  “The Alma is a real Bristol treasure. The pub is lovely, the food is excellent and the service is always cheerful and helpful. As a bonus, your food bill gets a 25% discount if you're going to the upstairs (air conditioned) theatre. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.”

  “Fantastic pub. Really lovely friendly helpful staff. Food was delicious and good value for money. And it's dog friendly! We will definitely visit again on our next trip to Bristol”

  “This seems like a very cute local pub. Unfortunately the play we came to see was just so terrible - the script seemed like it was written by generative AI, the acting was very awkward and there were technical issues. It felt extremely amateur and I sensed the audience generally agreed on this. It would have been good to know this was really just local community theatre akin to a school play, rather than what you might see at the Wardrobe or similar (actually entertaining and better value for money!).”

  “Staff were absolutely amazing. Just two young girl bartenders working alone on the hottest day I’ve experienced in the UK. Tried to talk to a manager to give my props but apparently there were none on shift. I’ve worked hospitality for 10 years. How a shift can be run on a day like this with no management is disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves. The two of them were struggling with broken coolers no beer and demanding customers. They conducted themselves well but if I owned this bar I’d be embarrassed.”

  “I came here for a stand up comedy show and wasn't disappointed the venue itself is great as was the comedy show. Would definitely recommend the access to the theatre is through a door next to the pub, incase any of you get abit confused where you meant to go like I did. Helpful staff guided me in the right direction thou”

  “Three of us just experienced a dreadful Sunday roast. Arrived lukewarm, then rapidly became cold. The roast potatoes and parsnip were over cooked, the Yorkshire soggy. The worst pub lunch we’ve ever experienced. Have eaten here several times and always enjoyed it. What’s going on?”

  “Fairly standard Sunday roast, with everything sort of tasting of nothing. I get the sense this place is treated as the bar staffs own personal venue and customers come second (on the Sunday I was in the bar staff were very excited that their friend brought a baby in, and all took turns holding it, forgetting people were at the bar) which is a shame. It has been much better in the past, but I do get the sense there’s no control there. The theatre upstairs is great for a night out, I’d just avoid Sundays.”

  “Quality pub. Really friendly and welcoming staff, very attentive. Pub is ready well maintained, food there is amazing. Had a roast. Prices are reasonable. They have a nice beer garden, seating is comfortable. They have it's own theatre, it's also only a few minutes walk away from Clifton train station.”
