10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Cheddar Gorge & Caves

"Bars and pubs Breweries. When it opened its’ doors in 2004, Zerodegrees was like nothing Bristol had seen before: an architecturally impressive bar, restaurant and microbrewery perched precariously in the steep space between Colston Street, Christmas Steps and Park Row."

"Zerodegrees has a gorgeous suntrap of a terrace, ideal for sinking pints and chomping on freshly-baked pizza. Nestled on the corner of Colston Street and Park Row, it's in prime position for post-lockdown hangouts."

"King Street Brewhouse is – as the name suggests – located on King Street near the busy city centre, and it’s another one of my favourite venues in Bristol. It has a huge outdoor area that takes up half of King Street, with marquees to protect it against bad weather!. They serve a variety of different drinks here, including beers made on-site, local cider, and plenty of spirits, including a selection of gin."

"An antipodean & middle eastern inspired menu sets Brew apart from the many exceptional independent coffee shops in Bristol. They offer a hearty flavourful breakfast menu that’s hard to beat as well as locally sourced coffee. We recommend trying the “Brewfast” which features their homemade Brew Beans, alongside a seasonal espresso."

"Two-pint steins, Oompah Bands and a rock and roll spirit makes Bierkeller about as close as it gets to an Oktoberfest stag do in Bristol. It also has a fair few live bands and with a 750-person capacity, it’s got a lot of room to move around in. It’s located on All Saints’ St, next to Castle Park."

"A quick peek in the window will tell you everything you need to know about The Bath Brew House. You’ll see a home-brewery housed behind glass doors, mismatch furniture and period portraits from the pub’s brewing past. It’s home to undeniably the best sun-trap beer garden in the city, and the selection of homebrews on cask and keg will keep you quenched during a spot of summer day drinking."

"Home to the best beer garden in Bath, this charming pub and restaurant has a delicious array of quality eats. The Brew House kitchen cooks up a whole host of BBQ chicken wings, vegan burgers and pomegranate-topped halloumi chips."

"Boasting a charming, plant-filled beer garden, Bath Brew House is bound to be abuzz with sunseekers and daytime drinkers throughout the warmer months."

"Moor is not only one of the most respected microbreweries in Bristol, but also the whole of the UK. Starting out in Somerset way back in 2007, when Californian Justin Hawke purchased the defunct business it has gone on to become one of the world’s top-rated breweries. Justin has taken inspiration from his Californian roots, creating full-flavoured, often hoppy, beers mixed with the British secondary refermentation tradition to create what they call Modern Real Ale."

"Examples of potential stops include: Arbor Ales, Moor Beer, New Bristol Brewery, Left Handed Giant, Barley Mow (BBF pub), Beer Emporium. Depending on venues transportation may be added to the tour."

"The magical Under the Stars boasts a top deck perfect for an outdoor meal or pint, or both, plus provides you with views down the harbour. Under the Stars describe themselves as “a floating Mediterranean tapas restaurant”, plus they are keen to feature recipes on their menu inspired by the places visited by ships leaving Bristol Harbour. Their top deck is also covered by a canopy and the boat is moored at Narrow Quay."

"It’s not just a great place to enjoy a drink – this restaurant-on-a-boat does some cracking food too. Its range of tapas dishes is both creative and expansive and is perfect for a warm evening with some friends."

"Go behind the scenes at Bristol Beer Factory with a guided tour of our brewery and learn how we produce our range of beers."

"Examples of potential stops include: Arbor Ales, Moor Beer, New Bristol Brewery, Left Handed Giant, Barley Mow (BBF pub), Beer Emporium. Depending on venues transportation may be added to the tour."

"The Bristol Hippodrome is a theatre and performance venue built in 1912, and one of Bristol’s largest venues. The Hippodrome is one of the best places to go to catch a live show. The venue has hosted acts such as Eddie Cochran and Lee Mack, and is a popular spot for touring West End theatre shows, including Cats and Les Miserables."

"I think the past couple of days have been the closest I’ve been to ’insta’- gram in ages. Usually I’m super slow at posting, but I only took this yesterday so that’s an improvement, right?!. – #visitbristol #bestofbristol #bbcwest #bbcbristol #visitengland #igersbristol #swisbest #bristol_lens #iamatraveler"

"Add into this mix the Bath art scene with its Victoria Art Gallery and Theatre Royal, as well as its burgeoning restaurant scene, and there’s more than enough to fit into a Bath day tip. But the prices here are going to quickly add up, with hardly any of Bath’s attractions costing you less than £10 entry."

"This theatre is quite prominent in the British stage scene, and perhaps the most important outside of London. Many West-End productions are given a trial run here before moving on to the big city. That’s not to say that the shows tend to fall short."

"‘One of the most important surviving examples of Georgian theatre architecture’ is how the Theatres Trust describes the Theatre Royal in Bath, and we aren’t …"

They’ve got two options for kids too, should you be after a family-friendly pancake fix."

"Bill’s opens early and cooks throughout the day, serving sumptuous food in a quirky and modern environment. This chain restaurant is a great example of how to create the feel of an independent eatery, whatever your size. Customer favourites include organic, coconut porridge, huge stacks of American-style pancakes and the hearty full English, called Bill’s Breakfast."
