No other flags that I could see, just an EU flag.
Strange marketing ploy to deliberately annoy and put off more than half your potential customers.
Maybe they don't want Brexiteer customers?
If so, mission accomplished - our refreshment money went elsewhere and I doubt we were alone.
Leavers are such snowflakes
To be fair, if I planned to go somewhere (say a pub) and when I turned up there was a big 'Leave Means Leave' banner on display, or something similar, I would almost certainly go somewhere else.
Maybe I am a snowflake as well

I don't see many people being put off by that to be honest. Bristol has plenty of 'spoons for anyone offended by an EU flag. And don't forget, 'Spoons recently dropped the price by 20p a pint thereby admitting they were overcharging, and that its possible to reduce prices whilst in the EU.
