The Gallimaufry in Bristol, City of

We popped in here for drinks & the place is amazing. Will be back ASAP

Iconic. What more can I say. Jazz nights, great food and great beers. Good location and good atmosphere. Top notch!

Amazing Sunday roast. Great vibe. Nice staff. Great outdoor space. Quuirky interior. Hope thw Sunday roasts return soon

One of my favorite bars in bristol

Very nice food and place to have a drink

New bloke with the mad floppy hair makes a good Bloody Mary

Is a decent venue but unfortunately one of the musicians was too drunk and decided to try and pick a fight with my friend after overhearing a snippet of his conversation with my partner. Wasn't handled well by the security and bar staff who accused me of being aggressive when I explained that he had come over to us and picked a fight. Seems like if you are performing there you can treat the punters however you please and the staff will have your back/try to intimidate whoever you take a dislike to on a whim.

Fun pub with a good drinks selection and interesting food menu. We went early on a Friday evening and found a seat easily outside. The hummus and bread was generous for the price and really tasty with a crunchy chickpea topping. Would love to pop by for more food sometime.

Really friendly staff and the most consistently good food I've ever known

Had a really nice evening, lush food and great atmosphere 👌🏻

A great local bar/café/music venue/all round night out! Lots of brilliant local musicians, full of people during the day and late into the evening. Always a brilliant atmosphere

I have been here a number of times for a drink. I came here last year to see a concert. I will likely come here again if I want a drink. The only negative thing I came say about this venue is that it can get very loud inside. Fortunately, they do have seating upstairs which is slightly quieter.

Oh wow where to start? The best Sunday lunch I’ve had in years (and I cook a mean Sunday lunch myself!) The braised beef, a lovely surprise under the deliciously tender medium rare generous roast slice, was succulent, savoury, more-ish - and I’d love to have the recipe!!! The seasonal vegetable selection was fresh, beautifully cooked, plentiful and varied - I counted at least five veggies as well as brilliant roasties. The yorkshires weren’t as crisp as I’d like but they were massive and tasty. I don’t ‘do’ dessert - lol - but when I read the description of the lemon curd, raspberry and shortbread pot I “gave in” and didn’t regret it!! Delicious end to a remarkable Sunday lunch!!

Good vibes, had a DJ and drinks selection is good and outdoor front area has a good atmosphere. This was a Saturday eve.

I have to say the place is really nice ! Staff customer service was a letdown, to be honest ! No interaction between us. There was more interaction amongst themselves. they should ask if you are finished with your glass instead of just moving it without saying anything!! Staff could do with a uniform or even T Shirts as at times you could not differentiate between them and the customers. Only one cider on tap is not good. I was watching numerous queues at the bar, and it wasn't overly busy. Props to the DJs playing vinyl 👏 I will definitely go back as I need to try the food and cocktails.

Absolutely delicious Roast, in my opinion the best in Bristol. Having been to The Bank Tavern previously and been underwhelmed I still don't understand the waiting list, I would say don't bother get to the Galli you won't be disappointed. Compliments to the Chef and their team.

Met a cute guy in there and the lady let me slither off with a free olive, she knows what time it is. Queen behaviour by any standard.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for a roast after hearing a good recommendation from my friend who lives locally. The inside was colourful with a unique decor. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was that we ordered and it took a lengthy time for the food to arrive. However, the food was worth the wait as the generous portions were all delicious and cooked beautifully. The roast beef was one of the best I've ever had!

An institution. Super chill, super friendly, great staff all round, always good tunes and great live music - still a favourite late bar after many years 😍

Lovely bar and restaurant. Good Sunday roast.

walked in and got a table on a Saturday evening maybe better to book a plane in case. Delicious food quick and friendly staff. Buzzing atmosphere quite busy

Roast potatoes & gravy are unreal. £6-7 for a pint might make you tear up getting a round in.

