The Highbury Vaults Traditional ale house dating back to 1800's. Iconic venue with superb real ale & hidden garden gem.
(302)

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 1800'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 alfresco this summer. A great real ale selection is on offer from guest ales and Youngs alike. The Highbury Vaults also appears in the CAMRA Heritage Guide and the Good Pub Guide.

Summer baskets, you’ve been blooming lovely… but it’s time for the winter glow-up! 🍂🌸

Give our new winter baskets a few weeks and they’ll be bursting with colour right through the colder months!

And with a heated, partially covered garden, there’s still every reason to grab a pint and get cosy outside!

Winter garden drinks? Don’t mind if we do! 😉

This cheeky little number from Hop Union Brewery is a one-off Pale Ale at 4.5% - fruity, fresh and far too good to be a one-hit wonder!

It won’t be hanging around for long, so grab yourself a pint before it does a runner! 🏃‍♂️

Catch it while you can! 🍺
