The Gryphon is known to locals as one of the best pubs in Bristol! Especially if you’re a heavy metal fan. This tiny corner pub serves real ales on tap, with a soundtrack of metal music, plus live bands upstairs! Completely independent, it specialises in guest ales across 6 handpumps on a small, but comfortable semi-circular bar. Now let’s get to the food… The Gryphon has featured as ‘Food Pub of the Week’ in the Bristol Post and the Metro. There are regular burger weeks focusing on unusual meats from around the world, including Camel, Alpaca, Horse, Llama, Mouflon, Wagyu beef and Zebra! Don’t worry, they also offer various vegetarian and vegan options too.
