The Old Duke in Bristol, City of

Cracking band on tonight. Haneys Big House, harmonica player was incredible, amazing atmosphere.

Amazing established boozer with live music.

Jazz all night 7 days a week. Love this place!

Even though it's always really busy in there, I always get served super quickly, and the people working the bar are always nice and friendly. Love going there for the live jazz, the music is always great.

Best pub in Bristol. Great atmosphere, brilliant music and friendly bar staff and clientele.

A must visit in Bristol! The 3 nights I was in Bristol I went every evening. I participated in the open mic night, listened to other performances, the bottom line is I enjoyed it tremendously. The music was great, inspiring and authentic. The people behind the bar are kind, attentive and helping. I fell in love. In love with the place, the atmosphere and a beautiful woman. Bristol hasn’t seen the last of me.

Live jazz music, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff , 5 stars

Great live jazz bar with loads of history. Very busy and friendly crowd of all ages

Always a great band and warm welcome

A local friend recommended to visit this pub. It was great. We went on a Monday night and had the pleasure to listen to The Severn Jazz Men. It was a time travel in its best way. Instead of for one drink we stayed for the whole evening. Can highly recommend.

Great jazz pub, the beers are a bit deer

Awesome street drink out side this outstanding pub. They serve booze and they serve it bloody well.

Great pub with great music all the time! Can't get a better atmosphere! Sadly only 1 ladies loo! Otherwise it would get 5 stars (but you can always roam the other establishments nearby haha)

There was a great band on, Shame the beer was mediocre at best

Awesome staff, great social vibe and loads of outdoor tables.

fantastic music, great atmosphere

We went on a Friday night and they had a brilliant band on. The place was packed. Everyone was dancing. Bar was still accessible and wait times were minimal. Lovely place.

It was all happening outside. But a nice place.

Great atmosphere , best place to do the annual sound festival

Absolutely rammed with mudic fans, but was brilliant

Went there on the night of the music festival..was bonkers but the team behind the bar coped brilliantly!!

Nice place but very rude staff Back in February 2024, the staff had changed 😀 Very good evening and very good blues concert

Really disappointed by the constant high volume music belting out from this place. We were unable to open our windows in the nearby premier inn because of it - for most of the Bank Holiday weekend. A wonderful buzz from people in the outside area, totally obliterated by the volume of the music.

Absolutely buzzing! The real ale selection was great👍🏻

Old school I preferred the music when John Stone was the Landlord

Here Sunday stop on route to Balloon Fiesta at Ashton Court country estate. Jazz playing. Famous pubs including Old Duke and Langdogger great for cider and beers.

Updated. Returned after a long hiatus, staff had all changed but they're still excellent, friendly people, willing to share in conversation and ensure their customers have a good time.

Nice pub we had a quick pint before going to the theatre.

Great pub, but I am disappointed to be turned away based on our group size of 10. We understand it's their choice, but we still thought that we could be served outside. Q

Great live music and a proper boozer

Very quiet when we went in but I would imagine that it gets very busy as it's bang in the middle of the drinking zone with lots of other pubs

I had the BEST time in here! Hope to return. Keep up the great work!!!

This pub is directly opposite the Llandoger Trow, where I had my first pint. My 2nd pint of Timothy Taylor boltmaker wasn't so good, and it was more expensive. However, they do have good music blasting out!! And it seems more popular especially in the evening when the whole area was rammed....

Good pub - especially if you want some loud, v foot tapping, danceable, jazzy swing. Good fun - no use for quiet conversations.

No food. Drinks, atmosphere, and music were all great. It has a character.

Get a cheddar valley down yer neck and some jazz in yer ears!!!

Amazing pizza , lovely staff clean pub. 10/10 would recommend

Madeleine was a gem! Sorted me and my mates out really quickly, she said she was new, (I couldn’t tell) wonderful girl!

Great place with great music and a varying selection of beverages. I did not eat anything, and I guess there is nothing to eat. Liked the place; great vibe with different music bands every day.

There are much better places in Bristol to see bands.

Fantastic atmosphere, great service, definitely recommend xx

So lovely to find the bar quiet (Monday afternoon). Young staff very friendly and happy to help. Spend a very pleasant hour.

Good selection of beers and great atmosphere outside in the sunshine.

Staff we very inattentive. I know they were busy because it was sunny. But saying hello is not a lot to ask. The member of staff behind the bar with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth was not a great look either

Can pretty much never get in there, good bands always on tho

Popped in here before heading to the airport, a live jazz band were on and were excellent. You can sit indoors or at tables outdoors, nice atmosphere and bar staff.

Lowri was amazing, she exudes warmth. Definitely ask for her. She’s soo knowledgeable on the ales and is an absolute delight

Great music but can be really busy!

One of the best pubs on King St, always live music and a great vibe

Always a great pub with a fantastic selection of beers and spirits, plus the main attraction good jazz music from proper musicians well worth a look

one of the best things about Bristol brilliant atmosphere Great pub

£16 for a beer and a single rum and coke. How can people afford to leave the house any more?!

