Bag of Nails

Bag of Nails is a quirky, cat-friendly traditional pub in the Hotwells area of Bristol, England. The venue has a casual, cosy atmosphere and is widely known as a cat pub thanks to its resident felines, who roam freely among guests enjoying a drink. Rather than a dedicated cafe lounge, the space is a single character-filled bar room where regulars gather for conversation, board games, and the occasional record spinning on the player in the corner. The pub is celebrated for its rotating selection of real ales, ciders, and craft keg beers, with cask offerings from independent breweries changing regularly. Light bites such as pies are available alongside the drinks. The cats are permanent residents of the pub and are not available for adoption, and outside pets are not welcomed inside. Children under 14 are not permitted.
