Who Are The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer?

The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer is a craft beer and cider pub located on the historic King Street in the city centre of Bristol.

Nicknamed “The Volley”, the pub is housed in a 17th century Grade II* listed building and has been a public house since at least 1673.

Our pub has a traditional English pub feel while serving modern and traditional English beers, ales and ciders.

Drink

We have 36 lines of craft beer, cask ale and cider, and we work closely with some of the UK’s best local & independent breweries and distilleries to keep those lines full.

We stock lagers, IPAs, pale ales, stouts and bitters, as well as red, brown, amber and golden ales.

As a specialist craft beer pub we have a selection of sour beers and English saisons, as well as a fridge full of small batch, mixed fermentation, bottle conditioned beers and ciders.
