Your Bristol Favourites: Bars
This month, Bristol24/7 readers named their favourite bars. Here are some of the best:
The Gallimaufry
26-28 The Promenade, Gloucester Road, Bristol, BS7 8AL
“It’s the best because of the vibes, the ambience, avant-garde decoration, beer selection, better every day food… did I miss anything? Oh, the legendary open mic nights of course.” – Juan Cantalejo
Industry Bar & Kitchen
141 Gloucester Road, Bishopston, Bristol, BS7 8BA
“Great team running it. Chef is brilliant – all local food freshly cooked and the Sunday roast is epic. Menu changes on a regular basis too. Also a good selection of drinks and local beers and ciders on offer. All good value for money especially for Gloucester Road as some places are a bit pricey around there.” – Veniesa McGill

The Old Bookshop

Smoke & Mirrors

“We have so much fun at this bar. We’ve seen lots of great acts for a really good price, have jiggled along to live acts on the stage and watched close-up magic for free. Such a good atmosphere. Highly recommended for all ages – they even do family magic shows appropriate for young kiddies. Great place.” – @Lizzys_brizzle_home via Instagram
