The Hatchet Inn is an historic public house situated on Frogmore Street, Bristol, England a few minutes walk from the city centre.
It dates from 1606 but has undergone significant alteration since[1] and is a grade II listed building.[2]
Since the 1980's the Hatchet has long been associated as one of Bristols few Alternative pubs and remains popular with students, goths, punks and emos. 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 are regular DJ's on Friday and Saturday evenings.
In the 18th Century there was a Rat Pitt at the rear of the building.
Local legend has it that the front door, beneath the paint and tar is covered with human skin.
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.
