The Hatchet Inn is an historic public house situated on Frogmore Street in the English city of Bristol. It is a Grade II listed building.[1] The name is thought to originate from the axes/hatchets that the local woodsmen used in Clifton Woods.[2]
The building dates from 1606, but has undergone significant alteration since[3] and is a grade II listed building.[1]
Since the 1980s the Hatchet has been known as one of Bristol's few alternative pubs hosting rock music upstairs.[4][2] The pub has a pool room located upstairs as well as a venue which is used for clubs and can be hired for private bookings. There is a beer garden located on the side of the property, facing the O2 Academy venue.[5]
Located behind the pub was the old Cannon Cinema, which closed down in 2000. The building is now an Academy Night Club/gig venue were many well known bands have played.[6]
In the 18th Century there was a Rat Pitt at the rear of the building.[6] In September 2006 the Hatchet celebrated its 400-year anniversary. The streets nearby were closed, staff and some regular customers dressed up in historic costumes.
