The Beer Emporium in Bristol, City of

Only had one round of beers but if we had more time in Bristol we would have returned. Good range of beers with friendly, helpful staff. The downstairs is nice and airy, cosy with a range of seating to suit everyone. We did not have anything to eat as we had already met friends for lunch but pizzas coming from the kitchen look very tasty.

Nice place for drinks. We did not have any food but they have a nice selection of beers and ciders.

Excellent, wide range of Belgian, ales and lagers, big cavern downstairs, good pizza from Pepenero, lots of seating outside on King St

Great range of ales and pizzas, what's not to love

Cool place , staff , pizza and beer ! Do not miss this spot 👍

Loved the vibe here, great atmosphere.. Always too crowded & bit loud.

Beautiful renovated basement. Nice seating areas

The pizza was excellent. The staff were bubbly and venue was clean.

Great range of ales and new fangled hoppy stuff. Buzzing outside on the street but also nice downstairs in the cavern area

I went with a group of friends up from Burnham, on a Birthday Treat. Only ti find the building was the venue i had put on a fashionshow back in the 1980s. What a treat.🙂

Stopped in here for outdoor beers and was pleasantly surprised by the vaulted cellar inside. It was good weather, so there was no one inside, everyone outside enjoying Friday evening drinks.

Stopped in yesterday for a beer. Had plans to go elsewhere but had such a good time chatting with Lisa, that we cancelled our plans and stayed. Love their Belgian beer selection!

Cool little bar with a great selection of beers.

Cool bar - live jazz on a Saturday night which was ace

Great range of drinks and an amazing atmosphere. This is the hidden gem of king Street

Expensive, loud as hell because of the bunker style cieling and waited an hour and a half for my food (which was a small margarita pizza)

Went in at about 6:30pm on a Friday, when it wasn’t particularly busy. Spent £20 on a single pint of beer and a pizza for one person, and nothing else. London prices! Then waited nearly an hour for the pizza to come. Other people on my table who had ordered a pizza 1-2 minutes before me received their pizza 20 minutes before me so had to eat whilst I watched so theirs didn’t get cold. The serving staff were useless and vague when I went and asked where my food was. The place also absolutely stinks of damp and toilers. I know it’s underground but still, it’s not particularly pleasant, especially when it feels like the smell is coming from the toilets inside the venue rather than anything else.

Great place! Staff lived talking about the beers! NB: phone reception can be weak inside, so organise meetups beforehand!

I like a craft beer the wife not so much. So this was a little treat for me. She wasn’t enjoying the music or the atmosphere much but got chatting to the bar man Elijah who was a credit to the place. Welcoming, engaging and win the wife over. Great selection as well of some of Bristol’s best breweries beers!

Great place for a drink. Love the underground atmosphere. Only drawback was they only had one cider on tap 😞

Fantastic pizza, one of the best in Bristol

One of the best pizza in Bristol!!!

The Beer Emporium is always my recommendation to people who come for a drink in Bristol. The vibe of this place is really awesome and the alcohol is really nice!

Pleasant place with live music.

This was one of our favourite places in Bristol - stocks loads of Belgian beer (and advertises heavily that it does). But we were there at about 3pm on a Saturday, ordered a couple of bottles of Belgian beer and the response - the fridges are locked and my manager has gone away with the key so you'll have to wait. Well no, we'll take our business elsewhere. Utterly ridiculous that several hours into opening on a Saturday one of the key parts of the bar is still locked.

Had tables available on a Saturday afternoon, but still had a great atmosphere. Would have eaten here if we hadn't eaten already!

I really loved the chilled and relaxed vibe here, made it an enjoyable conversation and pint. Lots of choice in terms of drinks too so you can’t knock that. My inner student did cry with the prices but that’s something you just firm lol. Great establishment

Came in during a night out. Very expensive. Two spirits and mixers were £20. One shot of fireball whiskey was £4 and listed as a deal?! Jazz music played throughout our drink and was very loud; had to shout across the table. Had one drink and left. Will not be returning

Didn't even know this pub existed. Great pub with loads of beer and cider selection. Craft beers are very big in this place

For this place by accident, head into the basement for a decent selection of beers.

