The Rummer

Walk down All Saints Lane and you'll find yourself in one of Bristol's most characterful corners. The Rummer sits in a 17th-century building that's got more history than most pubs have had regulars, but it wears its age brilliantly—exposed beams, creaky floorboards, the works. The bar staff know what they're doing with a cocktail menu that doesn't overcomplicate things, and they're just as happy pouring a proper pint of local cider. It's the kind of place where you can turn up solo for a drink or bring mates and actually have a conversation without shouting over some awful playlist.
