Artist Residence Bristol

About

Located in the creative St Pauls community, just minutes from Bristol's city centre, this bar & café based across a Georgian townhouse & old boot factory is an eccentric home from home in the heart of the city.

The Boot Factory at Artist Residence is a homely, laid-back affair, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, original cornicing, vintage rugs, velvet armchairs, bar and fireplace. Textured, stripped walls provide a rustic backdrop for dynamic artworks including a diamond-dust ‘Party Like it’s 1999’ original work by Dave Buonaguidi and a commissioned piece by local artist Rose Vickers, with geometric patterns made from vintage school rulers.

In the bar you'll find local beers and cocktails served alongside a casual menu - from brunch through to small plates of vibrant veggies, hearty bowl food and sourdough pizzas.

In the evenings an ever-changing, fresh and vibrant dinner menu is served in their intimate dining room, showcasing the best produce of the season.

For sunnier days, the Boot Factory also has a plant-filled courtyard garden to enjoy.
