THE BARS OF BRISTOL

Bristol has a great diversity of bars in the city and there is healthy competition between venues seeing places retain their old world charm, which can only be good news for the visitor. There are not that many trendy bars in the city, but there are exceptions such as Ether or the Severnshed, so most of the drinking is done in traditional style pubs.

At weekends the bars are heaving full of the young set and of course all ages too, enjoying their night out and don’t be surprised if you come across a lively bar full of screeching girls and macho boys laughing and shouting which can be a little intimidating for the foreign tourist, but will realise sooner than later that its all good natured fun and entertainment.
Along the harbour you will come across E-Shed, Torches and Brannigan. These are trendy joints for the younger generation and are full of the dressed up types all engrossed in the chatting up game.

If you want a more quieter crowd, check out the Arnolfini and the Watershed around the harbour which attract the more arty crowd and are less noisy.

If you want a lively boisterous bar full of entertainment and noise, head down King Street which is a cobbled street full of old style ancient pubs brimming full of nautical history. At the end of this street is Bar Med which attracts the younger generation.

Corn Street has its fair share of bars and places like the Slug and Lettuce attract the younger generation.
If its a quieter bar you seek, you may have to go to the edges of the city to places like the Hope and Anchor which has a great beer Garden and is only 10 minutes from the centre. Around Clifton is the Coronation Tap, which sell the West country’s favourite tipple, the famous cider. This is sold in only half pints due to it being so potent. So enjoy and bottoms up!
