Apologies for the delay, after extensive consultation, and finding a rather worrying pub nearby *shudder* it seems to be this place which is a goer:
Old Market Tavern
0117 922 6123
29-30 Old Market Street, Bristol, Avon BS2 0HB
http://m.google.co.uk/u/m/zxRhhJOnly about five mins from the venue and an okay place, according to my mate at least. Alternatively there is the Knight Templer by Temple Meads, which is a Wetherspoons. Let us know what you reckon
