The Grace in Bristol, City of

Really nice pub for evening drinks. The beer garden out the back is super cosy. Good drink selection and atmosphere

Never had food here but heard it is really good Maybe next time Lovely garden and great craft beer

Nice pub for a friday afternoon pint in the covered back yard. Apart from not doing decent cider ( why do most pubs in Bristol not do decent cider? C'mon it's what we're famous for! Asspalls is not decent and its not even from the west country) it reminded me of a pub i used to know called The Robin Hood?? Friendly staff and nice chilled vibe. Didn't eat anything so thats good too, a pub where you can just have a pint.

Nice roasts, dog friendly & great accessibility! Vegan options too xx

Love the cocktail deals, and lovely for drinks on other nights as well! Ask them about their thimble collection!

Not all pubs are born equal. Some have the benefit of a great location, some *are* the location, and others have that intangible quality—a vibe that goes beyond the usual. The Grace, perched confidently on Gloucester Road, is born better. It’s not just the alchemy of its positioning or the weathered brickwork. It’s the curious blend of clientele, décor, and atmosphere that creates the sort of Sunday afternoon experience you didn’t know you needed. People ebb and flow with a brisk regularity, giving the place an energy that feels as though something is always happening, yet you’re never in a rush to see what it is. The staff? They’ve mastered that fine balance of attentive without hovering, casual yet competent. You feel like they’ve got it all under control—even if you’re slightly convinced they’re having more fun than you. And let’s talk about the Guinness. It’s *excellent*—that creamy, velvety elixir that too many pubs neglect. But not here. Oh no. It’s properly poured, properly cold, and exactly as it should be. That’s not something you overlook. We didn’t come to eat, which is something I now regret. The food looked and smelled as if it had been crafted to tease every one of my senses without me ever lifting a fork. Plates wafted by with dishes that seemed to know their place—neither trying too hard nor playing it too safe. It all just… worked. There are dogs, of course. There’s laughter, the kind that feels contagious but isn’t too loud to be irritating. There are energetic people, the ones who look like they’ve just come from a run, and others who seem like they’ve never run a day in their lives, and both sets coexist perfectly. Bravo, The Grace. Even if it’s not on your beaten track, go. It’ll restore your faith in what a pub *should* be.

Nice small plates if that's what you want for the occasion. Good value and tasty. Remember, it's a pub, so service levels need to be appreciated.

Decent enough pub. Nothing out of the ordinary...

Fantastic roast (everything cooked great and beef brisket in the Yorkshire was a nice touch), really great service (managed to squeeze me in when they didn’t have to) and the pub has a good atmosphere and garden. Thanks again

I want to take a bit of time to single The Grace out as a really fantastic, welcoming place. My family has complex allergies and we arrived tired and hungry yesterday for lunch without a prior booking. The team could not have been more welcoming, nor more accommodating. A member of the front-of-house team talked us through the food options, listened to our needs and explained how they would handle things. The result was one of the best Sunday lunches we've ever had - really outstanding food, great drinks, lovely atmosphere and a real sense of confidence and assurance that we were in good hands. We'll definitely be going back and if you're in the area, I can't recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experiance, a bit more expensive than most in the area but great experiance

Excellent service front of house. Polite and attentive staff on a very busy Saturday night. Seated outside in the garden area. Lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious. We were a table of 4 and ordered 4 snacks and 9 small plates. Lots of food for us all to share We particularly enjoyed the scallops, the cod and the duck. Perfect balance of fish, meat and vegetarian options on the menu. Highly recommend The Grace and we will be returning

Have eaten at the Grace a few times, the food there is utterly delicious, all the small plates are worth trying! Lovely garden too. Not traditional pub food, this is actually really innovative cooking. Would recommend it!

Very lovely Sunday lunch . I had the veggie option and it was great, very tasty 😋.

Lovely pub, gets a little crowded on a Friday night. Good sized beer garden which is very pleasant. Decent selection of beers and all the staff are fab.

We had a fab meal here and so impressed with the food! Superb! Friendly service and a nice atmosphere too. I would definitely recommend it.

Had planned to stop in for a quick drink or two, and ended up getting thrown out at closing. Cute garden area, which served us well on a sunny day. Good selection of drinks and the staff were friendly

Spectacular roast dinner. Wonderful fresh vegetables, meat cooked to perfection. Bloody Mary was fabulous 10/10

Great atmosphere in this boozer with quick fantastic service

Simply one of the best Sunday Roasts I’ve had. Tender and beautifully cooked beef with accompanying crispy roast potatoes and light Yorkshire pudding. All veg was perfectly cooked especially the cauliflower cheese. It was all so tasty. Finished off with an amazing panna cotta and buttery shortcake biscuit. Excellent and friendly service. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Really enjoyed the evening. It was for a special occasion with friends. Lovely food and drink, great service and a nice casual but not sloppy vibe. Would visit again.

