The Bank Tavern has been serving up smiles and pints since the 1800s. This small pub with a big heart has weathered riots, world wars, and Thatcher’s policies, emerging as Bristol’s beloved hideaway. As an independent free house, The Bank Tavern prides itself on a top-notch selection of local and national award-winning ales, ciders, and lagers, all served alongside their excellent food.

Famed for its legendary Sunday roasts, The Bank Tavern clinched the title of Bristol’s best Sunday Lunch at the Observer Food Monthly Awards in 2019 and the Bristol Good Food Awards in 2018. These roasts are the talk of the town, boasting plentiful portions with all ingredients sourced locally from trusted Bristol suppliers. Served from 12pm every Sunday, you can savor classic meat offerings or vegetarian options, all prepared with the highest standards of excellence.

Weekdays are no less exciting. Their summer 2024 lunch menu is now available, offering delectable dishes from 12pm to 4pm, Monday to Saturday. Sink your teeth into the ever-popular 21-day dry-aged beef burger or opt for the roast vegetable sandwich with sun-blushed tomato pesto, goats cheese, and spinach. Each sandwich is served with homemade fries and a fresh leaf salad. And don’t forget to ask about the daily specials and desserts!

The Bank Tavern is not just about the food; it’s a hub of community activity. Every month, they host a feast of live sports and music, from big-screen football and rugby to live bands. Tuesdays are quiz nights with a rolling cash prize, kicking off at 8:30pm. Be sure to arrive early to snag a table!

This cozy, dog-friendly pub even has hooks under the tables to keep your furry friends secure. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Bank Tavern’s warm atmosphere, excellent food, and friendly service will have you coming back again and again. Just be sure to book your Sunday roast well in advance—this little gem fills up fast!
