It's interesting that the only previous review is dated 2009 - where is everyone else?! I have been going to this pub when I visit Bristol from Devon for the past two years and make sure that I never miss: it's part of what makes our regular trips to Bristol so enjoyable. The posters around the place are hilarious; my husband considers himself a bit of an expert of real ales and loves the beer; the atmosphere is friendly and safe (a rare combination in Bristol!); the staff are young and delightful; Ed Lobbett, landlord extraordinaire should be in the comedy store and the food at lunchtime is excellent value and so good to eat. What more can anyone ask? I don't know who the sad sod was who wrote the review in 2009 but whoever it was, I suspect they were barred for drunk, obscene behaviour as this is not allowed! For any one out there who wants a quirky pub with good beer, fun varied company and a lively atmosphere, The Bank is the place for you!