We had a lovely family meal, food and service was excellent.

Delicious food, attentive service. Very pleasant garden with no music. Lovely.

Enjoyed some wonderful food and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Service was excellent throughout. (shoutout to Nell)

Came here with a few mates, food was out of this world and the staff were lovely!

Excellent food and service. We hadn’t booked but went in on a Saturday evening and the staff found us a lovely table for 4. Really nice atmosphere. Food was amazing. Menu was perfect, lots of little dishes so perfect to share with friends over a few drinks. Staff were knowledgeable and able to recommend dishes. Can’t wait to go back!

Not a bad place, like the almond croissants but bit pricey for what it is. Average nearly £5 for a loaf of bread 😳

Nice big pub, without the classic damp smell, with a big courtyard at the back. Very kind service and varieties of drinks and beers. I would happily go again.

A lovely pub with great food options. Lots of comfortable tables inside and a great garden with lots of heated tables. A wonderful place to enjoy time with friends, drink good wine and beer and celebrate tasty food.

Lovely staff, good pub for drinks but food... Tasty, although the portions are TINY for the price. The cheeseboard is literally 3 pieces of cheese... Tiny plates. Recommend getting crisps if you want to snack and would definitely bail on anything from the menu if you're hungry.

Best Sunday lunch and really friendly staff. Can't wait to visit again would recommend especially for couples or small groups

Was really looking forward to the roast after the great reviews, sadly that was not the case. Paid £18 each for two roast beef, both came with 2 slices of dry roast beef. The potatoes were very nice, crispy and tasty. However, the sides, carrots and parsnips both raw and gravy that tasted like water. The service was great but roast was extremely disappointing

A beautiful space with a solid playlist, helpful staff and an excellent roast. The Cauliflower cheese was the cheesiest i’ve had in Bristol so far, and i’ve had quite a few!

Nice cosy pub with excellent bar staff and good Mon/Tues January offers!

Booked the Grace for a work Christmas do, having never been before and the service from start to finish was flawless. From the moment I booked with deposits they were so helpful and then the level of good service continued when we had the meal itself. The mulled wine was the best I've had, the 3 course meal was delicious - couldn't fault it and then the Christmas cocktail was the cherry on top! Staff were very friendly and professional - felt very looked after the whole evening. Pub itself had a cosy and warm vibe and I'll definitely be back for a date night. Would highly recommend this little gem on Gloucester rd! Thank you!

The food was awful, the steak was so tough that it was inedible. There was a very small menu choice and given the portion size the food was expensive. The place was cold as the door was left open by the smokers. Would not visit again.

We had our Christmas meal there. The food was great, the service relaxed but efficient and they dealt with allergies (garlic and onion) without fuss. We had great fun and thought it was great value for money. Thanks again.

Very unwelcoming and unfriendly response from barman Will having waited at the unattended bar for more than 5 minutes. Joining my family who had arrived before me, they reported exactly the same from the barman. Won’t return. A very friendly and customer focused company pub is just opposite.

The food here was absolutely delicious. Truly fantastic. The service was a little slow but really friendly and the establishment is very nice.

Found this pub by chance - really pleased with the service and range of beers. We'll definitely come back!

Popped in here the other day just for a quick drink to unwind. Was really hoping to get my hands on that local gin I’ve been loving lately, but turns out they didn’t have it in stock. Bit of a bummer, but no biggie. The atmosphere of the place was quite nice, not too loud, just right for a chill evening. Service was definitely a highlight - the staff were super friendly and quick. Even though they didn’t have the gin, they recommended a couple of other drinks we might like for next time. We ended up staying longer than planned, just because it was so relaxed and the vibe was good. They had a nice selection of snacks too, which we didn’t try this time but looked tempting. We’ll probably come back to give them a go and who knows, maybe they’ll have that gin by then!

We celebrated a 40th birthday here, Will and Chris were very flexible and happy to accommodate a big group of people. Great selection of beers and lovely appetisers, everyone was well impressed. Thank you!

