Ale House · Fishponds · Est. 2017Home from home.

A community spirited micropub in the heart of Fishponds. Up to six real ales straight from the cask, real cider, and something on most weeks.

There is nothing better than standing at a bar, talking nonsense, while sipping a pint of real ale!

Snuffy Jack's is a cosy micropub and community hub on Fishponds Road. The casks sit on a stillage behind the bar and pour by gravity, straight into your glass.

We pride ourselves on a constant flow of different beers, so pop in and find a new favourite each visit. Got something to recommend? Tell Rose.

Friendly living room vibes.

That's how one Google review put it, and it's what we're after: a front room on Fishponds Road with blue walls, a pine bar, books on the shelf and local art on the walls.

Snuffy Jack: a bearded, moustached man with a pipe, in a roundel

Who was Snuffy Jack?A miller covered in snuff.

Jack was the head miller at Snuff Mills, just up the road, back in the 1800s. His smock was always covered in snuff.

Snuffy's opened in the summer of 2017 in a former stationer's opposite Fishponds Park, Bristol's third micropub, and it's been a home from home ever since.
