There is nothing better this time of year then enjoying a good pint of beer or G&T in a great classically British pub. Here at Obis360 , we have put together some great bars local to the Bristol area where you can wet your whistle this Winter. The Milk Thistle Website: Milk Thistle Bristol It’s likely that even some of the drinkers in the White Lion pub next door might not know that the Milk Thistle contains four floors of decadent excess. If you don’t like wood panelling and taxidermy, look away now. Each level has a different function, with a ground floor cocktail bar, first floor private members’ lounge and various function rooms including private dining with chefs from sister restaurant The Ox. If you’re here with a group of friends, try the Milk Thistle punch or selection of Trappist beers made by monks in monasteries across Europe. The Milk Thistle is located at Quay Head House Colston Avenue Bristol BS1 1EB Hyde & Co Website : Hyde & Co As secrets go, a secret room within a secret bar is probably as secret as you could get. Hyde & Co may be just off the Clifton Triangle, one of Bristol’s busiest nocturnal thoroughfares, and surrounded on almost all sides by kebab shops, but if you didn’t know it existed, you might walk by it blissfully unaware of the delights within. Cocktails dominate but are most certainly not the only drinks here, with bottles of Wild Beer and Burrow Hill cider both making the short journey from Somerset. Hyde & Co is located in The Basement, 2 Upper...
