The Brass Pig in Bristol, City of

A very retro vibe... somewhere where I would have been in my absolute element in my 20s... I'm not 37, and it's identical to everywhere I frequented then! Music included! Really impressed with £3.50 inches, and some lagers. The deck outside is nice, big robust tables. It was a great end to our Xmas do!

I'm only reviewing to state that you shouldn't attend this venue if they are holding a PA or meet for any sort of influencer. Venue is fine and good vibe if you want to drink, but left disappointed when the organising of a PA was poor. Come to get drunk but nothing else

The bouncers will accuse you of being underage even though they let you in and you have real ID they laugh at your photo yes it’s not a cold pic however it is real and then they will scare all the people off because they accuse you of being a child and the music is bad and they over ram the place and the music is so bad and it’s 6 quid for this evening what extortionate prices in this economy what a scam. Ganso tonto. We will will not be supporting this establishment in the future. Lovely staff except the bouncer who tellls people you are a child when you are not. Bit miffed tbh.

Visited today, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, with a cozy ambiance that's perfect for catching up with friends. The decor has a rustic charm, and the music added a nice vibe without being overpowering

The worst club I've been so far

On a Friday night out I was asked to leave the balcony area because I WASN'T smoking and if I WASN'T smoking then to get fresh air I had to leave and wouldnt be allowed back in. If that's NOT illegal, it certainly should be. Disgraceful.

Attila and Kenzie where both Amazing bar tenders and so much fun, would recommend this club 100%

Very nice People it is a bargain for Jäger bombs, good music also in a convenient location. Would recommend

Great spot since the new owners bought out the triangle bars. New DJs and better priced drinks than the previous time we went. Well worth a revisit, mainly targeted at student nights, could do with some new loos

Great went here here after work on a Friday, friendly lady, good atmosphere

Good white girl music, bit loud

That shot girl Amelia is a dream! WOW 😍She deserves a raise 🔥🤤

They ran out of dough on a Friday night by 8pm. Took a bit too long to be served at the bar. Nice venue.

Really kind staff. Shame it is 4 j bombs instead of 5 for a tenner now :(

Lipstick on the glasses we were given. No easy access to the bathrooms through the dance floor.

used to love brass pig until friday. an aggressive bouncer shouted in my friends face and then violently grabbed my arm, pulling me out the queue even though we had done nothing wrong. i’m a 5”2 girl and he was at least 6”0. we don’t know his name but he was tall with a beard and was italian. absolutely disgraceful, will not be returning if these ABUSIVE bouncers remain working there.

the bodyguard was aggressive and rude. im deeply disappointed in staff that are being rude to teenagers and that are unkind. It’s unneeded and the rest of the staff were unhelpful and just by-standing the disrespectful behaviour. i will not be going back and i think brass pig need to rethink who they employ. it’s not difficult to be polite and kind thank you

BETS PLACE EVER my new home I love the music I want to be there every week please. also quick question are u burnt down please can you reply asap emergency please we want to go tmrw if you have burnt down when are u opening again pls be quick preferably before Christmas holidays because we’re going home on the 16th. Would really appreciate it! Thanks love u from ur no1 fans Alice and Zoe

Good night out on a Thursday for students. It has a dance floor on the lower level and a bar upstairs. They play mostly pop songs, like Taylor Swift & Katy Perry.

I went there for drink on a Friday night. I like the atmosphere there. BUT the dance floor down stairs was horribly packed with too many people. I'm not even sure if it is safe to have that many people. It was difficult to breath. The toilets are on down stairs only so I need to go through the dance floor which wasn't easy at all. The queue for female toilets took ages. These are enough for me not to go there ever again.

Very good pub. Nice staff, I love George

Horrifyingly overpriced drinks. Disgusting behaviour by staff. In the male toilets, a scammer is positioned to charge you for washing your hands (not an exaggeration). I went with 5 friends and all separately had identical experiences, where a security employee stood outside and another individual stood inside telling people they’d have to pay (literally asking anyone who walked in “how much are you paying” - after refusing to pay we were told we’d “have to get past the guy on the door” Drinks are often stale, bottom of the barrel. This place does not replace barrels when the tap sputters and foams, they’ll just serve you anyway. Go anywhere else, please don’t support this business

Bouncers were overly aggressive. Threw drink on the floor at the end of the night. Dead atmosphere for a Saturday night,

Guy behind the bar was friendly, half the pub was closed. Very few people in the pub and prices quite high. No atmosphere.

