Situated on the crossroads by Fishponds Library is the rather fine Farriers Arms, a “proper” town pub. The interior of the place is fine, but come rain or shine you’ll always find people sitting at the tables out front watching the world go by.
No gimmics here, just a good honest pub and one that, in the tradition of all good Fishponds Road pubs, supports live music. And some. Regular Saturday day evening bands indoors, frequent (in the summer) bands outdoors in the large beer garden.
You’ll often get to see bands here who aren’t part of the local “circuit” either, so it’s very well worth just dropping in on the off-chance.
Bar food, plenty of parking available, live music.