The saltiest meal I think I’ve ever eaten. I had a burger and chips, £15 so on the pricier side for pub food. I wouldn’t eat there again unfortunately. Service and drinks were good though.

Sat outside on the picnic tables . Chose this pub out of the 3 available to get our drinks because they had the most bar staff and most convenient with normal beers

Haven't been there for a few years but still s great live music venue.

Ii didn't eat so I can't say, and to be honest I didn't drink but others j was with were and seemed happy enough. But thing this place gives in spades is atmosphere, we watched live jazz and it was superb, and I don't like jazz! Young and older people dancing together and just having a great time, perfect. Just enough space to dance, big enough bar inside, loads of seating outside and some inside but with live music (I think) every night it's not a quiet pint sort of place, get in, get a drink, and get dancing!

A classic heritage pub in the centre of Bristol. A must visit.

Fabulous!!! God bless the grand old Duke .

Good atmosphere, fun games and gluten free food. Can't ask for more 😊

Great music and great atmosphere

Lively pub with great selection of draught beer, ales and cider. In sunny days can be quite busy and loads of seating outside. Have nice music and if you are looking a place having buzzing and fun vibe this is a place to be.

A famous old pub with live music every night. Always packed with people wanting to dance, listen to music and have a good time. A brilliant way to spend an hour or two in the centre of Bristol either packed inside or spilling out to the tables outside

This is one of the most famous, and classic, pub in Bristol. Lovely and pure history. It is worth the visit.

The group visited it at night and with a concert... essential!

Live music in the evening, excellent pub

Loads of fun for a few drinks and some live music. Only had wine. As with most places on Kings St it’s expensive to drink at but always has some great live bands.

Very characteristic pub Good selection of music Great variety of beers to choose from. Live music. Perfect place to have a good time.

Lovely lovely bear good choice friendly staff good prices

Yea, nice pint of Okham Citra @4.50, welcoming.

Nice place to go for a few beers 🍻

Had a drink with a friend. Next time we will come back when the band plays. Drunk people outside, which can be annoying.

Old school Bristol pub where beer and music sing in perfect harmony... Jazz Sundays being a highlight

Great atmosphere and music. Dropped a star as the ale I had was not great.

Great music and atmosphere on Sunday afternoons

Seriously, a real gem of a pub! Love going here to meet mates and listen to jazz.

Excelente Pub muy buen ambiente y óptima atención muy recomendable si andas en Bristol en King Street una muy buena opción...

Always a great evening here. There's a good range of live music, it's always busy. The door staff and bar staff are really helpful and I have never seen it rowdy given that this is on king street. The pub hosts a good selection of drinks and snacks.

Gluten free beer available. Great music. Always very busy when a band is on.

Lovely pub.Great music.Friendly staff.

The very finest establishment in all the land.

An excellent location complemented by welcoming and sociable staff who create a friendly atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoy the vibe of this pub, making it a definite go-to whenever I'm in Bristol.

Nice pub , good service , drank on the outside tables

Superb proper pub! Live music every night. Excellent blues band when we were there. We ate before we went, so we can't comment on food, but a top night out!

Coole Location mit Livemusik....

The Old Duke from Terraria Calamity Mod😱

Went in in the middle of the afternoon just for a drink, no one else in there, not welcomed and didn't feel like anyone wanted to serve us. It did not seem very clean. Sticky table, badly stained seating. However when we walked pass in the evening it was paked and bouncing with Jazz music playing.

Loved it had great time listenimg to music

Old duke, old Rosie cider and live music every day!

The Old Duke is always a good option if you fancy a few pints and live music. The bar staff is friendly, they have good selection of spirits and ciders, although on the beer selection is quite limited. Highly recommended to visit!

Love the fact that The Old Duke has live music every night, means you can spontaneously decide to go and still have a good nice. The live music and aesthetic of the place go hand in hand making it a great place to go if you wanna hear a bit of jazz! would recommend!

Best pub with live music in town

Great pub live misic is excellent

Fantastic old school era rock and a lovely selection of cider, recommend.

Popped in for few pints Saturday afternoon with a load of lad's, place was quality, live funky jazz band playing who were brilliant, loads of tables outside, defo worth a shout, 5 or 6 pubs next door to each other 👍🍻

Proper pub, surprised I have not reviewed it before. Good beers and ciders. A pub full of character.

Absolutely outstanding 2 or 3 hours spent at the Old Duke with friends and a fine array of drinks and good music. The atmosphere was superb. I didn't eat, but I had 2 or 3 drinks, along with a few snacks from the bar. 1st time in my 70 years had I experienced the Old Duke, but for sure, there will be so many more visits.

Fun bar with indoor and outdoor seating

Brilliant small pub with live music. Lots of outdoor seating with a good vibe on a sunny evening. Def my favourite hang out in Bristol when the weather is good.

I'll always be a huge fan of this quintessential Bristol venue!

Lovely atmosphere ,vibrant and plenty of staff on a busy Friday afternoon and a nice welcome
