New restaurant, bar and music venue coming to Prince Street
The Den, opening on May 30 with a gig by Laid Blak, will encompass a wide variety of elements.
Located within a Grade II-listed former warehouse on Prince Street, it will be home to a collective of independent Bristol businesses including a restaurant, juice and cocktail bar, hair studio, music studio, and live performance area.
Owners have secured a 7am to 3am licence and envisage a day-to-night venue, with the food and drink from Rebecca Du Plessis of Beets N Roots on Cotham Hill; a hair studio run by the Matthew Haile of Level Cuts; and a basement with film editing and music post-production facilities.
is needed now More than ever
The 180-capacity venue will feature graffiti across three arches by acclaimed Bristol street artist Inkie, and a mural of Bob Marley by Luke Grey.
The Den will open later this month in what was previously Warehouse nightclub, between El Puerto and a new Friska cafe that is due to open in June
Du Plessis said: “The Den will fill a gap in Bristol’s current music scene. We want to create something a little different from the broad mix of venues currently in the city by bringing that much needed eclecticism back to Bristol’s heartbeat.
“The opportunity to combine energising life-affirming recipes with roll-on after-hours live entertainment is a combination I believe the city has long been waiting for.
“As a native Bristolian I have watched decades of the music scene grow from strength to strength so it’s very exciting for us to be able to develop a new, soulful, laid-back space that will support so many facets of both the established and emerging talent base alongside a new vegetarian food spot to the centre.”
