Your Guide to Hiring Private Bars in Bristol
Bristol is a town well known for its vibrant and exciting nightlife. You will find no shortage of bars here, whatever your particular needs. From pubs to cocktail bars, wine bars and private bar function rooms, this city has just what you need. Many of these places will allow you to hire the whole venue, although some can offer private bars or function spaces away from the main tap room. It’s worth noting that some locations offer live music that may or may not conflict with your plans for your event, especially if you want to have your own music or a DJ, so check with the venue manager ahead of time.
Start your hunt in the Old City, in this district you can find a wide variety of pubs and clubs of every size to suit all tastes, some even with waterfront views. If you look south and across the river, there are some more traditional bars in Wapping Wharf and along Redcliffe Way. Heading up north, away from the Avon towards Broadmead and Brandon you will encounter more venues, including The Milk Thistle, a four-floor cocktail bar with a hidden entrance which is sure to delight those with adventurous guests!
