The Love Bristol Gift Card can be used at more than 180 businesses across the city including retailers, restaurants, theatres and music venues.

The Love Bristol Gift Card is brought to you by Bristol City Centre BID, Redcliffe & Temple BID and Broadmead BID.
Here are just a few of the ways you can put your Love Bristol Gift Card to good use across the city...

Pre-theatre dinner and tickets to a show
The Love Bristol Gift Card is perfect for this, as it can be spent on theatre tickets at both Bristol Old Vic and Bristol Hippodrome, as well as tickets to shows at Bristol Beacon and St George's.
Contain the pre-show excitement with a meal at some of Bristol’s finest eateries - opt for small plates and cocktails at Cosy Club, classic cuts at The Cow & Sow, steak cooked on a hot stone at Mugshot or crowd-pleasing pizzas at Franco Manca in the Old City.
If you're looking for some al fresco eats, Harbour House has a harbourside terrace, or you can enjoy 2-for-1 cocktails, mezze and pizza on the large, colourful terrace at Bambalan.

A meal and a bottle wine with friends
Italian restaurants in the city centre include Bella Vista with its stunning harbour views, L'Osteria with its giant pizzas in Quakers Friars, or Molto Buono and Taste of Napoli with their regional specialities. Wine bar Le Vignoble has wine on tap - costing just pennies for a taster, you can try as many as your heart desires or go straight for a full glass of your favourite!
Chocolatey treats for a sweet tooth
After an exciting day shopping, indulge in chocolatey goodness at Hotel Chocolat in Cabot Circus or Mrs Potts Chocolate House on Park Street.
