Perched on the edge of the historic Bristol Harbourside, The Ostrich sits proudly with its huge riverside beer garden and cosy interiors over two floors. Upstairs, the recently refurbished ‘Top Deck’ dining space and bar is available for private hire with stunning views over the harbour, while downstairs our main bar space is ideal for a quiet pint and a bite to eat. Outside, our Portside BBQ serves up amazing Americana-inspired street food to one of Bristol’s best beer gardens, with a mix of suntrap seating areas & shady spots. Please note outside tables are available on a first come, first served basis, and cannot be booked. Food and drink can be easily ordered to your table via OrderPay. We’re child-friendly, dog-friendly, and LGBTQIA+ friendly, with plenty of space for small and large groups, so everyone’s welcome at The Ostrich. Don’t forget to pay a visit to our ‘smugglers’ cave’ for a true slice of Bristol heritage!

This Sober October, which Zero will be your hero?

Two cracking alcohol-free b**rs, all the flavour, none of the alcohol!

🏆 Goram IPA Zero: Our multi-award-winning alcohol-free IPA, packed with the same delicious, hoppy flavour you know and love from Goram IPA.

🐊 Tall Tales Zero: Big on juicy hops, bursting with citrus and every bit as fruity and flavoursome as the original Tall Tales Pale Ale.

So, which one gets your vote? Team Goram or Team Tall Tales? 👇

🛒 Need to re-stock? Both are available on Amazon, while you can also pick up Goram IPA Zero at M&S nationwide, or Tesco and Co-op stores across the South West.

There really is no better way to spend a Sunday 🍻
