Bag O' Nails, Bristol

Small but perfectly formed is the best way to describe this pub. Bag O' Nails is one tiny room with a bar, perched on the edge of a roundabout slightly out of town. But that doesn't stop people flocking here from miles around. Why do they bother? Well, it's the antithesis of a city-center super pub and that's what the punters like about it. You won't find loud music, fruit machines, flashing lights in here but a real ales paradise. There are always at least four different brews from independent breweries on draught, with a couple of guest ales usually on offer too. Check out their blackboard for the beer's vital statistics-how much a pint and more importantly, the alcohol percentage in each one. Some of these brews are lethal!
