friend a story

Wow! Any meal on their menu for £2.50 lunchtime or evenings any Monday - so long as you buy a drink, this can be a pot of tea at £1 or a glass of lemonade as well as your more expensive tipple. Lagers and beers and ciders are sold at £2.50 per pint on Mondays. I have been going twice a month eating from their menu having things such as Grilled gammon and eggs, chips and salad, Liver and onions with choice of pots and freshly cooked veg. Huge homemade faggots choice of pots etc etc. Lasange, cottage pies, roast pork, turkey etc. Ham egg and chips, salads, you name it, it's probably there all for £2.50 on a Monday. Most of these dishes are normally priced around the £5-6 mark so what good value. Not the most salubrious of settings but well cooked large portions of food.

Sunday lunch : big home cooked portions !! Mondays : any meal only £2,50 !!!!!
