The Crown Bar And Venue

Great pub with good vibes and amazing food. I had a Sunday Roast there today and it was one of the best roasts I’ve had in Bristol! Very big portions and delicious food. I highly recommend trying it out. Staff was lovely. Would 100% recommend.

I recently visited The Crown Pub in St. Nicholas Market, Bristol, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of disappointing. My friends and I went there with hopes of having a good time, but unfortunately, that was not the case.

We were enjoying our evening, before a rather unpleasant incident unfolded. We were all just sitting together, minding our own business. It was evident that there was some sort of issue, with the empty seats we had taken from another group and the matter was brought to the attention of the bar manager by a member of their group.

What followed left us utterly dismayed. We were asked to leave the premises, and it was deeply disheartening to see our evening take such a turn. It felt like discrimination was at play as two of us are of Indian descent. This incident truly made us question the ethos and inclusivity of The Crown Pub.

I believe that every establishment should strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for all patrons, regardless of their background. Sadly, this experience has made me rethink ever returning to The Crown Pub. Discrimination has no place in any setting, let alone a place that should be synonymous with good times and camaraderie.

In light of my experience, I can only rate The Crown Pub with 1 star. It's a reflection of the disappointing encounter I had during what was meant to be an enjoyable evening out.

I love this place - it’s a gem in the heart of Bristol and always a great atmosphere. They’ve just started doing roasts on a Sunday and I tried their 3D printed “beef” option - it was amazing, plus the best Yorkshire puddings everrrrrr.

Was a really great roast! Never had food here before but had the 3D printed plant based beef roast and it was delicious. Lovely chilled vibe in the day with good, well priced drinks and friendly staff.

Decent city centre boozer. Fairly priced booze. Great music. Friendly crowd.
Annoyingly we were served drink in plastic glasses from 10.30 p.m. I felt no more inclined to assault somebody with a glass post 10.30 than I did pre 10.30.

Went here on a Sunday night for late drinks as a lot of other places had closed. They had a karaoke night and everyone seemed to be enjoying it. The place was rough and ready in my opinion but I just went with it. The place was packed inside and outside. Although the bar was busy, i seemed to get served with little problem but I didn't like the plastic glasses but understood why they used them. It was open until 3am on a Sunday night!

Really old pub. Nearly 300 years old. You get used to the smell quite quickly, so don't leave straight away like some flies I spotted, trying to escape!
The beer sticky flooring, that reminded me of my student days, was up hill and down dale. A small, tight, winding staircaae leads you up to the gents. An old fireplace oddly protrudes from the wall, perhaps evidence of an old converted room.
No WiFi. Well, "there is staff WiFi but it's not public" said the cheery barman, not even looking up from his mobile phone( lose a star!) However, there is a really good range of drinks available. I opted for a great stout called, "mena dhu", that means 'black hill', in Cornish.

Shockingly (in a good way) massive portions of high quality food at a more than affordable price. Staff, as ever, friendly and helpful and knowledgable about their wares. Always has great music, previously only been in at 2am or later (/earlier...), but will absolutely return for more of that beef brisket! Margherita pizza and BBQ Platter shown in pictures, with a Wild at Heart cocktail (tequila, gin, vodka) - £33. Mulled cider, too, on a separate order. £4. Great pub, great food, great atmosphere. Definitely worth it, especially when other locations nearby will happily charge fifteen quid for a burger alone! I didn't manage to eat it all, but I got a handy box to take it home 😁 christmas dinner sorted too 😂😂😂
