THE TAPROOM, OLD MARKET
Fresh Beer Brilliant burgers 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. 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.

We also proud to have award-winning burgers from Squeezed available in our beer garden.

See you at the bar.

Burgers + Beers

Award-Winning Burgers from Squeezed

We’re beyond excited to welcome our new, permanent food partner at The Taproom in Old Market: the legendary, award-winning Squeezed.

The National Burger Award champions will be serving up their iconic burgers and fries from their bright yellow airstream in our beer garden.

The menu is considered and concise, with rotating specials offering customers something different and exciting every couple of weeks. You can of course expect to see the cult classic, the St. Werburger on the menu, and delicious veggie and vegan options too.

All of this can be enjoyed with a pint of Wiper and True beer, brewed metres away from your seat. Bliss.
