The Rising Sun in Bristol, City of

I had a joint birthday party at the Rising Sun in March and I can't recommend it more! The staff are so lovely, the pub is so cosy and welcoming and they gave us an entire area out the back that can accommodate 40 people for free with no minimum spend! We were able to play our own music and service at the bar was quick and easy. They can cater for you too if you want (we didn't take this offer up but it was well priced). Highly recommend you go, it's a beautiful pub anyway but so great as a venue for a special occasion. Thank you!! Lou (and Phoebs) :)

Great place, my favourite pub in Bristol. Lots of gluten free beers too. Nice staff good prices tidy.

Very cute pub. Was giving the cosy Christmas vibes

Amazing local pub with lovely beers and a good vibe :)

Wonderful experience celebrating my birthday at this venue. Very friendly staff and great attention to detail. I'll be back.

Great variety of beers from local brewers. Tons of spirits. Nice locals and charming staff. After work sun downers, next to the park with amazing views.

Always a great selection of beers, chilled vibes. A great neighbourhood pub

We have just hired the small area at the back for a celebration of life (memorial). The team were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. The only issue was paying for a PA and it wasn't ready on arrival but no big deal.

The guys did a truly excellent job of providing a venue for a wake/celebration of life. Great covered outdoor space away from the bar area. Attentive and friendly service behind the bar. Brilliant buffet. Helped make what could have been a dour experience into a positive one. Thanks very much.

Friendly local pub. Great spot for a beer with a good Bristol beer range. Very dog friendly.

This is a pleasant pub with the now familiar 'Shabby Chic' look. A nice greeting from the bar staff and what looked to be a good range of beers and spirits on hand. The reason I have marked it down on the atmosphere is because during our time there, a group of 'regulars had a takeaway curry delivered, which they ate at the table opposite, something I assume was sanctioned by the owners? Very strange and for me inappropriate.

Lots of interesting craft beer and real ale, great atmosphere, traditional decor and friendly staff. Excellent neighbourhood pub and highly recommended. Well worth the walk to the hill!

Wonderful neighbourhood Pub. Entertainment and good service. Friendly atmosphere.

Always a great selection of beers on tap. Good atmosphere and good prices.

Held my 40th here. Lovely pub with good selection of beers. Staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful. Thanks guys!

Lovely pub with a great range of local beers. Highly recommend trying it out 🍻

Excellent service good larger will use again

A solid pub with a good drink and crisp selection. Not the most welcoming of staff.

It is a solid pub if you're in the area. Would recommend stopping in for a drink

Its actually a rather nice pub now days considering it use to be an absolute toilet! Real "you ain't from around here boy" style not the cheapest but generally rather friendly

Always a good time. Great little boozer.

Came here for a few drinks, the landlady Libby was amazing!!

A pleasant relaxed place for a drink and some local character(s).

Great little local pub with a good selection of draft beers!

Great staff. Enjoying the vibe since it's reopened under new management. Added a few photos of the pub mascot, who can often be seen lurking by the bar seeking attention.

This place is a hidden gem tucked away up Windmill Hill... An amazing range of beers served by a very hospitable bar keep. I shall return!

one of the best pus in Bristol.

Good beer, friendly Landlord a proper pub.

Very cool place with friendly staff, good prices and beers, massive garden

Love love love love this pub. Top 5 in Bristol, the staff are amazing and the drink selection is always fabulous! A firm favourite.

Great local pub. Good beer selection

Surpringly large garden out the back plus some good outdoor seating out front. Good beer selection and both the weekday menu and roasts are great. Lucky to have it as a local 🙂

Good bar with friendly staff. Sunny courtyard at the back is a good stop for an afternoon pint. Decent beer selection both on tap and bottled too.

Lovely pub, really nice staff and a big beer garden to boot. Excellent selection of lagers and local beers

It's a nice pub, but the food was awful. I hope they can get their act together.

Friendly pub, and food selection.

Food was so good! Freshly made and tasty. Will be back to try the breakfast! Love music and good beer!

Great band great beer nice and chilled atmosphere

I attended a private function, children's party. Interior is a little tired garden needs a tidy. But the kids didn't notice. Staff friendly.

Good beer and staff, toilets last time I went there were abysmal , hopefully it will improve soon

Very child friendly, great beers (lots of Arbor at time of visit) + live music! Not very large but that wasn't a problem. Serves toasties for food.

Nice decor, welcoming, good beer, lots of live music and other events.

Great pub, good beers friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

Very friendly, good music ,could do with a bit of health and safety out the back, loose bricks ect

Home to the best and sexiest bar man in Bristol, come down and see Nathan

Lovely little local pub! Great music and events!

Good well kept beers and Craft ales on tap..£5 A pint for some but you know when you take the first sup where the extra £1.50 went. Better Atmosphere than the Windmill and better beer.

Great choice of ales and lovely bar keep. Nice secluded outdoor seating, illuminated at night

Not a real pub. Another good pub turned into a gentrified dive for middle class bores who couldn't hack it in London. It's more crèche than pub now, a safe space to take Tarquin and Felicia without any of those ghastly working class "povos" in sight. Now they can talk about the important things in life in safety, such as house prices, banksy and of course London, all while sipping their daily lattes or overpriced overhoped "artisanal" ale.

A 'real' pub and yet child friendly. Great beer, great coffee and great cake, with fantastic service. Highly recommend.

Community pub. Good beers and cider. Well stocked bar and good DJ playing tamla and soul when we were there.

Great pub with high quality open mic on Thurs.

Great selection of cask ales, friendly staff, brilliant open mic night every Thursday and top live music in a great location next to a park and a lovely beer garden out back. Since it's re-opening this place just keeps getting better and better!

Lovely local pub nestled in Windmill Hill

New community pub - give it a go!

Best pub I've ever been in!! Sooo friendly, got free drinks all night, a cooked dinner and then taken home by a beautiful young lady who demanded sex all night. I'll certainly be visiting again, such a great pub with lovely people... amazing!!!

Execellant local boozer community driven recently been refurnished

Execellant tradional family pub with good prices and friendly customers and staff. Very welcoming
