The bar is known for its patriotic frontage and heavily decorated with Union flags.

The mural adorns the bars shutters, and reads:’Queen Elizabeth II 1926 -2022’

Pub regulars also stopped by to leave floral tributes to the Queen, with hand-written messages to Her Majesty.

All flags flying above the Bristol Bar have been lowered to half-mast out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II.
