Real ale, traditional cider, great food and live music - all under one roof.
Occupying the same site since 1741, The Crown is a real ale pub and cider house with an edge. This superb venue blends the traditional with the alternative to create one of Bristol’s must-visit locations. Whether you’re looking for drinks, food or great music, you’ll find it at The Crown.
Set in the heart of the Old City, The Crown welcomes everyone with a smile and some of the best drinks around. As proud holders of a Cask Marque accreditation, The Crown pride themselves on their ever-changing and expertly-selected range of craft and real ales. They have great links to local breweries and those further afield so you can be sure of a great selection whenever you enter.
Traditional cider also features heavily on the drinks list, with a focus on supporting local producers. Guest ciders from some of the Westcountry’s very best cidermakers rotate while favourites like Thatchers, Sheppy's and Worley's occupy the permanent taps.
Directly beneath The Crown lies an altogether different type of venue, with alternative club nights, gigs and much more taking place year-round inside their very own basement venue, The Trap.
The Trap's 100-capacity space is home to everything from heavy metal to industrial, death metal and much more. Known only to those who frequent it, the venue is often overlooked when it comes to Bristol's best, but has certainly established itself among a dedicated group of regulars in recent years.
The Crown's kitchen also serves up a range of great dishes through the week, with lunch specials, proper pub grub, Sunday roasts and more available.
