The Birkett Tap Bristol in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Gio was amazing and so welcoming.

The Birkett Tap is a really nice restaurant/pub to go to for some nice food and good vibes! It was quiet when we visited but there was still live music and the staff were really friendly.

Door staff were professionals and friendly

Nice atmosphere but some miserable bar staff on this occasion unfortunately.

Horrendous atmosphere, incompetent and rude staff. Can’t even display basic manners when serving customers. Ordered food via the app to which we waited 40 minutes, before asking if there was a wait, to which we received a response of “Oh you ordered on the app? We haven’t checked if any orders have come through”. Food delivered just shy of an hour wait, pizza was under cooked and dough balls were solid. Plates lobbed on the table with no apology from staff for the wait. No offer of condiments and they couldn’t even be bothered to clear our table from empty glasses when food arrived. The bar was dead with only 3 tables occupied, staff were more interested in having a social between themselves at the end of the bar opposed to actually doing their job. Avoid this place like the plague, other reviews mention similar / identical experiences from other customers. 0 stars would be more fitting than 1.

Ali and Anelka were very nice. They looked out for us all night. Top class service. Befriend the security and they are top class. 100 love the place

Great prices and delicious food. Come on a Wednesday to scoff down on some 40p wings. Come earlier though as we missed on the hot honey wings, tragic. The kitchen closes at 8. Karaoke was fantastic really good vibes and a really safe environment. Bethan is a fantastic barmaid, make sure she gets a raise.

Great place. Fell into it cos it was enroute to a restaurant, came back because of the atmosphere. Karaoke on a Tuesday! We had an amazing time. Big shout out to the staff, Jody and Beth.

Jodie was an incredible hostess she was very polite and incentivised me to visit again

Love love love the karaoke 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Jolene was amazing, very nice and helpful

Really enjoyed this pub. Food is lovely. Friendly atmosphere.

Reasonable venue with a good selection of beers. Food menu looked good; however it is shame the staff are unable to communicate the most basic of information. Turned up around 7:40pm, asked if the kitchen was open to be told it was. Came back to order food at 8:30pm, to be told the kitchen was closed at 8pm. I simply can't understand how the staff are not trained well enough to relay very simple, but important information. What a shame.

Who puts karaoke on at the same time as the Champions League. Edit: just had to endure the sourest blonde of my life, clean your lines please.

Visited the Birkett Tap this evening and had an amazing time. The manager Edo could not do enough for us and was so attentive. We had an issue with our food order and he fixed it without any issues whatsoever. He made our visit excellent.

Asked for 2 drinks at 9pm and was told abruptly they were shutting very shortly Either they want business or not Not the way to encourage customers to return

Cheap pub for students, I would go somewhere else personally of you could afford it

Tables not cleared and sticky. Noisy.

This is a lively and friendly atmosphere. The staff are great and the food was pretty good.

We had booked in advance to watch the rugby matches on Paddy's weekend and have food and drinks. Since half of our party were not drinking alcohol we were delighted to see so many non alcoholic alternatives on the drinks menu..turns out they had zero stock of any of these advertised drinks. We were told they do a drinks order on a Monday so they have run out. The bar staff were embarrassed about the lack of stock and most fridges were empty. The only semi positive about this place was the food was pretty good for sharing nibbles (although the pizza was almost certainly frozen). They had also run out of plates even though barely any tables were getting food so we were given napkins instead. Overall, it was so disappointing and we will never return. Management needs to seriously take a look at how this place is run.

Drinks yes. Food no. Absolutely horrible food. Not worth the money at all. Very bad quality food would not recommend. We were very disappointed

Awful quality food. I would not recommend. We ordered a burger each and it was terrible quality. Not a food pub at all. Had no baked beans for our son on a Saturday lunch time. Very strange.

All the team are great! It’s my second visit here and the Guinness hits the spot!!

Jess made our night out one to remember, she went above and beyond giving us the best recommendations on what to drink whilst providing top service! Thank you Jess, we will be sure to return.

Beautiful venue with the most amazing staff. Was served by Abbie and Halle and the service couldn’t have been better. They went above and beyond to accommodate me and my friends. Will definitely come again :)

Came here for the England v Scotland Rugby game and was served by Jess. Had a problem with our order at the start but she sorted it quickly and still managed to make our experience during the game a good one.

Burrito was bland and missing ingredients likewise avocado salad... didn't realise until we were driving back home and discussing our day out !!!

Jess was the rudest and most surly barmaid I've encountered in nearly 40 years of going to pubs. Dirty tables, overpriced drinks and sticky carpets.