I really wanted to like this place but maybe my pallette is refined enough for what they offer. The food looks lovely and I'm hoping for the expensive price it's all fresh etc. but I just have an issue on spending so much money on small portions in what is essentially a pub.

Food here is always excellent! The only thing that was a slight negative is how loud and rowdy it is if you go for food on a Saturday!

Had the beef roast here yesterday, was very impressed. Best roast I can remember having for a very long time if not ever. Worth the price for sure.

Lively friendly mixed crowd excellent beer choice. Open late . Popular and busy without being overcrowded. Comfortable and quirky.

Fantastic Sunday roasts, beef to die for. Vege other half very excited to have 3 choices of roast. I just wish their sour cocktails had egg white included - they just don’t taste right without.

Excellent service staff where very helpful and gorgeous food we definitely come back again thanks 😊

Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Food for vegetarians is pretty basic.

Great events, music is always groovy! First time having the Sunday roast today; a HEARTY portion. Expensive but delivers. Slow roasted Lamb was excellent. Gravy, full of oomph. Staff were lovely. My company thought the service was slow which was probably why the vegetables (red cabbage, two carrots and three peas) and potatoes weren’t singing songs of flavour. The potatoes lacked the fluffiness I’m after in the perfect ‘Tater. A cauliflower cheese is our litmus test for a good roast and so far, the best we’ve had in Bristol. Would go again

Good service, nice vibes, live music or DJ often on. The food though, celiac friendly, super tasty with a good variety. A hidden gem on Gloucester Road (food wise that is)

Superb Sunday lunch- the roast chicken was moist and tasty and the lamb perfectly cooked. Excellent service with a really tasty Italian red wine from Sardinia 'appessiemento style' Excellent value.

Great venue, tried here for some drinks and it was a great experience. I love the interior, it's unique and keeps you wondering about some of the art. Recommended and would definitely visit again

A wonderful venue, friendly staff and lovely food. Thank you for making our Daughter's Birthday Celebrations special yesterday. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year 🥰

Such a vibrant atmosphere and love the ceiling decor. We were there for drinks - bit noisy if you want a quiet chat, but we enjoyed the buzz about the place.

Absolutely fantastic roast! I don't go out for roasts very often but very glad we went here, the roast beef was amazing and as well as the roast beef joint there is brisket on the plate which was fantastic. The selection of beers, drinks and cocktails was great. They were very busy so although the food took a little while to come out it arrived hot and tasty so no worries at all. I also had the arancini as a side which was absolutely brilliant, the flavour was incredible! Will definitely be back as it's a great place to take friends who are visiting even just to have a drink and hang out.

Incredible food and drinks, great service and an amazing setup, one of the best meals I've had in a long time

Very friendly staff and great Sunday roast. Nice atmosphere and plenty of room between tables so you can enjoy your time with friends and family

Decent food, decent portions, good atmosphere, nice staff cheers.

The atmosphere was absolutely electric! Great smokers!

The Gali. What a place. Slightly scared of the random person paying for my drinks at the bar but on the whole fair decent place. To be surrounded by a courtyard of lovers at various stages of their romantic journeys brings me inner peace and the feeling of jumping off a bridge, hand in hand with my imaginary lover who would love it here . The dull thud of the kick drum through the burgundy walls rattled my soul and made me think of my grandmothers house who loved hitting me with her slippers and playing the drums 👍

Always at the Galli to see live music on a Wednesday and they never fail to provide

Fantastic evening here. Lighting perfect, service brilliant, waitress remembered who ordered what, was very attentive and efficient, but not fawning! Food was fab, vegans, veggies and meats all ate handsome generous tasty food. SO GOOD!

Can’t fault this place. It is aesthetically stunning inside - could have spent an hour just looking at the art. Shared small plates with friends and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend the arancini and the crumbed tofu. Good choice of wines and all reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back.

