Pre Valentine's Poetry, Song and Music night at Merchants Arms - 12th February 2017
Posted on: 03 Feb 2017A pre-Valentine's Day special on Sunday February 12th of poetry, music and song extravaganza will see Bristol's best poets and musicians head to Merchants Arms in Hotwells for a night of merriment...and prizes for the winners!
The setting is very traditional and really sums up what a pub should be – a roaring open fire gives the place warmth and atmosphere, wooden beams adorn the ceilings along with wooden floors which hark back to a more traditional time. Private parties of all kinds are regularly catered for with bookings or enquiries very welcome, just get in touch for an informal chat about what they can offer you.
Rightly proud of their ales, they are a member of CAMRA. Being a Free House, Merchants Arms don’t have to pander to the requirements of any breweries and landlord, Mike Wilkins serves up a great selection throughout the year. An array of bar snacks are also available including Scotch eggs, real potato and meat pasties, hand-raised pork pies, a mixture of freshly made rolls and there's even microcasks of beer to take away.

The perfect setting for such an event, The Merchants Arms is a truly local yet central pub. It offers all the warmth and welcoming atmosphere you would expect from a traditional pub and the clientele are as much a part of that as anything they could pour from their extensive drinks list. It's a great way to spend an evening amongst great company whether you're alone, with a friend or a large group.
Pub games are available including chess, draughts, Othello, cribbage, dominoes and many others. It’s also dog friendly so you can always enjoy a well earned break during your stroll along the harbourside and docks with your pup. As you might have expected, it’s a great place to watch rugby, with the 6 Nations being a particular favourite, and they also have BT Sport.
You are encouraged to sign up in advance but simply turning up on the day is more than welcome. For further info please head to their Facebook page or call 0117 927 3709. This great pub is located at: 5 Merchants Road, Hotwells, Bristol, BS8 4PZ.