There is a young male bartender here who offers doubles as an upsell but will then proceed to pour 2 drinks and keep one for himself. Young, long kind of greasy hair, short. He's was also just unnecessarily rude and snappy at people. Avoid seeing as they scam people. Drinks are also very expensive.

I popped in with my partner for a quick drink and to look around.bI was charged £6.50 for a small bottle of Peroni. I queried this with the bar person who told me that was the correct cost

Having to pay £9 for a double of house vodka is atrocious, this place isnt worth writing about unless you go during the week then its good fun

The music etc is ok. Venue is very badly let down by the bartenders who think it's acceptable to offer a double as an upsell and then proceed to pour 2 drinks, one for themselves and one for you and make you pay for both. Really shady barmen. It was just 1 guy who did this and to their credit the rest of the bar staff were lovely but this one male bartender was happy to scam me. Just for the fact that they do things like this means I can't recommend this place at all. Drinks are also very pricey here - 1 shot was like £7.

Go on the student nights unless you want to pay £70 for a double vodka mixer.

Walked in with plans for a nice drink with some friends. Was greeted by the welcoming smell of vomit (fumigation needed). Was then charged £5 for a half pint of Carlsberg (how?). Left abruptly.

Got turned away as I was single at 10pm, went there as a single on Friday and all was ok. Poor, not going back ever.... Not worth a rating......

Booked few tables with my mates and they told us capacity was too high even though we booked completely ruined are night out as we could’ve booked somewhere else but our booking was confirmed so we relied on it, was also quite clear the manager didn’t brush his teeth he breathed in my face and I almost shrivelled up WOULDNT RECCOMEND THIS PUB TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE.

Good music and Covid security but bar staff don’t know what drinks they have and no app to order so unless you want a larger be prepared for back and forth and to wait an age for your drinks

Nice venue for a few drinks and nice cocktails

Impolite and incompetent bar staff, flat lager and poor selection. Venue was dirty and unloved, catering largely for the student crowd who clearly have pretty low standards.

Stopped in as we were passing on the way into central Bristol. Nothing special and no real atmosphere which was a shame seeing it was a Friday evening.

Fuimos con un gran grupo de nosotros para la noche de cóctel 2 4 1 que se detiene a las 11. Tan pronto como todos ordenamos, quedó claro que el equipo no estaba muy confiado en la fabricación de cócteles, tomó un tiempo más para hacerlos y siguió las hojas de instrucciones sobre cómo hacerlos detrás de la barra. Esto estuvo bien, trabajando detrás de un bar, respeté lo desafiante que sería, fue una noche relativamente tranquila allí, así que fuimos pacientes y los cócteles que recibimos fueron excelentes. !Sin embargo, en mi segundo viaje al bar me vieron que me servían como un buen caballero y cuando ordené que una mujer pelirroja con la cintura atada se acercara, lo interrumpió y me dijo que no podíamos hacer más cócteles, lo sentimos ' re "sin cal". A lo que dije que está bien, no me importa si lo reemplazas con refresco o limonada. La camarera respondió que se refería a la lima recién calcinada, así que le dije que estaba bien, ¡solo hágalo sin la lima exprimida! Discutiendo conmigo otra vez, ella dijo que no, así que le dije que este cóctel no tiene limón, así que tendré 2 de estos. La mujer pelirroja dijo que no había cal en eso también (a pesar de que el menú no dice lo mismo que los demás, lo que sería una violación de las regulaciones de alérgenos). Se hizo evidente muy rápidamente que no quería ser haciendo más cócteles con pereza. Respondí diciendo que solo para hacerlos sin la lima exprimida, de todos modos no me molestó y al final el encantador caballero que me atendió dijo que no te preocupes, lo haré y me alejé para comenzar a hacerlos.La mujer pelirroja se alejó quejándose con el otro personal y luego sirvió a dos clientes, tratando de hacer el mismo concierto al que dijeron que tendrían mojitos y luego dijo "lo siento, no podemos". se acercó a sus colegas en el bar y gritó: "los chicos simplemente no hacen más cócteles".Creo que es un liderazgo bastante desagradable hacer que su equipo se sienta incómodo en el bar cuando simplemente trata de atender las necesidades de los clientes y mentir acerca de no ser "capaz" de hacer cócteles simplemente por pereza. Como se trata de una oferta promocional de 2 4 1, realmente no sé qué esperaba de la noche, pero la mayoría de los clientes allí tenían una jarra de mermelada frente a ellos, habiendo ido allí claramente por los famosos cócteles aquí. Me hace cuestionar que vuelva, siendo un estudiante, no tengo mucho dinero, por lo que fuimos a un acuerdo de cóctel, ya que podíamos pagarlos y la posibilidad de regresar y traer a 10 amigos solo para que todos seamos rechazados. pedir lo que fuimos allí (y anuncian) me hace no recomendar volver.El resto del personal fue increíble, claramente haciendo todo lo posible, con alrededor de 6 personas en el bar de arriba solo parecían estar realmente bien. Solo una señora perezosa, claramente muy miserable, decepcionando al equipo como si se hubiera tragado una avispa.

