Food Quality
Pros:

"Gravy was thick and wall paper paste consistency."
"It's edible to and extent but my friend had the fish and chips and the chips were so solid it was stupid."

"The Yorkshire pudding's crust was burnt and the roasted potatoes were hard and dry."
Atmosphere and Venue
Pros:
"This place is nice, with nice staff, nice seating and nice atmosphere."
"Fantastic place in a happening part of Bristol."
"Always a great night of comedy at this intimate venue."
"Great venue for a birthday party! I experienced great communication and response times when booking the event."
"The pub had a relaxed atmosphere. This was matched by the decor of wood and soft lighting."
"Great venue, good buzz and energy about it with small but well formed comedy club above."
"The venue also has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere."
Cons:
"Screaming children running a relay race across the place spoil the atmosphere."
"Pretty echoey."
"A strange atmosphere that is reminiscent of corporate bars in the US."
"Much like the Tobacco the acoustics make it difficult to hear anyone, anything and so to help us all out they wack up the sounds to drown out the sounds."
"The upstairs performance area badly needs a refresh, apart from the sad peeling paint, the initial odour assails your senses when you enter."
"Ordered and waited for food only to be told 30 mins later that the kitchen was shut."
"The pizzas didn't come for over an hour with no word in-between - no update."
Price and Value
Pros:
"Love this place, really reasonable food which doesn't take long to get to your table, drinks are a little on the high side but not out of sync for north street so not really a massive shock, really friendly staff, lovely outside space to the side and rear."
"Nice selection of beers at reasonable prices."
"Good range of Pizzas and reasonably priced @ between 7 and £10."
"Every weekend they offer such a reasonably priced evening of entertainment."
"The drinks are reasonably priced."
"25% discount on pizzas on Mondays and they are really, really nice!"
"The food here is really great and at a reasonable price."
Cons:
"More recently I paid £9 for a Burger on it's own and £3 for chips which for anyone who isn't a toff from London is an absolute joke."
"Fine during the Eat Out to Help Out promotion, but it would be a rip off at full price."
"£15.50 for a roast of such poor quality is not fair to the customer."
"The burger was quite dry and the very sweet relish that went with it didn't improve things any."
"The Yorkshire was flat and stodgy."
"No idea why it took so long for them to tell us."
"The quality of the food has dropped off of late."
