You'll never be short of bars in Bristol to reflect on the day’s adventures. Each area in the city boasts numerous options – the hardest part will be choosing which one to go to.
If it’s a fine day then a visit to the large outdoor terrace at The White Lion Bar at the Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin is not to be missed, or you can dangle your legs over the quayside at Arnolfini Harbourside Bar like a proper local. Expect a good crowd of locals and visitors if the sun is shining.
Another popular waterfront bar in Bristol is The Grain Barge, where you can sample Bristol Beer Factory’s brew while sitting on top of the barge overlooking the famous SS Great Britain. You can easily spend a whole evening sampling the different bars on Bristol's Harbourside, including Junction in Wapping Wharf and 6 O’clock Gin on The Glassboat.
For beer connoisseurs, The Strawberry Thief specialises in a range of Belgian and international beers, or you can try beer brewed on-site at King Street Brew House.
