Bristol has plenty of beer gardens where you enjoy an ice cold pint in the sunshine. On the Redcliffe side of Bristol Harbour, The Ostrich takes pride of place on the water's edge with one of the biggest outdoor seating areas in the neighbourhood.
As well as a refurbished interior and a new restaurant upstairs, the popular quayside beer garden was also given a makeover. It includes an alfresco bar, picnic benches and the Portside BBQ serving up American-inspired street food.
Dating back to at least 1745, The Ostrich on Lower Guinea Street was built into the sandstone cliff face of Redcliffe Hill. It is steeped in history having been a popular spot for sailors, shipyard workers and merchants around the time of the Bristol Slave Trade.
