"We’ve had two positive tests back for staff, so have no other option than all isolating for 10 days to keep everyone safe.
"We’re gutted to say the least, but will be back as soon as we’re all fit to fight another day!"
Since the pub's reopening of indoor drinking on May 17, punters will have no choice but to wait again as the pub is set to reopen in more than a week's time.
The closure comes amid what Bristol's public health boss Christina Gray has called "a sharp increase in [coronavirus] infections, both in Bristol and across the country".
