The Crafty Cow

Head down to Gloucester Road and you'll find The Crafty Cow doing something straightforward but genuinely well: burgers and a drinks list that actually knows what it's doing. It's the sort of neighbourhood spot that doesn't need to shout about itself—the 1,200-odd reviews speak for themselves. You're looking at a casual setup where you can roll in after work, grab something that tastes like care went into it, and not spend a fortune. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, exactly what Stokes Croft and Picton Street locals have come to expect from this stretch.
