How do you choose which pub/bar to list in Bristol?
We don't curate by taste. Every independent pub/bar in Bristol that we can verify gets listed. Chains, franchises and private-equity-owned places are the only ones left out.
Are these pub/bar all verified independent?
Not all of them yet. We list them as independent and verify ownership through Companies House and background checks as we work through them, flagging the ones confirmed so far. The rest are listed but not yet marked verified. If one turns out to be a chain, a franchise, or owned by private equity, it comes off the list.
What does independent mean for pub/bar in Bristol?
It means locally and privately owned, with the money and the decisions staying in Bristol rather than flowing out to a national chain or a fund. Full detail is on our methodology page.
How often is this list of pub/bar updated?
We add and verify pub/bar on an ongoing basis and update listings as things change in Bristol. If you find something out of date, flagging it through the listing is the quickest way to get it fixed.
Can I add my Bristol pub/bar to Highstreett?
