The new owner refurbished the entire building<\/p>\nIt dates from the 18th-centuryThe new owner refurbished the entire building<\/p>\n
The Crown in the heart of St Nicholas Market dates back to 1741 and was once an inn frequented by merchants, dock workers and, one imagines, quite a few pirates and salty sea dogs.<\/p>\n
Back then, the main trading area of this Grade II-listed 18th-century pub <\/a>would have been in the vaulted cellars, a space that over time has been used as a live music venue and club.<\/p>\n These subterranean cellars are also said to be haunted by a ghost of a 17th-century man wearing a periwig.<\/p>\n Apparently, the bewigged gent has only ever been seen by women – although I have to say I did spot a few chaps sporting short and curly mullet haircuts in the bar on the night I visited, so who knows?<\/p>\n The Crown was taken over by Marc Griffiths in 2021 when pub <\/a>company Mitchells & Butlers decided to get rid of it during the pandemic.<\/p>\n Griffiths also runs The Mothers Ruin around the corner on St Nicholas Street and has recently taken over The Colosseum in Redcliffe<\/a> as part of his company, World Famous Dive Bars.<\/p>\n Prior to Griffiths taking over The Crown, the pub had long enjoyed a reputation for its heavy metal music and screens showing sport.<\/p>\n The new owner refurbished the entire building, from the roof down, adding new floors, lighting and bar.<\/p>\n One of the few city pubs with a licence that allows it to open into the early hours at weekends, The Crown attracts a young crowd of drinkers in the evening, as well as a steady daytime trade from visitors and workers around St Nicholas Market.<\/p>\n On a Tuesday evening, there\u2019s a quiz with a \u2018huge\u2019 jackpot and Sunday night is the well-supported \u2018Crowneoke\u2019 karaoke sessions.<\/p>\n Like sister pub The Colosseum, the pub runs some incredible drinks deals during the daily happy hour from 4pm-8pm.<\/p>\n This includes Holsten Lager and Thatchers Gold for \u00a33 per pint – or four for \u00a310, which must make it one of the cheapest pints in Bristol, especially as one nearby pub has recently been selling a certain beer for an eye-watering \u00a37.80 a pint.<\/p>\n There are also cocktail deals – two for \u00a310 – and options include Sex on the Beach and Tequila Sunrise.<\/p>\n On tap, there\u2019s St Austell Tribute, Harbour Arctic Sky Cold IPA, Mena Dhu Cornish stout, Jubel peach lager, Arbor Motueka, Arbor Shangri-La and Iford New Tradition \u2018session cider\u2019.<\/p>\n Wisely, with so many liquid temptations on offer, there is also plenty of food to soak it up with, including 12-inch pizzas (\u00a312.50), chicken wing platters (\u00a315), burgers (\u00a312.50), brisket and gravy dip roll with fries (\u00a312.50), toasted focaccias with fries (\u00a38) and loaded fries (\u00a38).<\/p>\n The Crown, 10 All Saints Lane, St Nicholas Market, Bristol, BS1 1JH.<\/strong><\/p>\n Join our WhatsApp group<\/a>Privacy Notice<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It dates from the 18th-centuryThe new owner refurbished the entire building The Crown in the heart of St…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,799,748,393,786,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-109021","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-bristol-city-centre","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-food-and-drink","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114523208692518691","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_The-Crown-bristol-2.jpg\")
