The last surviving pub in Bristol suburb to reopen under ambitious new owners

Bristol musicians Tara Clerkin and Sunny Paradisos plan to transform the vacant Rhubarb Tavern into a community hub. The pair have reached an agreement with the pub's owner, Natan Ltd, to lease the main building. Closed since 2020, the tavern was at risk of being converted into flats. However, following resident and community group opposition, these plans were halted. The aspiring publicans aim to crowdfund between £40,000 and £60,000 for renovations, promising a music venue, microbrewery, music studios, pottery workshops, and space for local food traders. If successful, the Rhubarb Tavern will reopen by spring 2024.
