“I don’t know how he remembers it all,” says the man’s friend as he goes to relieve himself in the toilet, where a scene from Pulp Fiction is framed on the wall.
The mid-19th century pub on Wells Road regularly has live music, with a poster advertising an upcoming performance by the Bristol Blue Brothers.
By the bar, a lone drinker grunts, which causes the bar woman to swiftly pull him another pint of Courage. He must come here often.
The spacious pub also includes a pool table, surrounded by comfy sofas. While potted plants are dotted between the pub’s ample tables and chairs, making it feel homely.