A good sized and long-established pub on the popular Gloucester Road strip, we were booked in for Sunday lunch, and found it was still full to capacity even for our 3:00pm sitting, which created a buzzy, if slightly noisy, atmosphere. I opted for the Pork Belly, with a pig in blanket, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. It was just the one pig in blanket, not the more usual pigs, but then it was also a full size sausage, not the usual miniatures! Whenever I’ve had this before it’s been served as a single, oblong section of meat. Here it was quite long and thin, with bone running down the middle, and to be honest I would really have known it was pork belly, it certainly wasn’t what I was expecting. There was some separate crackling, but this had been swamped with gravy, whereas surely that should be kept dry? The potatoes tasted a little stale, as though they had been hanging around for a while, although the accompanying vegetables were very good, being a decent selection and a good amount of flavour to them. We would have had cauliflower cheese on the side, but apparently this was off due to a “technical issue”. Overall, I was a little disappointed with this. It’s a nice pub, and the staff were all friendly and helpful, but I’ve certainly had better Sunday lunches elsewhere.

Average food and average drinks.

Arrivato su consiglio di locals perché stavo cercando una Timothy Taylors Landlord in cask, e il publican ha attaccato il cask apposta per noi siccome ha capito che eravamo lì apposta! Personale davvero davvero gentile e genuinamente simpatico, il publican è stato il migliore incontrato in questo viaggio, tutto il tempo al banco a dissetare la nostra sete di birra e soprattutto di cultura birraia. Un grande.

Been using this pub for years. Lovely pub, staff, ale and food. For me their customer service is first class. Their flexibility around the showing of big TV events is amazing. It's never too much trouble and they always go out of their way to accommodate my request. Always friendly, a few laughs and going the extra mile to make your visit special. Can't recommend enough. Will be back again and again. Thank you for all that you all do.

Quick lunch from the tasty small plates menu. It’s good stuff. Great garden out the back

Delicious food friendly service

Great place and atmosphere... even more important, wonderful staff!

Great range of beers and drinks, Great staff, Great atmosphere

We had a great lunch with a brilliant range of small plates, particularly good for gluten free. Great atmosphere and service. Thanks

Excellent service from friendly and helpful team. Beautifully cooked and presented dishes with some creative and tasty combinations in the 'Iittle plates' section of the menu. Don't miss the triple cooked chunks on the side, they're lovely. The Grace catered effortlessly with a table of 9 that included a mix of vegetarians, vegans and a coeliac. Went out of their way to ensure everyone was happy with their meal choices and had a good choice of vegan wine for those who wanted it too. Everyone very impressed, had a great evening, thank you!

Had a great time here.. bar staff was great and could whistle up some tasty cocktails..beer garden is lovely

Great atmosphere with lovely beer garden

Great selection of beers haven't had a chance to try the food yet

A very relaxed place serving delicious ,piping hot , Sunday lunches.

Menu may appear slightly unusual at first glance but always very tasty and great staff. Feb 5th 2022 just popped in for another lunch today and the food is still amazing, thanks to everyone in the kitchen for all their hard work. A lovely venue with a great outside space to boot and Dog friendly. Quality food in a relaxed nice pub atmosphere

Decent bar, bar staff are really friendly. Came here for a roast as well with a friend, food was amazing, the roast really lived up to the hype. Gravy, Yorkshire pudding with pulled beef was really tasty. The cauliflower cheese is probably the best I've had in Bristol. Only criticism was the roast potatoes, they weren't as fluffy and tasty on the inside as I would have liked. But all in all, it was a superb roast. Drink choices are vast and the prices are good value. Outside seating is well maintained and comfortable.

Great pub in the heart of Gloucester Road with a nice beer garden out the back and Dog friendly

Loved the style of sharing food, delicious! Service was great too. Definitely coming back… Only downside was the acoustics made the section we hired quite unbearably noisy.

Best Sunday roast on Gloucester Road. Excellent food.

Great little restaurant inside a traditional pub. It's a strange setup but works with premium tasty cocktails. Food suitable for Vegans as well as meat eaters. I especially liked the way they worked with allergies marking up the actual menu

Superb food. Friendly service. Great location. Try it.dont get put off by sharing plates.. try it.

A good pub with a nice drinking area outside.

Fantastic food fab service- Sunday lunch to die for

Back in the Grace for yet another fabulous evening. Food was again superb - lots of different dishes and each one was lush. Lovely service and the (last) plum and raspberry meringue was to die for. We are very lucky to have it as our local 😍😍

Great atmosphere. Great humour from food guy! Worth a visit.

