Beeses has a buzz but it comes at a price

MARK TAYLOR went down to the woods and got lost looking for the city’s most elusive pub

THE message from the editor was short and to the point - can you go and review the most remote pub in Bristol?

Given the fact I'd been to Beeses Riverside Bar several times before, I couldn't see a problem.

But I still took a wrong turning and got lost tracking down the city's most elusive pint.

Next to the river in the part of Brislington that's more Broomhill, Beeses was recently named among the top five ‘most remote pubs’ in the UK and one of the most difficult to get to.

That's according to hospitality card payment business Dojo who ranked the most remote pubs in the UK according to how to access them and how far away the pub is from the closest city.

Hidden down a narrow and bumpy lane behind a quiet residential street, you can drive to Beeses (there’s a small car park at the front) and the Nol bus stops close by, but the best way to arrive is by ferry.
