myol'man Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Another summer topic to while away the time; I noticed the Wedlocks and Ship and Castle get a mention on the pre-match drinking thread and got me thinking of other boozers that have disappeared. I'll kick off with The Enterprise. Massive pub on Hartcliffe Way, just up the road from Parson Street station. Used to have live bands and a late licence on a Friday and Saturday night. Stop off point for the Westers on the way to Ashton Gate. Usually ended up in late night brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotham Brow Red Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Red Cow - not the friendliest but was on a slow death for years. White Horse - friendly landlord great jazzband on Tuesdays now bleeding flats. Albert (ok open but not the same) - used to be best pub south of the river in 90s. Great music lots of album sleeves everywhere. I miss the old Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy Mahal Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 sadly too many to mention although the one I miss the most is the Royal Oak in portishead, sadly now a tesco metro That's right by me and it's practically always empty.

Kid in the Riot Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The Felly on Filton Avenue. City pub in supposed gas heartland. Closer to The Mem than one of their 'main' boozers The Bulldog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 sadly too many to mention although the one I miss the most is the Royal Oak in portishead, sadly now a tesco metro Really sad that. 1990 was the best year of my life and that pub played a major part. I sometimes revisit the old haunts in Posset, but steer clear of West Hill as I couldn't bear to see it gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The Queens Head in Willsbridge. Got my first pint in there at the tender age of 15. Utter shithole and despite a string of landlords with big ideas, they could never get past the planning constraints of a listed building. The very rules meant to protect the character of the place eventually lead to its downfall. Currently being a converted into a house, and one of the oldest pubs in the Bristol area lost forever.

BS4 on Tour... Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The White Hart and the Holly Bush in Brislington. The former is now a dance school (!) and the latter is now flats.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 The Progress on Westbury Lane turned into a nursery. Like most people in the area I was guilty of not using it enough and now it's gone I really miss having a pub like that in Coombe Dingle. Real shame. Also, I miss Bar Med on Welsh Back. Always used to meet up there with mates early on Saturday evenings before heading into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 What was the pub at the top of Redcatch Hill that's now a Tescos?