Poor customer service rude arrogant bouncers

The Brass Pig is a nice 2-storey pub on the Triangle in Bristol. The drinks are reasonably priced and there is a good selection. The terrace is lovely to sit outside on when the weather is good. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The Brass Pig is a nice pub in Bristol to drink in during the day and has a good atomsphere at night time. The Brass Pig has live music every Thursday, free entry every night and drink deals every night and they do 2-4-1 cocktails Tuesday & Thursday until 11pm. The Brass Pig is a nice place to go to with friends for drinks. Some of the seating could be improved especially outside on the terrace. Overall The Brass Pig is a clean and modern pub in the heart of Bristol with a good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. Open 5pm - 2am Monday - Saturday (except bank holidays). You can also book parties at The Brass Pig and their sister venue Gravity is just along and across the road.

£7.20 for a terrible gin & lemonade in a plastic cup, of which a fair amount was spilled by the bartender who wasn’t arsed about it. Could’ve had about 3 of these in a Wetherspoons for the same price and they’d have been bigger, better, and not spilled without apology.

Absolutely ridiculous/hilarious/pathetic that at 51 & 53 we weren’t allowed in because we didn’t bring ID. You’ve missed out on our custom. To my friends, family and anyone else actually don’t bother going there either! - very very poor customer service. Or was it plain and simple discrimination knowing older people wouldn’t have ID and that’s not the demographic you’re after?? Reading the other reviews that’s more like it.

Friends birthday party and we found this a great venue. Door staff very friendly and professional, and very polite and attentive bar staff..ask for William at the bar...excellent service.....top bloke.!! Door staff Paul..friendliest guy ever..thanks all

Had a sober night, decent bit of Totti but no home runs.. 🙄

El personal del bar no servía a mis amigos y yo a pesar de que no habíamos bebido nada. Esperamos pacientemente en el bar durante aproximadamente una hora, observando cómo una licitante de una mujer nos evitaba y, cuando llegó el momento, finalmente me sirvió, me dijo que estaba "demasiado borracha", aunque no había bebido nada. Una amiga igual de sobria que luego intentó tomar una copa y otra vez le dijeron que no la iban a atender, y le dio un golpecito a la mujer en la espalda para preguntar por qué, y la mujer de la licitación del bar respondió violentamente: "No me toques". '. Obviamente, ella tenía un problema con la forma en que nos veíamos o algo así, ya que no hay otra explicación razonable detrás de por qué no nos servirían y por qué esta mujer actuó tan enojada y violentamente.

Have been here many times and like it a lot. However, bouncers reject people- usually based on prejudices. Please remove Rhys Davis.

Great place for students during the week. Monday and Thursday would recommend. On Friday many of the locals and bouncers will unnecessary exert their power, they will try reject anyone on any basis.

Watered down drinks. Had a double G&T and could taste neither gin nor tonic! The beer is just as bad. To be avoided.

We came here for drinks for a work thing. What an awful place. Miserable staff who really do not seem to want to serve waiting customers and absolutely freezing cold. It makes Wetherspoons look plush whilst charging Clifton prices!

