So yesterday was the first time I've ever been to the Stag & Hounds in Bristol. I guess it's mainly because I still haven't gone to a gig at the Exchange yet, and that's right next door, but the pub is really nice. My friend Abbie and I got there for 8 - the place is super cosy, with cheap drinks and a really nice interior (we had an old lady moment where we agreed that we both "love a good beam"). The place has a Birdcage kind of feel to it: you'll probably first go there to see a band, but once you find out about it, you want to go back as soon as you can, even if it's only for drinks, because it's just so nice in there.