Great place for a Sunday roast with plenty of other options. Including some great vegetarian choices

Tasty fresh food, friendly staff. Happy days.

My favourite pub in Bristol. Great beers all the time and the food is just amazing. The staff is too.

Great place for a beer. Good atmos. Good friendly service. Did t way so Didnt score

Brilliant place music does start a little late sometimes on a week day, it starts 10-10.30 and alot of people got jobs !

First visit, hopefully won't be the last. Great choice of beers, bloody Mary/ Maria's were enjoyed. Sunday roast (pork) was amazing. Really nice and friendly staff too.

Excellent sunday roast gluten free and gluten free beers on tap top work peeps

Didn't eat but food supposed to be great. Brilliant service and atmosphere

I came here for a roast as part of a friends Birthday surprise and honestly the service here was way above standard. The food and drinks were affordable, delicious and came with amazing hospitality. Special thanks to the chefs for cooking and a special thanks to Rachel looking after us all. Would recommend to anyone from any walk of life

Great atmosphere, lovely food and efficient service. The arancini was particularly good, also nice were the buttermilk chicken and the aubergine tagine. Lots of vegetarian options and a good selection of wines and cocktails. Live Middle Eastern style music was a bonus. Would definitely visit again.

Excellent food, service and price. Will definatly be going again when I am in Bristol

Exceptional hospitality and first class service. Thank you James! 🙏🏼

Local hub for creatives and good folk, tasty seasonal food, still doing it's thing after all these years.

Excellent Sunday roast. Catered for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike. Nice relaxed atmosphere with good music.

Lovely staff and great venue! Good value for money but the food was good in parts and not quite so good in parts, but overall not to shabby.1

The best South Indian restaurant I have ever been to after coming to the United Kingdom: delicious authentic South Indian-style food. Amiable and professional Staff providing service along with a clean and vibrant ambience

We ate an excellent roast dinner here yesterday. It was the best vegan roast we have had in our lives! Portions were a very decent size too, a rare experience these days. One of us had the pork roast and said it was one of the best roasts he had eaten also :) Tried the arancini starter dish (with cashew sauce, pea and mint pesto) which was absolutely delicious also. The vegan roast consisted of butternut squash roast with herbs and onions, roast potatoes, peas cabbage and carrots, swede puree, beetroot, and a breadcrumbed cauliflower, with gravy on top. Just wonderful and went down very well with the delicious house red. Will be back again soon, delighted with the food and friendly service. Thank you! :)

Booked inside table for 10 on a Sunday. Family occasion wanted somewhere funky and with enough space for little ones to get crayons out etc. Starters were excellent especially aricini sauce. Mains were so filling we left with doggy bags, my son cheerfully eating roast potatoes for next 24 hours.

Staff were kind, friendly and helpful

Love the food in the Gallimaufry! Mainly small plates for lunch, all delicious - would highly recommend! The inside is really quirky and cosy and there’s an outside seating area too. Definitely go visit!

Good music, lovely staff, great atmosphere 👌

It’s cool but the hip hop could have been more interesting…

Nice pub. Good outside area. Excellent Sunday roast

Really quirky and lovely atmosphere. Great for drinks and even a stage

Family Business on Sundays is the place to be!! Such a friendly but exciting place. A very frequent haunt, and one we won't be turning our back on any time soon.

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and great good. Music events are always a must!

Came here for a roast and it was very very nice, had a roast chicken and it ticked all the boxes. Chicken was delicious, gravy was nice and thick. Plenty of veg, cauli cheese was nice. Roast potatoes were crispy and soft on the inside. Service was very friendly and welcoming.

Le meilleur rôti (veggie) du dimanche que j'ai eu l'occasion de déguster ! Ambiance décontractée et service impeccable !

