🚀 𝗧𝗮𝗽 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 🚀
With the arrival of 700 or so students on the doorstep of our beloved Tap Room from this weekend, we're doing the sensible thing & making the necessary adjustments: we're tremendously excited to share the news that from next week we're extending our opening hours to include WEDNESDAYS & THURSDAYS.

Expect a more chilled affair than the weekends; board games, talks, quizzes, workshops, lazy & laid back things from 4pm-11pm with ridiculous student-shaped drinks offers to boot. Plus karaoke if you can twist our arm.

We're delighted to be welcoming Timber Yard - Student Accommodation to the community- 6 years in the making and can't wait to raise a glass a 3 with our new neighbours, and our regular friends too.

We've just had a Teams call with the who have confirmed that this Bank Holiday weekend will be drenched in heatwave temps in Bristol. Their suggestion is ice cold fresh cider to balance ourselves out, and we couldn't agree more. We're toasting the glorious blue skies with a cheeky £4 deal on all draft pints this Friday & Saturday, in a thinly veiled ploy to attract you to the Silverthorne Lane Rivera; the home of Bristol's only Cider Tap Room. That's all craft ciders & craft beers, an astonishing £4 on Friday from 4pm-7pm and Saturday 1pm-4pm. Perfect pre / wherever you're heading off to.

Plus we have something new, fresh & tasty launching on Saturday + the cider from Apple Day 2025 to taste + some ridiculous cheese on the house too. Dreamy.

📸 from our opening day 2020. The printed branded cups lasted less than 2 weeks before vanishing, lovely idea though 😁

It's landed for 2026:
What better way to spend a lazy sunny Saturday afternoon than meandering around Bristol's historic harbourside, with generous pours of fine juices including rare Perry's, Single Varieties & , swinging by cider institutions such as along the way. A mouth watering pit stop at completes the scene- it's forbidden to enjoy cider without cheese in some parts of the region. A sublime session, we love it- sharing tales of orchards & stories of cider in the city we call home ♥️

Kicking off this Saturday, and then every other Saturday until the weather turns grim. Book using the links in our bio or for groups of 7+, DM us. We've run tours for office parties, stags/hens, birthdays and so on- the more the merrier 🍻🎉

🔥 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲 🔥

Somehow we've found ourselves at the tail end of 2025, with just one more sleep til the biggun. Our evening event with is completely sold out with no tickets on the door- check Headfirst for waiting list. If you've got a ticket, come down early; there's free shots of tequila for the first people through the door at 10pm.

We'll be open during the day- 1.30pm-8pm for daytime / pre-drinks, with fresh cider, nice beers, good tunes, fun times, fully heated until the evening gets into full swing- pop in for a cheeky 3 pints?

We'll be closed for most of January for a recharge/spruce, see you on the other side or see you on the floor 🔥

Big love to for bringing a Future Cowboy theme to the Tap Room this December for a festive banger, ramming the arch with wranglers, ranchers & buckaroos and a handful of robots for good measure: a cider soaked footstomp into the night.

Hit us up with your party ideas- we're up for 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 things, and love sharing our space. We have a tasty soundsystem, a late license, and drinks extending far beyond cider- beers from .ales coffee tequila, nice spirits, good wines, tasty low/no options & frozen margs too.

Season's Greetings from Silverthorne Lane ❤️

The dark damp nights have crept up on us and things are looking Bladerunner-esque down on the Silverthorne Lane Rivera. It's our fave time of year- a time for harvest, mulled cider, keeping warm & going out out.

All evenings are booked out at the Tap until mid-January. We have some daytime availability if having a dance & being in bed by 8pm is your thing. Hit us up with ideas.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞
Never ones to miss a lazy play on a global headline, tonight/29th August at the Tap Room we're celebrating the engagement of & with an evening of back-to-back cheesy bangers, free cheese on the house and ridiculous deals on ciders. It hasn't gone unnoticed that Shepton lad Travis chose an orchard for the big photo op- the eagle eyed among you would have noticed the Slack ma girdles & Kingston Blacks hanging low on the branches surrounding the average lovers, ready for this season's harvest. Their romance is unsurprising when you think about it, given Taylor's links to the Mendips and her well documented adoration of scrumpy.

We start 7pm and end when we run out of cheese or get bored whichever is soonest.
