Welcome to Bristol's freshest dive bar

from the same team that brought you the Vittoria and barrelhouse

Re-opened in October 2024 after a prolonged closure, The Ship Inn has been re-vitalised and refreshed, bringing all the best parts of our well-loved pubs closer to the city centre.

Naturally, our signature Happy Hour is in full swing from 4 til' 8pm, boasting a delectable selection of £6 cocktails and affordable beer, cider and spirits. We're not short of in-house entertainment either: we have Shuffleboard and Darts areas as well as a downstairs venue with karaoke facilities, and we host a plethora of events ranging from open mics, pub quizzes and live music/DJs.

Whether you're celebrating with friends and family, looking to let off some steam playing our pub games, or just fancy swinging by for a drink or two, we'd love to welcome you to The Ship Inn!

VITTORIA,

BRISTOL

Nestled within bustling Whiteladies Road, The Vittoria was our first foray into running a Bristol pub. With a happy hour running from 4 til' 7 everyday, free live jazz and banging Sunday roasts, it's a must visit for anyone looking for a cosy place to spend the evening.

BARRELHOUSE, BRISTOL

Situated on Gordon Road in Clifton just a stone's throw from the University Union, Barrelhouse is a hub of live music, delicious drinks and weekly events. Not only that, but its kitchen is open 6 days a week serving fresh, handmade Detroit-style pizza. The happy hour runs all the way til' 10pm everyday, and the calendar is filled back-to-back with unmissable entertainment (not to mention its legendary New Years Eve party!).
