BSB returns to Whiteladies Road
It used to be called ‘The Strip’, attracting the sort of vertical drinking crowd you would also see in warts-and-all documentaries about Spanish holiday resorts packed with boozed-up Brits.
With the arrival of more restaurants than bars in recent years, this section of Whiteladies Road between Cotham Hill and the BBC has shaken off most of its scurrilous reputation.
But the arrival of bSb into the corner building that used to be most recently Gas & Co, and before that Henry Africa’s Hothouse, is a reminder of a bygone era.
is needed now More than ever
There was a previous bSb in what is now a Morrisons just down the road, itself former bar Henry J Beans. That was part of a mini chain of three bSBs, with others on Corn Street and the harbourside – of which the latter still remains.
Has new life been breathed into The Strip? This is one area of Bristol when food and drink businesses change with an alarming regularity. Only time will tell if this latest new bar can last the distance.
