King William, Bristol

Quinno _ left this review about King William

Timeless. Whilst the rest of King Street was a squalling murmuration of drunken students, Guardianistas and coked-up posers, this place had a quiet laid-back atmosphere that was perhaps approaching a mild hubbub. Sadly the cask OBB has departed but my Extra Stout was delicious. As I’ve got older and embraced the joys peace and quiet I’ve become to fully appreciate these kind of places.

Classic Sam Smith’s pub that fits perfectly into its location – it looks a treat from outside and doesn't disappoint much within. The main bar has pretty much the full array of Sam's produce and the cask OBB was in good shape. There are some booths here with a spur off left. Further back is a carpeted seating area. Decor consists of black painted beans and salmon shade painted walls. A quiet pub, with customer chatter making the atmosphere and there were a pleasingly broad range of punters in situ. All rather enjoyable and a wonderful respite from the beer bores and powder puff students that frequent many of the other bars in this famous Bristol street nowadays. Rated 8
