Robin Hood's Retreat was until recently the name of a pub, later pub/restaurant, in Bristol. After a change of owners the place reincarnated in 2014 as The Grace.^[1]

Between them 'The Gloucester Road Story' and 'UK Pub History Research and London Historical Street Directory' list the following information from trade directories for this pub:

1890. Publican: John Harris.^[2]
1900. Publican: John Harris.^[3]
1910. Publican: George Garraway.^[4]
1914. Publican: George Garraway.^[5]
1921. Publican: Henry Lewis Tripp.^[6]
1931. Publican: Henry Lewis Tripp.^[7]
1938. Henry Louis Tripp.^[5]
1939. Publican: Henry Lewis Tripp.^[8]
1950. Publican: Rt. Chas. Powles.^[9]
1962.^[10]
1970.^[11]

'Robin Hood's Retreat' may sound fancy and modern, but in fact the pub was known under that name from at least as early as 1890.
