The GRAK

Head down to Bishopston and you'll find yourself in one of Bristol's best-kept drinking spots. The GRAK sits right on Gloucester Road, that brilliant stretch where independents outnumber chains, and it's got the kind of unpretentious charm that makes you want to linger over a pint. The food hits different here—proper elevated pub fare that doesn't take itself too seriously, backed by a drinks menu that proves someone's actually thinking about what goes in your glass. It's the sort of place where locals prop up the bar on a Tuesday and groups pile in at weekends without it ever feeling forced or try-hard.
