New brewpub could open near Temple Meads
It’s neither a pub nor a brewery. Instead, it’s a ‘brewpub’, which brews and serves its own beer.
Bunnyhop Brewing could soon become Bristol’s second brewpub, with a licence application to open within a railway arch close to Temple Meads.
Bunnyhop aim to skip and jump towards opening in what was previously a gym on Oxford Street in St Philip’s, just the other side of the railway station from the cheesegrater bridge.
The company has three directors: George Mann of Hampden Road in Knowle, and Edward and Pellin Morgan of Paintworks, who hope to follow in the footsteps of Left Handed Giant brewpub in Finzels Reach.
Zero Degrees on Colston Street, King St Brewhouse on King Street and Bristol Brewhouse on Cotham Hill also brew their own beer.

If their brewpub does open for business, they could be joined in the arches – also occupied by a Cornish pasty shop and bicycle repair business – by online supermarket, Weezy.
Promising “fresh products and fresh brands arriving at your doorstep in minutes, literally”, Weezy want to open an Amazon-style ‘fulfilment centre’ in arches 21 and 22, next to the proposed Bunnyhop in number 23.
