                <description><![CDATA[This is a great place for either a few drinks in the bars downstairs (The Star bars) or an amazing dinner in the Italian-influenced restaurant upstairs (The Dove). I've done both (the bars several times!) and I love it there! Always have a good time. Really close to Victoria Park so it's the perfect place for a cheeky cider during a day in the sun. Get involved!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[South of the river in Bristol is a bit of a nightlife black hole if you're not in Southville - but with the arrival of the S&amp;D, the Windmill and the Bocabar, things are becoming slightly more exciting. <br><br>The S&amp;D wins out over the other two though, because of its fantastic food, some of the best I've had in Bristol (better than many mediocre but far more expensive restaurants in town - Riverstation I'm looking at you). <br><br>It's not totally gastro though - downstairs is a more traditional pub, though wonky and trendy in that reclaimed-furniture style. And it's right by a big park. Lovely!]]></description>
