Historic roadside inn. Reopened after a major refurbishment on 8th October 2016 serving real ale directly from the barrel and a number of real ciders and perry. One large drinking space with a separate room at the back which can be used for overspill or as a function room. "Pie and pint" catering available.
The Dark Horse has a rustic ‘country pub in town’ feel, situated on the upper third of Redfield’s Church Road and the sister pub of CAMRA Somerset Cider Pub of The Year 2013 The Plough Inn, Taunton.
We have a passion for real ale gravity fed from firkin casks on classic stillage behind our bar, this is backed with an extensive collection of traditional local farmhouse cider and a rotating line of local craft beer.
Food we keep simple, we are a boozer after all, Traditional (Pieminister) pie and mash, accompanied by our famous secret recipe onion gravy and minted mushies and of course locally sourced and free range Sunday roasts, every Sunday until late (4pm). Or come in and graze on our range of homemade and locally sourced British tapas bar snacks.
Dog friendly (and next to St Georges park), chatty knowledgeable happy staff, open mic performances, a roaring open fire, bashed up leather furniture, upright piano, weekly quiz nights, weekend DJ’s, event space for hire, Bierkeller tables, a secret dancefloor with huge glitter ball available to hire, put on nights etc.

They let me eat my kebab in here… And they serve good beers. Can’t knock it!
Stayed here, it was fantastic. A bit noisy on the weekend but I didn't mind or complain. Super close to grocery and not bad walking to anywhere important. Hope to stay again!! Great cider selection.
Absolutely LOVE The Dark Horse, we put on an event in their backroom and it’s the perfect space for so many different functions. All staff are completely lovely, friendly and helpful - it’s one of our favourite pubs in the whole of Bristol! Definitely do not hesitate to enquire about using the room for private or public events!
Had my 30th birthday party held in the back function room and had the best time!! Staff are super accommodating and the day was perfect! Would definitely return! Great pub xx
My brother hosted his 40th birthday party in the function room at The Dark Horse. Everyone had a great time. Good selection of beers, friendly and helpful staff members and all ran smoothly. Guests all had a fantastic night 👍👍👌
