Renamed as the Open Arms in 2021 to sever links with Edward Colston, a controversial figure in Bristol's history. The earliest known licensee served customers here as long ago as 1816. A very informal but welcoming little pub, they show Premier League football and other sports events. The food is of the simple pub grub variety, with a mean Sunday roast. There’s a lovely little rear garden, and a table-football table if you’re feeling competitive. Legend has it that here is where condemned men would sup their final pint before being hanged at the top of St Michael's Hill.
