THE TAPROOM, OLD MARKET
Fresh Beer
Perfect Pizzas
Plants Galore
Welcome to The Taproom.
The Taproom, Old Market, is a destination venue for beer lovers.
Super-fresh beer, expertly served by our highly trained team. Sweeping, expansive views onto monolithic, gleaming silver fermentation vessels. Freshly made pizzas from our resident kitchen Pig's Pizza. Cosy blankets, flickering candles and the best beer in Bristol. More houseplants than you can shake a stick at. All this and more are waiting for those in the know on a small industrial estate sandwiched between Old Market and Easton.
A 500-capacity space with the city’s most exciting, diverse events lineup, everyone is invited to the taproom. From brewery tours to yoga, pottery workshops to live music, there’s something for everyone. And it’s not just our events calendar that’s expansive; our drinks menu is a proud showcase of producer excellence. In addition to beers brewed metres from your seat, we serve natural and premium wines, locally made spirits and cider, and a thoughtful selection of alcohol-free and soft drinks.
See you at the bar.
