Watched the football and had a couple cans with some good friends however the team scored and then my friend hit me (he's not my friend anymore) I think it was my fault more than his but like the cans were flowing so that's good news we had a good time staff nice and crisp selection good.

Popped in tonight with my husband and we will be back again. Greeted by the most friendly amazing security we have came across in a long time, to then be served by a bunch of awesome bar staff who made us feel welcome. Thank you so much see you soon

This is my favourite pub on Gloucester road, period. Great prices on drinks, pool tables, a nice covered and heated outdoor area. There are also events on almost everyday whether it's free pool, pub quiz or some local live music. It has such a great sense of neighbourhood and community about it and is honestly pretty rare in the student heavy areas like lower Gloucester road.

This pub now has a superb land lady, properly fitted beer garden, pizzas and a good selection of drinks. The pizzas are lovely and great value. The beer garden is split into two and is a real surprise compared to what it used to be a few years ago, very welcoming. We watched a few Euros 2024 games there and the staff were polite, efficient and helpful throughout. Give it a try!

We popped in for a drink on a sunny afternoon & we really wished we hadn't! My drink was undrinkable & they refused to let me switch it for another drink & tried to charge me £6 for a glass of fruit cider on top of having paid for the drink that had made me feel sick just tasting it... The little beer garden would have been lovely but the table was covered in tobacco & cigarette ash & the ground was littered with discarded cigarette ends. Such a shame as we are locals & will definitely not be returning with some staff members' complacency- not seeming to care about their customer's experience at all!

Cracking boozer. The landlady is top notch and I've been coming here for over a decade now. The only criticism I have, is that sometimes you come across some very rude staff members which can really kill the over all vibe if you're out trying to enjoy yourself with friends. I hope management can crack down on this before they lose regular punters.

Been going to this pub for 15years. It did used to be better, especially on Xmas and Ny eve, before noise complaints and they had to calm the place down, which is understandable. But still a great little pub with a cracking atmosphere. Karaoke, pool, not crazy cheap, but doesn't cost an arm and a leg either for the location. They actually have another huge beer garden 6X the size of the main one that they never seem to open which is odd because I'm sure they could pack it out. Seen it open just a couple of times during the summer, maybe this is again because of noise complaints from residents who bought a house next to a pub and then realised they were actually grumpy f****rs and instead of f*****g off decided to complain and ruin it for everyone. 4*s just because of how good it used to be compared to now. That being said, it's still a cracking boozer. Thanks for all the good night's over the years!

A group of 8 of us (students) came here at 11pm on a Tuesday evening after having a lovely dinner elsewhere for a friend’s 21st birthday. When we arrived at the pub, it was practically empty, with the only customers being non-students. This pub professes to be a cool and fun pub for students, and on friday-Saturday is usually pretty rammed. However, on a Tuesday this is not the case. We went because most other pubs shut at 11, and we wanted a pint or two to end the night. Upon arriving, 4 of us (girls) went to the toilets whilst the others bought a pint each (bar one boy, who does not drink alcohol). When we got to the bar, we were met by the landlord (bald short man), who was telling our sober friend that he had to buy a drink, or he could not sit with his friends, in a practically empty pub; one hour before close. Obviously we were all stunned, having never heard such a bizarre thing by someone working in hospitality. When my friend (female) tried to get the landlord to expand upon this, he replied in a very condescending, irritated and irrational manner; essentially being very rude to a PAYING CUSTOMER. We told the landlord that everyone except our sober friend would buy a drink shortly, and that we just wanted to get settled first (having had a big dinner shortly prior), but he disregarded this quickly - we HAD to buy something as soon as we set foot in the pub, or we had to leave. The birthday girl did say that some people may not want to buy a drink at all, or get one after sitting for a bit, and mentioned that a lot of students (and others) may not be able to afford drinks out (cost of living crisis etc), to which he replied “well you just should stay at home then if you can’t buy anything when your friends go out”. Sorry????? That is the weakest, most unsympathetic, ignorant, and frankly unoriginal response and is laughable - We have come into your EMPTY pub, sat by the window by a busy road - we could have brought in a few students at the end of the night by advertising that students were actually there. We told him that everything he was saying was ridiculous and unsubstantiated, but he was a brick wall - repeatedly telling us that his pub was “not a youth club”, and that people buy things in pubs to keep the facilities open. If this narrow minded man would have been SLIGHTLY more welcoming, our sober friend would have bought a soft drink, and the remaining ‘customers’ would have paid for one or two pints EACH - we would have given him our business. This man’s logic is entirely flawed: he said that he would’ve been happy if the rest of us had got a half pint of lemonade each, instead of waiting 10 minutes and then getting a £5 pint. It is apparent that this man has 0 manners and no respect for PAYING CUSTOMERS. Also the toilets are grim. Thank you for making my friend sit outside with her pint - what a lovely way to end a 21st birthday!

Had an awful experience here, the manager made me feel really uncomfortable here tonight, aswell as all of my friends. We were all up for a nice evening and all he did was made us feel uncomfortable and I honestly cannot believe his behaviour, I can’t believe someone like him works here it’s appalling and I’m never going back again. He ruined my friends 21st birthday, and I need to add we did nothing, he had a issue with us the minute we walked in because 1/8 of us didn’t buy a drink because he’s quit drinking but doesn’t want to miss a friends birthday. I really hope this man (bald man) is told never to treat people like this again or if not is fired. Disappointed as thought it could be fun.

By far the worst pub in Bristol. Bald-headed manager bloke was exceptionally rude to my friends, questioning our reason to be in there, asserting that we were only there to use the pool table, demanding that was bought a drink within 3 seconds or threatening to kick us out, refusing to give us our food back, seems to hate young people saying ‘it’s not a youth club’ despite the fact cat and wheel makes all its money from students pahah, condescending our entire group from the start. Also called us ‘too poor to be in a pub’. Piped down when it was given back to him lol

Very upset and disappointed with my experience here last night! Brought a few friends to the pub to celebrate my 21st birthday. A few of us had bought drinks when one of my friends was asked what he wanted and he responded that he was just going to wait a bit before getting anything. The response from who I believe is the manager was extremely hostile stating that he could not stay without purchasing anything immediately even though 7 out of the 8 of us in the pub were buying drinks. Considering the current cost of living crisis as well as being students I cannot believe the lack of empathy from this man who when I explained that it was my birthday and that I just wanted to spend some time with my friends responded that my friend should have have come out with us if he could not afford to buy a drink. I have never experienced this kind of attitude in a pub ever… when I myself have been out elsewhere with friends and not been able to afford a drink the staff do not even question such a sensitive topic as struggling with money. Anyway, not wanted to leave our friend waiting outside by himself, we left taking our drinks in cups. Honestly having to sit and drink my pint in a plastic cup in a bus stop really put a dampener of what should have been a great birthday! It wasn’t even busy in the pub and by us leaving you missed out on business anyway so I hope you think twice before doing this to someone else.
