The Open Arms

A child and dog friendly pub serving food with Sky TV and WiFi and a garden in Kingsdown.

Welcome to The Colston Arms, St Michaels Hill.

A traditional pub with modern attitudes and our mission here is to make a comfortable atmosphere for all comers.

We try to add a little humour to most things we do but we take our food very seriously. We source all our ingredients as locally as possible and everything is prepared in house. Serving proper pub food just how you always hoped it would be.

We host weekly events like our popular quiz night and also the odd live music evening.

We are avid sports fans here at the Colston Arms and have all the sports channels including Sky and BT Sports. We show all the Premiership fixtures, Champions League, Six Nations and anything else that involves grown men and women chasing each other around energetically.

We also know how to throw a party, so come and join us for birthdays, Christmas, New Years or any other time of year to celebrate with us.