They upsell alcohol on card spends less than a fiver

Este lugar solía tener un gran servicio junto con ser un muy buen lugar para relajarse con una selección de bebidas, sin embargo, en mi última visita, mi compañero y yo no estábamos impresionados con el servicio que recibimos y el conocimiento del personal (poder para servir una pinta), y el olor del lugar tampoco era el mejor.

Friendly atmosphere on Friday night and still open when other places in the area were closing.

Great place for a night out. Both a bar and dance floor with free entry makes for a welcome difference to the usual club atmosphere.

Great bar. 2 floors and great staff

Warm beer and quite expensive, also minimum £5 on card which is a real drawback in this day and age.

En mi vida he estado en muchos bares en muchos países. Todos ellos tienen aspectos positivos y negativos. Sin embargo, nunca en toda mi vida he encontrado un bar con tan pocas características a su favor; mientras que tiene tan pocas cualidades que lo complementan.

Nice,.. Roomy space,.. Atmosphere and ambience,.. Friendly,.. Nice for quiet time after work,. Also popular at weekends

Lo peor es el lento personal del bar que no reconoce quién ha estado allí primero. Trabajo en un bar y entiendo que los clientes pueden ser molestos y las noches ocupadas, pero fue ridículo cuánto tiempo toman bebidas y cómo solo sirven a las personas que quieren / que están más cerca de donde se encuentran. Cada vez que he estado aquí han tardado siglos para servir a las personas especialmente en el bar de la planta baja. Otra desventaja es que está lleno de agresivos y groseros niños molestos: si eres un estudiante de primer año, entonces probablemente esté bien, pero para cualquier otra persona es muy molesto. Las bebidas son demasiado caras también. Lo único positivo es que es una buena decoración para el lugar, la música es decente y también lo es el refugio para fumadores. En general, no recomendaría ir a menos que Mbargos esté cerrado o como último plan de zanja.

Reasonably priced, tasty cocktails, plenty of seating and a downstairs dancefloor. Often busy and popular with students.

Horrible dance club, full of students

Apareció para tomar algo rápido antes de ir a comer a otra parte. Al entrar al bar fue golpeado por un olor no tan agradable. No pude describirlo pero me quitó la cerveza. El servicio es bueno, la cerveza estaba bien, a un precio razonable, pero este lugar parece cansado.

Turning people away for being gay? This place is a disgrace!!

Wasn't allowed in due to wearing shorts (pretty smart topman ones, wear to the office) but the girl in yoga leggings behind me wasn't a problem. Will wear a short skirt next time

Hadn't been here in a while and found the selection of beer on tap pretty lacking. It's a nice place though.

Nunca había comida pero recuerdo muchas noches en las que mis amigos y yo terminamos teniendo una bebida y no hay otro lugar con ese horrible proyecto de Coca-Cola. Si quieres pedir coca-cola por sí misma o con botellas de algo sólo para pedir uno, causa de resolución es sencillamente asqueroso!

Usually very loud and busy on a weekend night. Good outside area for mingling in or smoking

Came here for food and drinks with friends. Food was fantastic and very friendly staff.have been several times and always enjoy our visit.

Fuimos por la noche nuestro equipo de salida después de nuestra fiesta de Navidad.

Average bar, good burgers though!

A large pleasant bar but it doesn't serve beer! Lager only and not even any beer in bottles! Looks a bit unloved and needs a smarten up!

Nice pub. Good atmosphere, good music. Outside seating area. Might want to give the ladies toilets a miss :/ although I

No vender el cerdo, el cerdo estridente, estridente no creo que entiendo! ¿Por dónde empezar? Estado viniendo aquí durante un año en la noche del lunes para liberar las sesh. Este lugar botas fuera de £2 pintas de un lunes y la boiz están fuera de uno. Este lugar ha sido afinados para el sesh: Pájaros en forma, una variedad de seshable pintos (aaaah me encanta una Carling), gran espacio abierto, con excelente zona de no fumadores que balc/maximiza el sucio coquetas avec les chicas.

Cool place with multiple levels. Nice and spacious place to hang out. Beer is ok.

Pretty awful place. Went on a Thursday evening, around 9ish, and there were about 12 other people there. The staff were pretty rude and we're all just stood around the bar not doing anything, giving off a really uncomfortable atmosphere. No menus or prices anywhere...

