The Nova Scotia Hotel is one of Bristols best known traditional harbourside pubs. It offers great food and beers in one of the best locations in the city.  

Situated at the end of the floating harbour it has been a haunt of seafarers for almost two hundred years and you can still savour the atmosphere if you enjoy a pint of ale in the Captains Nook on a stormy night.

On draft we have Courage, Smiles and Bass as well as lagers and a wide selection of wines and spirits. The pub is split into three areas, a lounge area, the main bar and the cosy Captain's Room behind a Victorian screen. 

Franco Del Naja has been the Landlord of the Nova Scotia since 1995 and has run many other pubs in the city. "Of all the pubs I have run, I have to say that the Nova has the best location" he says "right next to the harbour is a lovely place to work, the pub is steeped in history and the regulars are a really friendly lively bunch that give the place a great atmosphere. We've also worked hard to offer good food for our customers as well as good beer and a great atmosphere and Mustaffa has continued this since he took over the kitchen."

A warm welcome to all customers is assured from Manager Mark Walter, Assistant Manager Fergus and their staff. One of the best aspects of the pub is the harbourside beer garden which is great for food during the day, weather permitting, and at night there is a really laid back atmosphere as people relax and enjoy a drink on a summers evening next to the harbour. There is plenty of room for parking outside the pub or in the car park across the road.
