On the Grid : Pallino

"Built on the site of an old espresso bar, Pallino has roots grounded in its Italian heritage. The name itself is derived from the Italian word for the 'jack in a game' of bocce. This bar is perfect to perch up at and let the afternoon sun beam through whilst sipping on an Aperol spritz. For those who like their drinks a bit on the heavier side try one of their negronis. Wow! Serving Italian style bar food with charcuterie and cheese tasting plates, Italian blood runs through this bar. An afternoon tipple can easily roll into the evening, encouraged by the fun atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. In the warmer months, the large courtyard even offers an afternoon treat with games of bocce being played." - Sherwood Gutterz

Perfect timing for a mulled wine and a bowl of complimentary crisps and a Crichton tech-thriller. There’s a gorgeous window around 4pm when the sun beams down Blythe Street across and warms up this cosy spot on High St. Always great retro tunes.

It’s the bend over backwards ‘we’ll find a way’ exceptional service that goes above and beyond to accommodate our needs every time (even the SOS calls for a last min booking during the busy periods!) that makes Pallino so special! It’s reassuring to know that we can always rely on these legends to have our backs and make the magic happen! 💘

Great bar on High Street with an excellent selection of spirits and some beers on tap. Food available from nearby restaurants that you can order at the bar. Great beer garden out the back.

I was one of 3 people at the Bar on a Sunday afternoon. I was seated outside. No one served me, I went inside, I was ignored. I went inside for the second time and took the menu. The person working there ignored me and was telling a female all about his landscaping apprenticeship. I waited at my table, no water, no water for my dog, no service. I left.

The best bar in Thornbury! Always such a great vibe - music, drinks, and Lou’s warm welcome. Couldn’t recommend anywhere to wet your whistle more highly. Been coming back for 7 years!!

This bar is one of the best bars in Thornbury. The drink selection isn’t huge, and the only cocktail they make well is the Pallino, but there is just something about it that makes it special. It’s a nice environment to be in, the design of the bar is understated, and the toilets are clean. The customer service is amazing, all the bartenders are warm and friendly, and this is a particularily safe place to drink if you’re female. I have always felt very welcomed by this warm and friendly environment. This place isn’t pretentious or intimidating, it’s just a really nice place to drink, run by a great manager and amazing staff.

Love this place. By far the best cocktail bar in Thornbury. Great staff, fun vibe, locals bar with a great selection of booze and nibbles. Great hidden beer garden out the back. If it's a sunny day and the front bar is empty- it's because all the locals are basking in the sun drenched beer garden outside!

Pallino is a great spot. One of the top picks for this end of High street in thornbury, it isn't open as late as some of the other bars in the nearby area, but it;s open late enough. The owners and staff are always very inviting warm and friendly. There's usually a few good beers on taps, around 4, and they sport a great back bar selection- along the wall. Cocktails can be made too and are listed, and Lani ( I hope this spelling is right) is a dab hand at whatever you may wish to drink. A smaller chilled space, the front can get over-run with the smokers crowd, but there is limited seating on the street. There's also a fantastic courtyard, and if you arrive at a reasonable hour before 10pm, you can get food from one of the many near by businesses- pizza mainly, but other options are around too.
