Highbury Vaults

Added by matthewaddison [12 pints]

Highbury Vaults is located close to Bristol University and the hospital, attracting a mixture of clientele from students, lecturers and academics to doctors and nurses. Dating back to the early 1800's, this pub was where prisoners would have their last meal before being taken away to be hung! Today it is still very traditional inside, all dark wood panelled and dim lighting with the whole bar front being original. It is a long room with lots of little nooks and crannies. There is also got a lovely walled garden out the back which you wouldn't guess was there from the front of the building. A great real ale drinkers pub, it is in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide again this year and offer a range of guest ales alongside our favourite Young's beers. This is somewhere you can enjoy a good pint and a chat, with no loud TVs or music. One of the few traditional pubs left.
