Morris Dancing
Well, these chaps arn't actually dancing, some of them are singing though and others are tapping their feet, so dancing is an ever present danger!
Thursday night is the night the morris comes to the Bag - they come to drink though, not to dance, sometimes they bring friends with them, these came from Minnesota; it was a good night.
Usually they just get in the bloody way.

If you screw your eyes up - you could almost be there! only

| A Real Ale Pub in Hotwells Bristol |
| The Bag o' Nails is a true free House (no that doesn't mean...), with a wide and frequently changing selection of cask conditioned beers. The pub has a policy of supporting independent breweries, and as we are not tied, we can choose the beers we want and change them as we wish, so you will find all sorts of interesting stuff here! A range of bottle conditioned beers, unpasteurised continental lagers, German wheat beers and cider also available. |

| Beer Festival |
| No need for tickets or anything like that - just turn up and enjoy |
|
|
|
Every six months, usually in April and November, The Bag holds a Beer Festival, when the management try to get even more inventive than usual when seeking out beers. The cellar gets crammed with beer and over the four days, the pub, which is not exactly spacious, can also get quite... intimate. If you can't make any of the four official days, (or you don't like crowds) it's worth noting that for practical reasons, some of the 'festival' beer will go on the pump before and after the date, so it's well worth looking in to see what's on offer.
Next Beer Festival at the Bag is planned for
15th to 18th April 2010

| Quiz Night at the Bag |
Wednesday Night is Quiz Night...
Yes, every Wednesday, or more accurately, nearly every Wednesday, the Bag holds a quiz night; you know the sort of thing, people come along and answer questions - there are prizes, you can win beer ! It starts at about half eight to nine, depending on the wind, and is usually an amusing, good natured occasion; violent disputes over what is, or is not the correct answer, hardley ever break out!
A sample quiz paper can be found HERE!