Really not good today to be honest. Hopefully it’s a one off. Bar staff not looking to serve, no communication to customers. Friday night, 6 nations - clearly understaffed, and the staff that were there seemed disinterested. Waited a while at the bar to be told they’re not serving food, sat back down, saw food being delivered consistently over the next 30 mins, so ordered on the app and food turned up. Why the lie at the bar? Seems counter productive. Overall disappointing - likely will just go over the road next time.

Pizza box's arent perfectly square but other than that. Lovely place and people all round.

Only went on a quiet night but it was good. Bartenders were lovely and when I had an issue with my pint of Hazy Jane, they quickly exchanged it to a Lunar Haze after a cracking reccomendation. Shame about my mates putting some chips that were left on the table in my pint but it is what it is 🤷‍♂️😂

Loved it here, great beer, so many tvs always showing live sport, class staff

Couldn't get served so had to leave. Extremely busy on Saturday before Christmas and only 2 people serving

Me and my partner visited the Birkett tap on a busy winter Saturday, we enjoyed the 2-4-1 cocktails, she enjoyed a couple of tutti frutti and I had the passionfruit power which was delicious.

AMAZING CHEEKY PINT, i enjoyed you guys so badly. I will do you again. YOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHEEKY PINT I LOVE YOU

Love this place have been coming here for years. Great atmosphere and great to watch the sports. Only downside was half of the menu was unavailable!

Love this bar, the food is ok and a brilliant selection of drinks

Watched the rugby and boxing, great atmosphere and affordable drinks :)

Great place, Heather and Halle were great. Good sports pub with good service.

I had amazing service from Jodie she was always attentive and kind whenever I needed assistance.

Great pub with affordable drinks. Jodie is so lovely!

Jodie is kind and welcoming to any patron walking through the doors of the birkett

Dan is the best server I've had in ages! Some short blonde definitely needs to be taught how poor a drink, think her name was Heather? I'm joking she was amazing

Liza served my drink to a professional standard I enjoyed my time here Very good atmosphere I like it here

Quick and friendly service, with a check up from staff member Dan which made the night that much better. Will be returning!

Heather and Daniel were so fantastic at serving me and the drinks were amazing. Thanks guys

really cool place and great service

Fantastic food, cleaning environment, spacious great drinks selection, multiple sports TVs, great music, dog, a friendly

Visiting the city for a few weeks. Staying round the corner. Walked pass the place a few days ago and knew instantly that this was the place to be able to relax and watch super Sunday football and also the rugby. The guys in there was very friendly and even was helpful enough to suggest things to do when I'm off work. I will defo be back before I leave. I need to finish the stamp card lol

Chill pub with friendly staffs! With good student discount. Heather made a good gin and tonic haha

£7.40 for a pint of Kaleidoscope. The pub wasn't busy. It's such a shame. The place is great. I'd happily come here, but the price just isn't sensible. Staff were friendly.

Really friendly staff , food is average and every time we visit various things unavailable , variety of broken fixings in the toilets and hand dryers out of action , during the day it’s usually very quiet although i suspect gets busy in the evenings, prices are cheap

Came here with my partner and our dog on a rainy Sunday early evening. Staff were really approachable and helped me with my allergies. Very clean pub. Pretty displays too! One of the bar staff even brought a bowl of water for my dog. We ended up ordering a sharing starter to nibble on and it was huge! Prices are reasonable and quick service. We’ll definitely be back!

Went in there about 2 weeks ago on a Friday had a female vocalist on acoustic guitar, she had such an amazing voice very different I'd pay to watch her, it was a shame I had to leave.

Came here for fatchers aze with my dad, served by the fabulous bartender Jude who was very fierce and welcoming would definately come again .

A decent city centre pub - not sure what people expect (looking at other reviews) but we found everything to be as expected. Decent food and a range of beers and ciders and the staff were attentive (we were served a couple of times by a guy called Jude who was great). Went to watch the football and rugby and would go again.

We ordered a few side orders to share each was £3.50 The portions on chips and onion rings were as expected, but 2 slices of baguette for the garlic bread was not acceptable for the money. Beer prices seemed to be the same as elsewhere in the city. The staff were friendly. But the highlight was sitting with AS Roma fans to watch the football. The Birkett tap is the home to this official AS Roma fan club. ❤️💛❤️💛❤️

Lovely pub, deserves more attention

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere. We were served by Dan who was very friendly, and poured an amazing pint

Good for sport, £5.10 for an amstel tho

Terrible service from the staff, avoid this place.

Thank you so much to Dan for making the group feel so welcome and making the experience enjoyable. I celebrated my birthday here and was welcomed with a lovely sign when the table was reserved. Will be coming here again to celebrate occasions as well as casual outings. Thank you Dan!

Nice pub good for Watching sport lots of TV Screens Barmaid Ashleigh was Everything working the Bar waiting on the tables with food Changing barrels all on herOwn pub was Understaffed.

