The Alma Tavern Theatre

I have been coming here regularly for over a year and in a city with plenty of great pubs this is a standout. Great atmosphere; friendly staff and locals; good range of beers and drinks and food; and always plenty going on with live music and quizzes regular parts of the calendar. As a bonus there is of course a small theatre upstairs with a constant stream of performances. The outside seating, both front and back, makes this a great warm weather destination. Even if I didn’t live nearby I would happily travel to visit the Alma. Tip get the Black Pudding Croquettes while they are still on menu, these are perfect with a pint!

Big pub tucked away in Clifton. Friendly staff. Seats out back and on the street. Two real ales (Arbor and Butcombe) but no local cider as is common in most Bristol pubs. Delicious halibut with lentils and gnocchi. Great tiny little theatre to enjoy with 25% of food bill if you have tickets. The post theatre iced water was very welcome on a hot night at the show. Slight issue with the food order but they recovered well. A good spot for drinks food and theatre.

I was completely impressed by the quality of the food at this restaurant. The Frito Mistio was the best I've had outside of Italy. The onglet steak was excellent, and the chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream was superb. They also had a great Neckoil beer. I would love to keep this place a secret, but I just have to share my amazing experience.

It's 3:30 in the afternoon and Carol and I just finished a fantastic sirloin Sunday lunch with plenty of side dishes. The atmosphere was great, with a lot of friendly people enjoying their meals. Definitely the best experience!
