Bristol pubs you don't need to book a table at before visiting from April 12 These boozers will all operate on a first come, first-served basis after they reopen Updated The outdoor seating area at the Tobacco Factory (Image: Tobacco Factory) Many of us can't wait for pubs to reopen on Monday, but there are also lots of us who don't like having to pre-book places before we visit. Whether it's because you don't like having to fill out forms or because you're someone whose plans change as frequently as Bristol's tiers changed in December, sometimes it's nice to be able to rock up without having to make a reservation.