Food= good, small portions Atmosphere= great live music, relaxed feeling Service= -5 stars! A terrible experience! We had to wait 10 minutes in between each meal being served, and then a further 40 minutes for the last 2 meals for our table which came out both incorrect. Staff gave no apologies, we had to move our own tables together despite booking ahead. No concern or care for our welfare. No cutlery, no condiments, no salt and pepper. For a 21st birthday celebration, this was horrendous!

We just left the bar, 6 people serving and only 4 people waiting. All 4 of us still waiting and the staff still looking busy doing nothing

We went here on Friday night for a night cap before heading home. We ordered drinks sat down, were told 5 mins later it was last orders in 10 mins. Then 10 mins later our table was cleared away, doors locked and we were left standing outside with our drinks. In your defence you do list your closing time as 11pm and it was almost 11pm. But perhaps mention to people buying a drink 10 mins before close that you're closing in 10 minutes and give them the option to go somewhere else. Quite bad service to take our money and then kick us out, especially on a quiet Friday night! Sorry, but we won't be returning any time soon.

I had pre booked a table for 5pm, on arrival, 15 minutes early we were told that the manager had to be consulted, I presume because we arrived early, but the place was literally empty. After a few minutes the bar person reappeared to tell us that we could sit anywhere, all a bit odd. We made our choices from the menu but on ordering I was informed that they didn't have one of our food options or the ingredients to make the cocktail my wife wanted, it was 5pm on a Saturday afternoon, not last thing at night! We decided to leave and go elsewhere. Really badly run and very disappointing.

+ A very spacious pub, with ample seating and tv's on many walls (handy if you like sport) - Drinks were dearer than elsewhere though

Always good expecially st Patricks day. Shame its always dead.

Cool place with cool staff and nice food.

Very quiet during the afternoon, busier in the evening but service is slow, could do with more staff.

Brilliant bar staff. Couldn't be more helpful. Halle and jodie were great. Best around.

Amazing bat staff. Best pub in Bristol!

This Pub was very good with good vibes. Jodie was very helpful and kind.

Lovely pub and has 2 for 1 on drinks all the time!

Staff are lovely. Very pleasant vibe and very relaxing.

Jodie provided me with amazing service!

Lovely service and amazing drinks Jodie was very kind

Good food and service. All reasonably priced. It was very quiet when I went which could result in a different experience on a busier day.

Kacey hosted my friend's hen do tonight, she was so charismatic, it really set the mood for the whole night. Well done Kacey!

Another good night in popworld, a special thanks to the bar team and the lovely manager on the door 👍👍

Not well organised at all. Ordered a £3.70 drink which wasn’t properly advertised on the app they want us to use, I paid then they found out they don’t have it in stock, and refunded me with change. Also my mate ordered a coke 20 minutes ago and hasn’t got it yet. It’s Sunday too, so it’s quiet. There’s 1 girl working and I think she needs help.

Cheep and cheerful. Good food, good drink and friendly staff.

Last weekend at The Birkett Tap we were robbed by The Birkett Tap We went for a beer and we were charged £24 for 3 pints, £8 each. Basically it was a robbery! This is probably the most expensive place in Bristol for a beer. You can have the same pints in any pub 100m around and pay about £6 per beer, even £5. No prices were showned in any area of the pub. The waitress did not mention anything about the prices. We paid and left and will never ever come again, including any of our friends that were shocked after we showned the ticket in our social media.

Nice espace, Good drinks Clean toilets Open until 3 oclock

Terrible service. This place has 2 bars. They open 1 and put 1 barman on. Don't go here fir a drink unless you are not really thirsty and have plenty of time. The only thing going fir them is TV screens. This is the bar at 8.30 in a pub full of fans watching a game

Lovely pub, shows footie and not too busy on the weekend

Bloody loved it, great vibes, great music and lovely staff. 5 stars xoxo

Nice pub Has some great nights there when it was Malloys Isnt the same now 🤥😥

Does what it says on the tin. Beer and pub grub at reasonable prices. That'll do.

It's a great place to watch the six nations, there is a great atmosphere and all supporters have a great time

Ashleigh was superb and the bar was brilliant craic.

Nice place, nice blonde man working behind the bar, he is my fave barman

We had a great time watching the rugby at Birkett Tap and were given a great seat in front of the screen as requested! Ashley was really helpful and friendly.

Great view of the screens, open plan and lovely staff. Definitely recommend!

Ashley served us, great venue and atmosphere for the sport, docking one star because of raises drink prices for an event

Great sports bar clean and tidy Food good would definitely recommend

Really good service, definitely recommend Ashley she's awesome xxxxxx

Ashley was so hospitable and had a wonderful vibe, she really brought the energy!! Such a fantastic experience, would come back again!

Fantastic pub. Great beer. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great staff.
