Old Market Tavern

The Old Market Tavern is a classic, easy-going Bristol pub right in the centre, built for relaxed drinks, catch-ups and unhurried time with friends. Inside, there’s plenty of seating and sofas to settle into, giving it that comfortable, “stay as long as you like” feel rather than a quick in-and-out stop.

When the weather plays along, the sheltered garden becomes a proper little suntrap, making it just as appealing outside as it is in. It’s the kind of place that works across the whole week, whether you’re popping in for a quiet drink or letting things stretch into a longer, more social visit. Dogs pad in alongside you, welcomed as part of the setup, and quickly find their spot while the conversation ticks on.
