Affordable ales, cats, board games, a fantastic atmosphere and did we say cats? You more than likely knew about Bristol’s cat cafe, but did you know Bristol has its very own cat pub?
Located on 141, St Georges Road in Hotwells. You may end up missing Bag of Nails if you’re not looking out for it.
From the sign on the window you quickly get a feel of the kind of establishment legendary barkeep Luke runs here.
You should not be entering this place if you’re on your way to the Bunker.
This is further emphasised with no children being allowed in. It’s no place to bring the kids, and it’s soon apparent why.
Because it’s filled with cats!
Here’s monkey face.
There’s a cat prison for the bad Bag of Nails cats
But it’s unlikely this chonker would fit
Some are too sleepy to care
There’s one who lost an eye as a kitten
And many more amazing cats
We couldn’t recommend Bag of Nails more, it’s an amazing bar to drink in Bristol. The staff & locals are great characters, the cats are unbelievably cute and the music is superb.
Give this pub a visit… as long as you’re not on a stag do, on the way to the Bunker, with kids, or just a general piss kidney because the owner will throw you straight out.
While you’re at it why don’t you give them a like on their Facebook page?
