Where would you live in Bristol?
Hello my furry friends.

Me and 'im indoors and teh kitteh are moving to Brzzl (as I believe the local characters refer to it) in the forthcoming months (providing his job comes through). What with work and suchlike I am having limited time to look round for housing. We want a 2 bed minimum house to rent. I've heard:

Clifton is nice but poncy
Redland is nice but studenty
St Paul's is a bit scabby

Anything further? I would (ideally) like to be somewhere I can get onto the M4/M5 quickly) and he wants to be somewhere on a bus route or near a station as he doth not drive.

Ta muchly.

Bishopston
Stokes Croft
St Andrews
Montpelier

Clifton is lovely but a little poncy
Redland is perfect and not too studenty
St Pauls is scabby but brilliant and exciting.

Cotham might suit you actually, 10 minute walk to bus station or 2 minute bus journey.

I can tell you that much.

Clifton is nice though

It's been a while since I lived there
but if I moved back (and I would love to; it's a brilliant city) I'd probably live in Montpelier or Clifton, if I could afford it.

EDIT - Amberl speaks only in truths, don't live in Horfield. That's where I lived, and some cunt nicked my motorbike.

wicked I won't ask what number as that is weird. But I used to be on the side of the road closest to the park and at the Drum Bank end.

Mini thread - best pub in brizzle
I'm going to go for Mrs Beeses on a sunny day. Take the boat over, eat a burger and drink fantastic cider in the garden.

And, importantly, few of the trustafarians from Clifton et al come and visit
( zulu eh?, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:11, Reply)

I've been here 10 years and still not made it to Beeses.
Not sure what my favourite pub is now. Hare on the Hill used to be good. I like the Bath Ales ones.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:14, Reply)

Beeses is brill - you should go. Nice and kid friendly too.
I think for me it'd have to be the Sugarloaf on St Marks road in easton. Best jukebox around, pool tables, lovely garden, excellent range of ciders, lagers, and local ales - some crazy locals and me!

I like the Apple for all the cider
but my favourite is the sportsmen for sheer tacky sport and shit food man pub
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:17, Reply)

The Apple is quite nice
gets quite busy though.
( zulu eh?, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:21, Reply)

The Apple is ok
but Coritap has cider AND good music.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:23, Reply)

and more students...

though it can be good when its busy. Exhibition cider!

In Clifton?
We walked by it on Saturday, but it was shut (about 2pm?). Went to one by the shops instead, with a Wii in.
Also, the Stag got angry at the human-sized Playmobil Pirate outside the posh kid's barbers.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:24, Reply)

Yeah, Coritap is only open in the evenings.
It's won Music Pub of the Year a few times. My ex plays there now and again so I used to go along and stay for the lock-ins after.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:28, Reply)

It looked cool
As did the one next to it, that had tons of signs out, but was also closed.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:31, Reply)

Tis good.
But it NEVER seems to be open when I want to go there. It's rather annoying.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:31, Reply)

I used to go there every day when I worked at the prison...
Is it the Annexe at the back? They do awesome stonebaked pizzas...

I liked The Hatchett
Didn't get to check out The Apple, but we made up for it with Urban Tiger...

Hatchet is always good...
What the fuck is this Urban Tiger place then? I've never even heard of it... Sounds like a chav bar.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:21, Reply)

it's a Gentleman's Club
Just on that big main road-y bit with the fountains in the middle.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:22, Reply)

fountains?
you mean the triangle - by Habitat at the bottom of whiteladies road?
( zulu eh?, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:24, Reply)

Concrete and metal things in a pool spouting water
In front of the theatre, just as you head towards the waterside.

Or 'the centre' as everyone else calls it.

Other side of the road
Wish I'd known that, all those take-aways were rammed, so walked to one near the hostel, where I had a sub-bar kebab meat and chips. The chili sauce was watery.

Hey!
I only went because the Stag Party insisted, and I had a dance bought for me. It meant I've crossed one thing off my "50 things to do before I'm eaten by bears" list though.
