The Old Bookshop - Bristol, City of

Haven 't been to the OB since the previous owner moved on used to be great but seems to have lost some vital ingredients. The food is all vegan which is okay except that it wasn 't my husband had the 'curry of the week ' (a sort of green bean thing which looked like it might been the curry of last week he had the sxxxts afterwards so that tells you something). I had the butternut squash curry which was okay except the curry was almost cold by the time the rice came out 10 minutes later. I 'm putting it down as average instead of poor because the drinks were good and the meal wasn 't too expensive but the real turn off was the background music. I don 't know what you 'd call it heavy metal, maybe but it sounded to me like some really terrible local rock band and soooo loud. We had to shout to hear each other, the up shot being we didn 't stay for another drink and couldn 't wait to leave.

This is probably the best Indian food I've ever had when you're looking for vegan/plant-based. So much choice and literally everything was delicious. Affordable too. Will be back!

We have visited a few times and every time thoroughly enjoy ourselves. They have a huge beer menu with many from around the globe- my personal favourite is the Helles on draft, simple but delicious! And the chips are some of the best in Bristol, for a simple bar snack they are perfect! And the garlic mayo is equally delicious

Clinical, no atmosphere , living on past glories, delusions of grandeur. Very rude staff. Was a unique place, now risible.

Great beer, great decor, music very aggressive! Turning it off would be better, or even mixing it up with songs people would know.
