About

Tucked away in the cellars of Bristol’s old wine merchants, Racks Bar and Kitchen is the perfect place to visit if you’re looking for a fantastic meal made with fresh locally sourced produce, incredible drinks, and a friendly and welcoming team. From breakfast to dinner, with ever-changing daily deals and seasonal menus, Racks has you covered. Not to mention, they put on one of Bristol’s best Sunday roasts.

Racks is also home to The Pavilion, a beautiful terrace wrapping around the bar. Soak up the sunshine with a drink in hand in the garden or, if the weather is not on your side, stay cosy in the covered and heated portion. Come Winter-time, Racks undergoes it’s yearly transformation. Escape to the snowy Alps, as the terrace becomes the après-ski lodge, the perfect Christmas party venue for any festive gathering. With Alpine décor, exclusive deals and drinks, it’s the destination for Christmas parties.

Inside of Racks you will find a cosy interior with plush sofas and hidden alcoves which act as the perfect retreat during autumn and winter or to escape the warm weather in summertime. All members of the family are welcome, even down to your four-legged friends. With room to cater for between 10 to 200 people and a very experienced team, Racks is the perfect place to host private events of all shapes and sizes, from wedding receptions to corporate meetings, to private parties they can cater for all.

For select sporting events, Racks’ artworks disappear to reveal large screens, perfect for enjoying the best football and rugby matches live. With Sky Sports HD and projectors available for larger parties, it’s one of the best places in Bristol to grab a pint and watch the game.

From their daily deals to their delicious £6 lunch menu, there is always an array of bargains to be snapped up at Racks. The food is all freshly cooked by a dedicated team of chefs and served by a wonderfully friendly front-of-house team who make Racks feel like a home away from home. Find out more here!
