Old Market Tavern - Bristol, City of

Such a cosy place! Served by a lovely new guy who was so friendly and sweet : didn’t catch his name but he was Italian. Thank you

We wandered in here to get food and drink before a gig at the Trinity Centre. We weren 't expecting vegan food and are not vegan ourselves, but as it was getting late, the other pub wasn 't serving food and the bar staff were friendly, we thought we would give it a go. My husband had the 'meaty ' burger and I had nachos and chilli. Both were brilliant, really tasty. The melted cheese tasted like melted cheese and the burger was sufficiently filling. The staff were really friendly and cheerful and the pub had lovely old worldly charm. If we are in the area again we would not hesitate to return and would recommend this place to everyone, vegan or otherwise.

Visited as I was passing by on the way home and was warmly greeted by the barman and made to feel welcome straight away. The drink selection was pretty good; several whiskys, gins and beers to choose from. Though on cask it did seem like only craft and IPA was available Bristol does seem to be heavily into IPA and craft beer so I'm not surprised) so settled for a cloudy pale ale which was pleasantly refreshing. Personally would have preferred a stout or amber ale but you can't have everything your own way but the beer tasted well kept so it's a thumbs up from me. Minimum of a fiver on card £3 something for a pint of cask you can't grumble at) but the barman was more than happy to take for two pints and pour the second when I was ready. I saw a few people eating but didn't grab a menu but there's always time for that next time. Overall a very cosy, relaxing pub with good beer at a very reasonable price and a friendly atmosphere. Will definitely return

18th century pub. Good ale and reasonably priced sound food. I think meals £6.50 ish and the pies are fine, chips a little dry but ok. Cooked breakfast looks to be large and good. Friendly and efficient bar staff.

Visited the Old Market Tavern the other day for the first time and I was more than pleasantly surprised! Quite sad that I’ve only just found out about it now!! Wonderful atmosphere and beautifully decorated, this place is a little tucked away gem! We were also served by the lovely Chris who was really friendly and fun to chat to. (Also had a great flamingo shirt that I’m a big ol fan of. Will definitely be returning!
