We are spoilt

Ooh, also, if you are feeling a bit arty farty, and like some different beers, try the Watershed, a fab little media/arts/conema complex on the waterfront- they even seel Festie Strength Brothers. Many a night, I have started and ended in there!

Yep, or the river

You ever seen the house band play?

Had many an amazing night listening to them doing cover songs better than the real acts!!!

Is it the one by the harbour?

If so, its about a mile from the Bus station mate. Can walk through the centre, so no problems in getting to the station. Very easy walk.

aye think thats it, yeah that sounds easy done as long as wake up early and no home-alone style dash to the bus station for bus. Will be looking round Bristol tomorrow anyway so should find the route grand

Not sure if you are into Banksy, or curious, but I would say check out the exhibition he has done in the museum. Its on the top of Park street and a really easy walk from your lodgings. Its free, so no harm done!

Have fun!

About 200 people in the queue up there yesterday at 3pm, when the last entry was at 4pm! Am going to leave it a few weeks before I venture inside I reckon!

[papeman]

I managed to get into the opening night and afterparty!

You should have seen everyone looking around. You knew they were trying to put the name Banksy to a face. (He was present supposedly)

[papeman]

Ah, skills! Mr Eavis was there, was he not?

Aye, i was there. Great day, although having to go to the academy put a dampner on things!

[DaveMac]

I would like to contest that claim clockworkpurple!!!

The world famous Exhibition cider at the Corrie tap. Only allowed to sell it in half pints. Says it all!

Failing that, The Apple

Although the Apple is a boat, not a pub as such....

[clockworkpurple]

Isn't the Academy just awful - not a nice venue and the sound has always been terrible everytime i've gone

[Bexxxxx]

Their 'food' menu always makes me laugh - only has three options and nothing which could really be described as food. Can't remember exactly what they were, but I think Pringles was one of 'em.... Maybe 'snack menu' would be more appropriate

If you want a Bristol cider pub complete with 'characters' there can be only one:
