The Bristol Flyer
A.K.A. 'The Goose at the Flyer' and 'The Goose', this pub's multiple-naming identity crisis can cause many silly confusions while planning a night out, so be warned. The old place has recently had a big revamp and, whilst maintaining the dark hardwood and lovely soft seats, has gone much more upmarket than the shabby drinking-hole of yesteryear, so that there's now a glossy, smart feel to the place and a decent menu. On the downside it's now a tad on the pricey side, which some of us nostalgic for the unglamorous, dirt-cheap days of yore regret.