Great array of Cask and Belgium beers. Had a great time at The Beer emporium

Amazing bar, with such a fine selection of beers and ales. Wonderful!

Good affordable drinks, great food and a lovely atmosphere

One of the best bars in Bristol, a wide variety of beers available, very cosy atmosphere and great staff

The venue is lovely. So much potential but significantly let down by its beers. I had 3, 2 tasted off. I couldn't reccomend it, it's such a shame. The plate was chipped, food wasn't great and the glasses stunk.

Good selection of beers, however we were expecting more Belgian beer options

Really good selection of amazing beers, was well worth a visit.

Chilled atmosphere on the inside absolutely amazing location. Pint of Thistly Cross was top notch and the spicy salami pizza has to be up there with the best pizza’s I have ever had! If you are visiting Bristol. Go to this place!

Really good beer, staff in my opinion little up their own arse. Don't let that put you off great venue really nice beer

Cool bar with interesting selection of beers and a great subterranean venue

Unusual underground cellar location, very cosy. Getting very expensive though, over £6 for a session beer. As a result only stayed for one.

Friendly staff, great onsite brewed beers. New menu has some great winter warmers.

Nice place but if you want larger then only craft beer afaics

Good beer selection , included good alcohol free one.

Absolutely amazing choice of beers and ciders, great ambience (basement cellar bar), and outdoor seating area.

Probably the best range of beers going, certainly as good as anywhere I've seen. Nice cellar bar with some outside seating, though outdoor area gets very busy. Somewhere I always try to visit on a trip to Bristol.

Very atmospheric boozer. Lovely chilled out vibe. Whilst there is a bit of a cellar scent, damp and musty rather than anything particularly offensive, you tune it out after a minute or two. Bar staff are lovely and the range of beers is brilliant.

Pub ubicado en una zona con mucho ambiente. Tienen mucha variedad de cervezas y una parte baja que parece una cueva que está bastante bien. Acudí porque había música en directo y estuvo bien, buen ambiente

Very cool underground space with a well priced and tasty pizza. They were playing Elliot Smith when I was there, he did the soundtrack to Good Will Hunting. Great film, if you haven’t watched it then make sure you do.

Loved it. Great atmosphere and really good feel inside

Popped in for a pizza and pint. Lovely helpful place

Great atmosphere and different beers

Si te gusta la cerveza este es tu sitio. Amplia gama de cervezas artesanas acompañadas de una buena pizza. El lugar te invita a quedarte, en una especie de bunker o sótano.

Lovely underground bar. Very Belgian and a great selection ok beer including a great Belgian selection.

It is OK. I liked the underground mood the place offers. It is a great option of you are doing a PUB walk @ Kingstreet. The beer is all right, and all staff great. One of them you a picture of our group, and was really kind. Appreciated it. Cheers! 🍻

Good selection of beers per the name!

Great range of beers and cool space

We visited on a quiet Sunday afternoon, but the staff were really friendly and the drink choice was good, we had pizza and mine was really good. The place is underground in like I guess a celler. It feels like a cave! The woodwork on the stair area is stunning

This place used to have a great vibe and a quality feel , when food was more prominant . However nowadays the place is tired , empty and it smells of the toilets. We walked in and the smell was strong across the other end of the bar ( and its a long bar) we did not stay to order , it is seriously that bad and someone needs to spend some money and sort this out .

fantastic little place. Very cosy and staff always make conversation. Always my go to when going out for a couple

Great Jazz nights and delicious pizza!

Great range of beers and great location

Came in on Saturday night. Have been plenty of times before but found it disappointing this time. Not a single cask beer was on which I thought was really poor for a beer centred place. The prices also seem to be racing away in comparison to other bars with similar range of local/craft beer. A shame really. Think I'd go elsewhere next time.

