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]

'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.
