Wiper and True Taproom, Old Market

The beer and the bar

The taproom pours Wiper and True beers brewed on site, alongside natural and premium wines, locally made spirits and cider, and alcohol-free and soft drinks. Inside there is room for around 160 people, with space for about 280 more outdoors under a festival-style stretch tent that gives the beer garden plenty of shade and some cover from Bristol drizzle.

Food, events and tours

Pig's Pizzas cooks from a container kitchen in the beer garden. The 500-capacity space hosts live music, DJ nights, pottery workshops and even dog life drawing, and the brewery runs small-group tours with plenty of samples, booked through its website. The taproom states that everyone is welcome, and it has gender-inclusive and accessible toilets.

Finding it

The address is Unit 11, City Business Park, St Jude's. Use the Easton Road entrance opposite LA Gym, ignore the first left and take the next one. It is a walk of a few minutes from Cabot Circus and Old Market, so it works as a first stop on an evening out. The Plough Inn is nearby if you want a traditional pub, and the Delta Hotels Bristol City Centre is close for an overnight stay.
