The Bag of Nails

Bristol:

A small, proper, traditional pub just a short walk from the centre of the city. There’s so much to like here- the atmosphere is laid back and friendly, there’s board games, and music that customers can choose from the stack of vinyl, that you can hear but talk comfortably over. The beer is an ever-changing mix of cask and keg, the cask being in great condition. No food, except crisps & pork pies.

Oh yes: there’s cats too. 14, apparently, of which we saw about 7 or 8. They wander about at times, but often just sleep contentedly in cardboard boxes on the bar top, happy to let customers and bar staff fuss them- and just to be clear, I’ve rarely seen cats more content or happy, despite the customers, and they’re free to come and go as they please.

So generally, it’s wonderful.