After being told by staff that it was empty and therefore no problem to order food as a walk in..surprise surprise, I encountered the doom monger front of house. Obviously food would now not be served. Missed it by a second apparently- kitchen closed in an hour’s time though. It’s my fourth encounter with their hostile front of house; hence the review..I’m not one to play the race card, but it has been odd.. So rude it’s palpable. It’s hard not to take it personally as it’s happened time and time again eg; (no food yet they serve food to other people the last time we were there)..it was embarrassing as we had to ask how they got their food as they had no reservation and arrived after us. Ffs Hope you read this Chris as the owner; we’re pretty local.. Do better

Very good food & staff are amazing happy bubbly place to go ☆

Amazing! The staff were lovely and the food is spectacular. You *have* to get the Korean duck wings (actually legs, I think) and don't share 'em or you'll regret it.

Good location for meeting friends, whilst I didn't eat on this occasion the garden to the rear looked great in the fine weather.

Great and friendly bar staff, will come again for sure 👌

The food was excellent, I had the beef and it was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were perfect and the cauliflower cheese was the the best ! Dessert was Summer akin to an Erin Mess and again the only problem was that I did not have enough room for a second helping. The Staff were attentive but not annoying in any way. Pleasantly surprised to have a new carafe of tap water provided without needing to ask. We were in the middle section that opened up to the garden. This allowed fresh air to circulate, it is VERY hot today so this was an ideal compromise. Should I have chance to eat here again I will not hesitate !

Great Sunday roast. Good range of meat and a vegetarian option. Huge portions. Fantastic Cauli cheese. Lovely staff

Great night out for a company summer evening!

Nice garden but very frosty atmosphere

Delicious food - lots of tapas to choose from. Excellent care taken of people who are gluten free.

Really nice lunch Sunny courtyard garden Friendly and efficient service Very nice food

Staff are lovely and I could eat the Sunday lunch every day and die happy. My picky friend said "finally someone who does vegetables properly"

Brilliant service, best Bloody Mary in Bristol and sensational food. It was a busy sunny day and the staff were fantastic

Sensational. Busy busy busy with noisy drinkers but what did I expect for a Saturday summer nights beer garden. Great location but the highlight has to be the brilliant menu and service. Every dish we had was brilliant. Enjoyed our food so much I forgot to take decent photos.

Really great food, staff were amazingly polite and attentive, my partner and I felt welcomed and really enjoyed our meal and drinks!!

Spot on! Manager top bloke, wicked food, decent price, staff well helpful and looked like they enjoyed their job. I say that because the service was spot on also. Will be going back, probably a few times again!!!

Excellent pub with friendly welcoming staff. Food is always good but the menu doesn't change often enough. Service is top notch and all requests are treated with respect.

Great pub, lovely pub garden. Family orientated.

Friendly staff great atmosphere but most of all grade A food and service

Great pub, has a perfect out of the way beer garden and really nice staff.

Me and my partner had a grace (great) Sunday roast here. Good portions, make sure you get the cauliflower cheese. Great vibing in the beer garden afterwards too.

Small portions and expensive. Charge gratuity even though no drink service. Not likely to go again.

Really lovely bar/pub/restaurant. The staff are lovely, funny and friendly. We had snacks and drinks. The menu is very good, with a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Good choice of beers, wines and spirits. The staff were knowledgeable about the drinks and menu. Nice beer garden, kid and dog friendly.

Lovely pub in beautiful Bishopston

What a great atmosphere and a tasty sharing menu. We will certainly visit again. Thank you.

Great food & charming front of house.

Good varied menu served with great beer/wine by engaging, helpful staff. Go early in the week or in the day as easier to get table without reservation. We'll be back (early!)

Absolutely first class Sunday roast. I had the beef, my wife had the chicken; both were succulent and, like the varied and variously treated vegetables, full of flavour. The gravy was inexpressibly rich and delicious, the cauli cheese the best and tastiest I've had. Definitely going back to try their weekday menu! Lovely mixed-age ambience and they serve good well-kept ale too. Highly recommended.

Just had the best meal of our holiday

Had a fantastic lunch at The Grace. Food + wine reasonably priced, absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly, welcoming and added to the general calm feel of the pub. Would absolutely go back.

Always nice to have dinner here - nice atmosphere, service is always friendly and food is always great. We went for the Korean duck wings, sweet and sour aubergine, crown Prince squash ravioli and grilled hispi cabbage - all full of flavour. House red was nice too.

Cracking roast, and a great bloody Mary to boot

Excellent Sunday roast and not ludicrously expensive.
