70 /100 ARCH 23, OXFORD STREET
“Your now trad railways arches craft set up. The booths look like they could be a DIY set up. 4 of their own beers (had not had one before) plus a couple of guests which were not new to me. At around 16:00 on a Tuesday it started to get busier, with the majority of people sat outside as it was a nice day. Nice enough little set up. Near to the station so can't really go wrong.“

“This is a brewery tap under a railway arch just round from Bristol Temple Meads Station. Easy to find there is outside seating, not wise on a cold January afternoon. Inside it is just warm enough, lots of seating around with the bar at the far end. Mostly their own beers on tap but a couple of guests. Glad I visited although not sure it would be a regular.“

68 /100 ARCH 23, OXFORD STREET
“Visited on Friday 6th October 2023 around 2100 just after checking into the nearby IBIS. Located around a 5 minute walk to the North/East of Temple Meads station and set inside a railway arch with a clean and modern feel about it. 6 taps on offer with just 3 of their own brews available. The place was doing a decent trade with 30 to 35 people sat at the wooden bench tables and a few outside but we managed to find a table okay. Prompt and friendly service, the guests were okay ... an Arbor, a Pollys brew and something else. Their own beers were fine if no wow offered ... think 3.3/4 type rates. Overall not a go to destination but if you arrive or depart Bristol via Temple Meads station it's well worth the 5 minute detour.“

72 /100 ARCH 23, OXFORD STREET
“Visited 6/4/2022. Railway arch setting, 5 minutes walk from side exit of BTM station offering 8 beers, 3 of their own. Comfortably busy when we visited at 4pm on a Wednesday which was good to see. Spent a good hour there trying each of their own beers (available as halves) before catching train back to Bath. Will go back again. Update: did go there again next day as on first visit my wife left her scarf behind. Another quick half had to be done in appreciation of then safely storing it for her.“

“New brewery & taproom a brisk 5 minute walk from the side exit of Temple Meads railway station. Situated within a railway arch, taproom at the front with the brewery at the rear. Outside and inside seating. There were 5 beers on tap pouring yesterday, two of the brewery's own plus three guests. No food offering that I could see but there is a pasty shop next door.“

“Visited on 25th September 2021. Nice locals backstreet boozer less than 10 mins walk away from Temple Meads. Single room with central bar, large garden to rear and seating out front. Decor is a nice mix of trad and modern. 8 handfuls and keg fonts plus a few cans in the fridge. A mix of Bristol locals plus a couple of ciders. Food is burgers and small plates and was delicious. Prices decent. Friendly staff. Nice spot.“

“Taproom within the brewery building, a 30 minute walk from Temple Meads railway station. Always a nice welcome here. 6 to 8 of the breweries beers usually on tap, plus occasional guest beers. Can for takeaway too. It's a nice suntrap out front in the summer, and food trucks are usually on site when the taproom is open.“

“Small to medium sized pub outside of city center, not far from the Moor brewery. Classic modern pub interior, there is a nice small patio in the back. 10 kegs and 8 casks, all seemed like local beers, no usual suspects. Good ranges of styles. Worth checking out.“

“Long bar in a narrow room with some tables outside. We've visited in the afternoon and place was half full. Good selection of their own beers, something like 10 taps. Couple of them I haven't seen that much, but mostly the usual stuff you see around. OK for a short stop, not sure I'd revisit.“

“Visited the 2nd November 2019 - Nice beer place in a modern building near to the city river path. Good atmosphere, good beer selection, pizza available. Beer for a good price, take care because this place can be really very overcrowded and noisy. Recommended.“

“To me this was not a great place for a pint. Very small taproom. I wanted to pay by card and they have a limit of five pounds which is fine if you are with more than 1 person. “

“A big modern 'Spoons by Temple Meads station. Fairly busy when we visited but service was quick and helpful enough. Not particularly interesting on the beer range but like any of them, always a safe bet to get something cheap and potentially tickable on cask.“

“Basically one smallish long room at the front of the brewery. It's pretty basic and minimal but offers a decent selection of their beers on tap. Dead quiet when we visited a little after opening time until a big brewery tour crowd appeared out of what appeared to be the toilets! The guys working there were super-efficient through and got through serving the crowd in no time at all. Definitely worth a visit.“

“One room metallic bar, afront the brewery building. Great selection of Moor beers on tap, plus loads of their cans. No surprises there I suppose! Prices were really good I thought. Well worth a visit, especially when combined with the Barley Mow.“

“Great pub, which was abt a 15 min walk from the Megabus drop off, though I could have picked a more direct route. Perfect for a sunny day, with seats in front and behind. Loads of beer choices on cask and keg, with plenty of tempting Bristolian choices. Not far from Moor Tap too.“

