Too Busy 2nd October 2008

0 found this helpful

This is one bar in a whole line of bars along the water front in Bristol, but while others are often quiet (some even empty), this one is always busy - and I don't know why! It's a modern pub which is tastefully done out, and it blasts out the music (modern, popular songs usually).

It is always packed full of people, so there's a good noisy atmosphere (if that's what you're looking for), but that means that it's difficult (sometimes impossible) to get to the bar, and the prices are on the high side. Why the similar bars on either side that sell alcohol at much lower prices remain pretty empty remains a mystery to me. So it's often just a quick one here, before moving down the strip.

Vibrant place to go 9th September 2008

The Pitcher and Piano is a lively and very busy bar. I usually go there on a Friday or Saturday night and you can guarantee that it will be busy. The place isalways buzzing with people out to have a good time and there is a good selection of drinks to choose from. The only downside is that it can be a bit expensive. For example I paid £9 for 2 single vodka and lemonades which to me is a tad excessive. The lagers on the other hand are well priced and about on par with other places. If you happen to get in there late then it can be a real struggle at the bar to get served and you will probably end up standing as there aren't that many places to sit. It can also get very loud in there, resulting in everyone shouting to their mates just to be heard, but at the end of the day it's a good place to go to hang out before heading onto the other bars and clubs along the waterfront.
