Right in the heart of the harbour, almost surrounded by water, this is a great place for a pint. It gets busy at the weekend, especially when it's sunny, when folk gather at its collection of tables right on the water's edge and enjoy their drinks and the setting - a sublime way to spend an evening! The clientele is very mixed, which adds to its charm and you'll find a cross section of Bristol in here - elderly locals, salty sea-dogs, young doctors and nurses from the nearby hospital, glammed-up clubbers and those just out for a quiet drink. Food is available at lunchtimes and early evenings, from the usual pub-grub (their seafood platter is rightly popular) to rather tasty Sunday Roasts. Make sure you ask the bar staff about the place's fascinating history and look out for the caves inside, one of which contains a replica of a skeleton!