“Visited during the East Bristol Brewery Trail (6th May 2018). Nice modern taproom on the side of the brewery with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. Many of Moor's beers on tap, I think around 10, with plenty of cans in the fridges to take away, soft drinks also available. Space for food trucks outside which I understand are a regular feature. The place was packed with people for this event, staff were really friendly, great atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd be happy to visit again.“

“Visited here during the East Bristol Brewery Trail (6th May 2018). Located on an industrial estate it has a small indoor bar with tables and chairs in the outside space (not sure if always there or just for this event). It was extremely crowded due to this event being on. Beers served were all their own, there was also a decent selection of their recent canned releases available to buy. Staff were friendly and quick to serve despite the unusually large number of people there.“

“This is a large, open theatre bar in the Old Market part of town, which seems to be popular with the LBGT community. There are cafe's and small artisan shops around but this appears to be the best bet for beer just in this area. It is light and open due to a rather magnificent skylight. It is a theatre with a stage in the bar then an open kitchen. There is a bakery next door which seems to be part of the same place. Too late to do anything with I noticed a lovely roof terrace, which I will definitely give a try next time. 5 Hand pumps on show, all used. Worth a look.“

“Traditional pub with excellent beer to the east of Temple Meads train station. While the Barley Mow is operated by Bristol Beer Factory, there is plenty of space give to other brewers, both local (Lost & Grounded, Left Handed Giant, Wiper & True, Moor) and farther afield (Siren, Redchurch). There's about 8 cask and 10 keg, and the bottle list is worth a look as well (among the more ubiquitous beers lie some weird and wonderful discoveries). It's not really close to anything, but it's a 5-minute walk from the Moor Brewery Tap so makes a tidy little mini pub crawl. Worth seeking out.“

“Comprehensive tap for the excellent Moor Brewery. It's a bit loud and uncomfortable, but of course you're here for the beer with the atmosphere coming second. The best of the Moor lineup is here along with some rarer beers in keg and can/bottle. Most of the offerings are lower ABV, although you have the chance to stock up on various vintages of Fusion.“

“A cozy little pub walking distance from Castle Park. Friendly bartender and a nice selection of beers. The food looked wonderful, but alas, at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, the kitchen was closed and we were forced down the street for dinner. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Worth a visit.“

“Modern rectangular taproom tacked on to the side of the brewery. Around 10 keg plus 2 cask beers on offer most times. Occasional guest beers but mostly the brewery’s own fare which is excellent. There are benches to sit outside when the weather is decent. Regular food pop ups are hosted at the taproom. Definitely worth a visit“

Friendly welcome... VERY KID friendly with outdoor games and chalks for mucking around on the concrete with... Brewery going in next door...“

3.1 PAINTWORKS, BATH ROAD
“Looks like a lightly converted workshop, probably because it is. Serves the Paintworks new-small-industries estate, which is full of creatives. Down a slip road off Bath Road and only 10 minutes’ walk from Temple Meads station, so an easy evening venue. Very new Bristol. Three ales on cask, a dozen decent imports and as many UK craft beers. Only Incredible from Bristol currently. Excellent coffee and interesting if someone intrusive music. Food has got awards.“

“Small pub located outside typical pub crawlers route, used mostly by locals. Friday evenings packed with employees from nearby offices. Only 5 minutes walk from Temple Meads station, 3 minutes walk from Moor brewery. Also Left Handed Giant and Good Chemistery breweries are in the area. Nice selection of beers: traditional ales, modern IPA’s, porters, stouts, ciders: 10 taps + 8 pumps. Special events bring very interesting beers e.g. bocks, weizenbocks, schwartzbiers during German week in September/October. Also there is a nice selection of bottled beers from UK, USA, Germany and Belgium. Food is available and it’s amazing. Staff is very friendly and always happy to help and advise. There is a little patio and a few tables in the front of the pub. Wifi available. Almost perfect, except a bit untidy gents loo :(“

“A traditional-modern, medium sized pub with dark wooden interiors being the main outlet for Bristol Beer Factory. The beer menu is listed on a blackboard in front of the bar, and contains eight cask ales and ten on keg in addition to a large bottled menu including Lervig beers. Sandwich options, I had a tasty one with Goat Cheese. Polite service. Reggae music in the back at our stay. Close to Moor Tap Room and not more than ten minutes walk from Temple Meads train station. (Visited with Finn 29.04.2017).“

“Corner building close to a busy traffic road. The building contains the brewery and a modern, airy, oval tap room and a beer garden with barbecue options. Good selection of their own beers on cans, bottles and keg. Some of their older fusion brews can be bought here. Friendly service. Very popular early on a Saturday afternoon. The Clash punkrock music during our stay was very, very satisfying and made us drink even moor beers. (Visited with Finn, East Bristol Brewery Trail 29.04.2017).“