Después quitó la parrilla de fin de stock festival de comida. Nos sentamos y tomamos unas copas. Estaba muy concurrido, sólo su media pub, supongo.

Como otros antes que yo intento más de 2 días, reservar una comida de domingo por teléfono y correo electrónico, no sirvió para nada. Decidimos ir a domingo a las 12 o'clock de todos modos de encontrar cerrado y 2 mujeres que habíamos reservado anteriormente fuera obviamente esperaba que estuviera abierto. Me pregunto si aún está en funcionamiento, pero sin duda no la aconsejaría a cualquiera.

Its has been going in for 6 months now, they told me twice that the refund has been paid but this was a month ago. Today they told me to come in and pick up cash, and guess what? There is no cash! The internal communication between managers is non existing because they always tell that they don't know anything and I have to wait until one of the managers is back. Don't book anything with them, they are a bunch of liars and doesn't show any respect to their customers! No business behaves like this!

Group of 7.Had a fab time here, although service was a little poor.between us they only provided 1 small jug of milk for our afternoon tea which didn't even do a ful round, we requested another, 10 mins later had to again ask which took a further 5 mins to arrive. A glass of wine was ordered alongside the afternoon tea (pre-booked we just gave the go ahead to bring out) and this drink took 25 minutes to arrive after asking 3 different people.Our 2 hour slot ended and they were very accommodating with re-seating us near the bar.Food was quite nice, desserts were lovely.

Phone is never answered. Despite numerous messages left with phone number. I had a booking but when i arrived the place was shut and it has been open since but have still had no answer as to why it was shut on my booking. I have eaten here before and to be fair the food was the quality of a microwaved meal but was willing to try the roast on a voucher as i hadnt tried it before so i was going to give it another chance. Disgusting customer service. Its only still open due to people drinking there on weekends because of its location

We were supposed to have a Christmas dinner there and one day before they canceled it on us. The deposit was paid and everything seemed to be ok, after the cancellation they were very apologetic and said they will give the deposit back. Now 5 months after, the deposit is not back, managers are ignoring all of our emails/calls/messages! They said to come in and give me my card details but after that it seems like they are not existing anymore. Very unprofessional from their side!

This place tried to be everything - it does vouchers to get people in to eat a Sunday roast but the night before is a bar with DJ. As such for eating, it has an odd atmosphere. The roast was average, some might have been homecooked but Yorkshires definitely out of a packet! It was average in size and tasted ok but not great- much better options locally. Had a shock when the drinks bill came- we had two pints of ale- one was £5 and one was £4.30. Way too expensive for The Brass Pig! Kind of price i'd expect to pay in London or an upmarket place in Bristol. Wouldn't visit again or recommend.

We come here a lot and it really is a great place.Drinks are averagely priced its central to other bars around the area and the service is always quick.Most of the time the atmosphere is great with a range of different aged people.Lately I've found it to be FULL of immature teenagers trying to intimidate by pouring all through the bar and outside space.All paraletic, rude and bad behaviours.I hope it returns to how it was before as this was one of our favourite places to start a night out.Also downstairs and the toilets could do with a refurb.

Went for Sunday roast. The place looks really nice and the decor is quite interesting. Was sat downstairs and there was a strong draft. Food is completely average and the draft made it go cold really quickly. Attentive staff, cheap drinks, but wouldn't go there again for food.

went on a living social voucher deal for sunday meal for 2.Worst meal we have ever eaten!The beef was tainted and veg very very al dente.The gravy was stuck around the plate,suggesting definately microwaved.Could not even order a coffee.Definately would never eat there again

Visited for lunch on a voucher deal for burger and chips. Burger was nice, chips were ok but they had already been salted and I don't put sat on my food. This should be a choice. Also asked for tomato ketchup and they had ran out. There is a Sainsbury's just across the road someone could have gone and bought some! Finally on leaving I visited the ladies toilets and there was no toilet paper - luckily I always carry tissues! Overall not impressed and wouldn't go again.

Meet here for a works do, very busy but plenty off staff on the door, went back after had a meal and the music was good so stayed till they closed, great place

At the end of the night and fancy one more drink and a little dance then hit this pub. There's a dance floor downstairs and the bar upstairs, not sure on price of drinks but as its a hot spot for uni students I presume it's not expensive. Free to get in, don't forget your ID!

