Rose & Crown

You're walking into the kind of pub that still exists when everyone else has gone craft-cocktail mad. Two Mile Hill sits in that corner of south Bristol where things feel properly lived-in, and the Rose & Crown gets it—no faffing about with deconstructed fish and chips or Edison bulbs. There's a solid selection of real ales on tap, the sort of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers aren't treated like they've crashed a private members' club. Food's honest rather than fancy (think proper pub grub), and the vibe is relaxed enough that you can actually hear your mates talk.
