The Bristol Ram is the only pub in the world I’ve ever deliberately gone to for a drink on my own.
I was on my elsewhere at the time and as I strolled past the sound of live music just tempted me in. I actually doubled back. I loved it.
On this occasion however the Ram was our bar of choice for the third part of our Super Saturday trilogy and I had plenty of company.

The Drawbridge has a reputation for filling itself with men and sports. In that respect it did not disappoint as we walked in to watch a Six Nations match between Wales and Scotland, spotting perhaps only five women on the premises, one of whom was with us and most of the rest behind the bar.

Some years ago, Adam and I first coined the phrase “rugby drunk”. It’s how drunk you get when you watch rugby. With that said, allow me to introduce the first of our venues for the RBS Six Nations’ Super Saturday finale: Toto’s Wine Bar.
It’s so incredibly sunny; let’s go inside.
Toto’s prides itself on its customer focus; their website proudly proclaims that they are not part of any chain. Such service-oriented ethos was in evidence, as within a minute of our entering staff were already arranging furniture to give us a comfortable front row seat experience. Had it not been for pressing sports engagements the beautiful view might have had us sitting outside, for which this bar is more than well equipped. Furniture on the riverside is bathed in sun through much of the afternoon, offering a great view.

Few things are more exciting than flying a plane. Though I never earned my licence I used to fly in a glider with my Dad and beating up an airfield doing above 100kph gives you one hell of a rush – I will probably never forget the moment I first landed one by myself.
So I can get where the Aviator Bar up in Redland is coming from and I was pretty eager to suggest it when Mike and I needed a place to watch a bit of Six Nations rugby on a sunny afternoon a few weeks ago.
The name is in part born from one of the last working Bristol Hercules Engines in existence. This particular one belongs to the father-in-law of Aviator Bar’s Gavin Hogg and it represents the 1920s and 30s when Bristol led the aviation world.
