Your local pub, microbrewery and kitchen

The Merchant of Cotham

Brand new to Bristol

Perfectly brewed on Cotham Hill

Nestled on vibrant Cotham Hill, The Merchant of Cotham is a true neighbourhood microbrewery and pub. We brew our own award-winning, unpasteurised craft beers on-site, vegan, fresh and full of character. Pair them with a menu built around bold pub classics: from Beer-Can Chicken and Ribeye Steak to Beer-Battered Fish & Chips and our legendary Loaded Waffle Fries. Day-time deals Monday to Saturday, weekly specials every night, and Sunday Roasts served all day long.

Food & Drink

Great food & beer brewed right here

Our kitchen and brewery go hand in hand, with a beer to sit beside every dish, from Nashville tenders with our Deception WCIPA to a Sunday roast with gravy made from our own brew. Behind the bar, a wine list by the glass or carafe, classic cocktails and spritzes, and a curated range of global craft beer and cider.
