Located close to Bristol University and the hospital, the Highbury Vaults is everyone’s favourite local, from students, lecturers and academics to doctors and nurses. Dating back to the early 1840’s, this pub is still very traditional inside with leather bench seating and its original snug bar with a jug and bottle. Step through the pub and into the beautiful hidden walled garden where you can enjoy your favourite tipple and a tasty bar snack in the sunshine. A great real ale selection is on offer from guest ales and Young’s alike. The Highbury Vaults also appears in the CAMRA Heritage Guide and the Good Pub Guide 2024.

Bradd, Sara and the whole team look forward to welcoming you.

Our bar might be known for a good pint, but come summer, we like to mix things up. From a crisp Hugo Spritz to a classic Pimm’s Fizz, our seasonal serves are made for long, sunny days and easy-going evenings.

Whether you’re sticking with your usual or trying something new, there’s always a glass worth raising.

If Bristol is calling, make your base at Hort’s Townhouse, a boutique stay where city buzz meets laid-back charm. Right in the centre of town, you’re just steps away from shopping, harbourside strolls, buzzing nightlife and Bristol’s world-class food scene.
