Basement pub to open offering a range of Bristol craft beers
A “small, intimate” basement pub has been granted a licence after its owner agreed to curtail its opening hours amid concerns from the police, environmental health and neighbours.
Tap Room, behind The Toast Room on East Street in Bedminster, is set to open next year, offering a range of locally brewed craft beers.
Bristol City Council licensing sub-committee heard the original application for 6am to 3am from Friday to Sunday and until 1am on other days had been scaled back to 7am to 11pm daily following talks with Avon & Somerset Police and the local authority’s noise pollution team.

An external courtyard has also been removed from the licensed area, which means customers can drink only inside.
Councillors granted the application but urged communication with the landowner and added further conditions to ensure the courtyard on East Street Mews was cleaned and had appropriate lighting and places to stub out cigarettes.