Me and my mum went here when we had a voucher for the Sunday lunch. My mum didn't enjoy it at all but I did. The meat was rare and just to my taste (why is it so hard to find places that serve rare beef on Sundays?!). I really enjoyed the potatoes and veg that it came with. We asked for extra gravy which took a while but the staff were happy to oblige. Even though my mum didn't like it it didn't change my opinion of the place.

went for a drink the other night here and it was just being trashed my students, i couldn't enjoy a casual drink with friends, the music was too loud, clubby and the whole place was soulless. avoid

My partner made the unfortunate decision to pick this place for some food and drinks ! From the outside looks nice and the name brass pig would give the impression of a good meaty menu, couldn't be further from the truth.Ordered 4 starters as the menu was awful just pizza and burgers mainly. I ordered the calamari in which I took one bite of and nearly spewed in my mouth. My partner has been ill today having to run to the nearest loo in sight. By far the worst place I've eaten. Cheap crappy frozen food. Would not recommend !!

Sunday lunch at The Brass Pig Bristol is definitely to be avoided! Shabby surroundings, unkempt waiting staff, poor food. No atmosphere. I think that sums it up !

Came here as we had a coupon. The outside decor looks a little dated but eh staff were very friendly.Had the Sunday lunch and it was excellent, tasty food. If you are looking for a straightforward roast you cant go wrong.

Recently visited for Sunday lunch as had bought a living social voucher for a half price offer. It was very busy but the service was efficient and the food was nice but average. Has a large heated covered seating area outside so good for smokers.

We had bought a Living Social voucher for a Sunday lunch at The Brass Pig in Clifton. The voucher was for lunch with a glass of wine. As I was driving and my husband doesn't like wine we were very happy to hear we could have any drink and pay the difference. The staff were very friendly, the venue is lovely with a terrace overlooking Clifton Triangle (good for people watching! ) and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back!

Very friendly staff good bistro atmosphere. Kyle and his colleagues provided a very good value for money Sunday lunch, had we eaten later we would have been treated to a performance from the regular pianist. Drink however was a tad pricey. Excellent value on a groupon deal.

Our Sunday Lunch on a Groupon ticket arranged by a family friend just didn't happen.Six of us arrived at 12:25 in (what we thought was good time).Our two friends with the ticket arrived some 5 minutes later( one of them is physically impaired and gets where she wants to be, but slowly and painfully).Within that period of 10 minutes the six of us were told we could not stay for lunch because, children are not welcome.( With us we had Thomas 10 and Emily 7 )Staff were unfriendly and unfeeling...we had travelled some distance and were hot and tired.It was somewhat our friend's fault but ...staff at the Brass Pig could have helped by at the very least suggesting an alternative venue.. instead of being rude to an old man (70) and asking him and his family to leave.

I had a lovely dinner here with my wife recently. The service was fantastic. Keep up the good work. Great prices for what you get.

Really nice pub with drinks for a decent value. About £4.50 a pint which is standard but not great. Loved the terrace outside.

During a trip to Bristol with our 6 week old daughter we realised we needed to make a quick stop to feed her as she was getting very hungry. It was a very hot day and she was getting quite distressed. We popped into the Brass Pig and asked the staff if it was ok to find a quiet corner to feed her in. The pub was completely empty and at first we were told it was fine to feed my daughter even without buying a drink (we would have been happy to do this)A manager then came down and told us that we had to leave as he couldn't have anyone under the age of 14 on the premises. He was very insistent and didn't seem to realise how absurd it is to kick a 6 week old baby out of a pub at 1pm on a Saturday. A pretty terrible experience!

My friends and I reserved a table on the terrace for our friend's 40th birthday. It was such a lovely location, we were able to watch the hustle and bustle of the clifton triangle whilst we enjoyed the cocktails on offer. Which were absolutely delicious!The service was great, lots of smiles from the staff. Our friend had a lovely time and was well catered for. We would all definitely come here again.

I found the staff were rude, we tried to join the pub quiz and the bar lady was less than helpful. The food was awful, for example the garlic bread was just salt on bread. No wonder there's always group on offers.Don't go!
