Like real ale?
Like bacon, cabbage & potato flavoured music? 🍀🎻🍺
The Red Monkey beer festival continues this weekend and today is MUSIC day.
From 2pm, Gypsy’s Kiss will be bringing Irish Trad & Folk to Chandos Road. They’re enormous fun, take requests, and if you’ve got even a half-decent voice after a pint or two, you may find yourself on the mic.
Can’t make it till later? From 7pm we ramp things up with Mexican Dave — now proudly Bristolian — a punk-folk artist with a love of all things Irish, who also happens to host our monthly OPEN MIC night. He’s from Mexico 🇲🇽 … and his name’s Dave.
It’s not just real ale either — there’s a huge range of spirits, craft lagers, ciders, soft drinks and alcohol-free options behind the bar, alongside hot pasties, sausage rolls (from the pasty emporium, arches Nr Temple Meads) and a proper traditional pub snack selection ready to tickle the tastebuds.
Oh yeah… the Guinness is as good as anywhere in Bristol. Trust me.
Get yourselves down to The Red Monkey, Chandos Road, Redland, BS6 6PF for a glorious seduction of the senses.
