Commended for their well-kept real ale, eight pubs across Bristol are new entries in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

The 2021 edition of the guide is described as the “only properly and independently researched guide to the best pubs for real ale and cider across the UK”.

The book features 4,500 pubs across the UK, with 63 of these chosen by the Bristol & District CAMRA branch – who in June named Snuffy Jack’s in Fishponds as their pub of the year.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

These are the eight Bristol pubs featuring as new entries in the 2021 guide:

  • The Canteen, Stokes Croft
  • The Good Measure, Redland
  • The Hare On The Hill, Kingsdown
  • Left Handed Giant Brewpub, Finzels Reach
  • The Orchard, Spike Island