Just got cocktails. Used to be more impressive - the preparation and the cocktails. Passion has gone, unfortunately - very unwilling cocktail preparation. Sorry - but people come for some nice atmosphere not unhappy face of a barman and just sone drink mix - instead of a passion made cocktail

Great place to sit outside and have a pint

I had a lovely lunch with a friend at The Gallimaufry. Delicious food, super friendly staff and excellent value for money. I’ll definitely come back and also recommend it!

We arrived, got a table straight away, got served nice and quick (and was even given a coder taster from the very friendly barman). What more could you ask for

First visit to the “Gally” a few days ago for a spot of lunch and it was well worth it. Fantastic food, amazing staff and I’d love to be able to pop by in an evening they have live music on to soak up the atmosphere. Lots of space indoors and out front and a good selection of beers and ciders.

It is a place to have a beer and no more

Love it here!! Been a few times now and the gluten free food is gorgeous and feels very safe for coeliacs! The fried chicken is a must have! 😋

It was a lovely afternoon so we sat outside. Great atmosphere, lovely staff delicious food and drinks. The visit was great value for the money and we left feeling very refreshed.

My favourite local. Great beer selection, amazing food, brilliant atmosphere

Noisy boozer. Had a a nice few drinks here late Saturday evening.

Great bar with a good selection of drinks and great live music!

Nice bar, but a little pricey. For me, that is!

Wonderful food and service. Best Sunday Roast I've had in years!

Been meaning to go here for a roast for a long time, made it finally on Easter Sunday and it was AMAZING. So tasty, excellent value and very friendly service. Will definitely be back soon.

Great atmosphere and decor, really friendly staff. Oh and great cake too!

A nice and quirky pub on the hustling bustling gloucester road. The new plus is the live music every day. The food menu is well curated and very european. It gets very busy on the weekend, so the reservation is advised. Bit on the pricier side, but very well managed.

Nice place, we stopped off for a quick early evening drink after shopping and although it wasn't overly busy, there was a long queue to get served at the bar, so maybe there was a sudden rush as we arrived. They have live music in the evenings and this is apparently the place where George Ezra played before he was famous! Decor is bright and funky (is that even a word these days?) 😁

Lush food, amazing music, good vibes. The best in town

This place remains an absolute fave. I have a great time every visit. The decor is fun and warm, the team are amazing and the food is incredible. The roast here is also absolutely delicious! I actually had 2 in 2 weeks. The pork is to die for as is the beef.

Great atmosphere, decent live music scene, decent beer choices, reliable interesting delicious food in restaurant upstairs

Always a great vibe and have great non alcohol options

Reservamos mesa e assim que chegamos nossa mesa estava preparada. Recebemos o cardápio, mas demoraram uns 10min pra virem pegar nosso pedido. Pedimos dois “Roasts” (frango e porco). A comida estava simplesmente deliciosa! Amei! Tem um sabor fora de sério! Super recomendo! Na hora de ir embora também demorou um pouco para conseguir pagar, por isso tirei um estrela, mas de resto, restaurante bom demais!!!

Great bar. Great Sunday lunch. Great staff. Great ceiling!

Pretty decent place for a drink and a bite to eat

Pork belly one of the best dishes the world has ever seen!

We managed to get a last minute booking for the Sunday roast, so we were immediatley pleased to get a seat at the table. This was our first experience here but it absolutely won't be the last. Between us we had the chicken roast, the beef, the squash & lentil roast, and they very kindly accomodated a bespoke veggie roast composed of all the sides. Everything was cooked beautifully with excellent seasoning throughout (the beef brisket was my favourite - tender and packed with flavour). We also enjoyed tryng to identify the extremely delicious puree, which was a joy to eat. Pudding were equally refined, sticky date caramel pudding and teh rhubarb crumble being top picks. Generous portions, outstanding service, beutiful decor. Highly reccomended, can't wait to return and try the regular menu next time I'm in Bristol.

Cool decor and lots of good vibes from this place. Roast was delicious and the crackling on the pork belly was👌

Great music, quick service at the bar and nice decor