Underground pub, Enjoyed my time there

Really cool, unusual venue.... Eastern Europe feel to it. Solid drinks line up and great service too !

Great place with a quality selection of beers. Definitely worth a visit

One of the most unique spots serving a wide range of beers; a personal favourite of many years

Great for beer and massive pizzas, the cellar environment is a brilliant escape from the elements.

Liked the atmosphere cosy and I enjoyed playing chess.very clean and the people are friendly.

Like the vibe here even the beer price is a bit expensive, but you can enjoy the local beer from Bristol brewery factory. The beer named “milk stout “and “ infinity “ are my favourite. 6.10£ a pine of stout. Next time I will definitely try their pizza cos it looks yummy.

Nice bar friendly chick with cool hair at the bar! I'll be back!

Lovely underground vaulted bar with a really nice atmosphere

Great vegan pizzas, lots of selection and great portion sizes.

Great beers, stunning surroundings. White pizza was amazing but the margarita pizza was far too sweet tasted like spaghetti hoops. Bar staff need to be more focused on waiting customers not putting glasses away.

Beers are great, nice looking venue but can get a bit smelly. Although maybe not as smelly as before?

A really querky place to visit. The salted caramel stout was amazing. Great vibe 😊

The built of this made me awe for this place. Drinks were bit expensive I felt but overall everything was good

Mostly common drink choices, prices on the higher side and smelt slightly funny when I visited last. There are definitely better places on king Street.

Lovely venue, nice drink selection. Very pretty cellar bar. Really tasty pizzas. Good night had by all.

Some of the best water in the South West!

Great selection of beers and pizza.

Probably my favourite pub / restaurant on kings street. Really lovely atmosphere, with the pub being in a scenic cave like underground structure, a nice long bar with plenty of drink options available, serving pizza with lots of vegan options and plenty of seating, this place is great for a quick pint with a friend, a date or a night out! Five stars!

Good space and reasonably priced. With great vegan pizza options

It sure has beer. Pizza's are decent too.

Nice busy atmosphere, good selection of beers

Lovely venue and good atmosphere. Wish they had some stronger beers on

Slightly grungy, but in a good way.

Decent pizza and atmosphere, not a huge range. If you want coffee.....we'll be prepared to wait as they didn't have the machine turned on (and it was a Saturday afternoon) so it took 25 minutes before I could have one. Staff appeared to not really have had any training on the machine, but if you want a pizza and an alcoholic or cold drink then it's a nice environment.

I really like how the ceiling is cylindrical. Great beer, would go again.

Came in last night for my first beer on king Street! Was served by a lovely bartender call Amy who talked us through the amazing beer selection and kept us entertained most of the night with amazing conversation. Will be returning as a regular!

Weren’t open when I arrived (despite what the opening hours on their door said) but luckily only had to wait 5 minutes. Wanted to buy a couple bottles of delirium red but I was told I had to wait an hour if I wanted to pay by card so I had to go to an ATM to get some cash. Then found out the beers cost about 50% more than it said online. £6.50 instead of £4.50. Credit where credit’s due though. They had the beers I wanted where its out of stock in a lot of other places.

Great atmosphere, great venue, Great Beers,the best sour lager ever

An underground gem in Bristol 🍻🍻🍻

Large range of larger and ciders, not for me but a nice place.

One of my favourite watering holes in Bristol. Atmospheric cellar bar with great beer options

today me and my friend had lemonade here and we both have stomach ache...

Have to come here every time we visit Bristol.

A must visit, former rum wine and other beverages cellars. Great beers on keg

I like this place, great selection of beers. And When I went there is one member of staff who was very.. let's say efficient but some may call it rude, the person just didn't waste time with politeness's, see if you spot who I mean, (if they still work there). I honestly found it refreshing, it's not a criticism.

Vast choice of beer, worst bit was deciding what to have
