About

The Strawberry Thief is a multi award-winning independent beer bar in Bristol's old city. Inspired by continental style bars they stock over seventy of the most famous and revered Belgian and UK craft beers and ciders, fine wines, and premium spirits. With relaxed and friendly table-service they are a special haven where life can slow down.

The food is essentially their love letter to the classic kitchens of Europe. This might be anything from a fish stew originally cooked up by fishermen on day boats off the coast of Livorno to a classic confit duck leg paired with local seasonal vegetables. As an inclusive bar they welcome all with a large offering of vegan and gluten-free dishes.

Their home, Broad Street, was a creative hub of printmaking, a theme that inspired the decor and ambience of the bohemian surroundings. The name originates from the William Morris print that adorns the bar, once printed in the stunning Edward Everard Building directly across the street, now the home of the Clayton Hotel Bristol.

So whether you’ve just finished shopping, relaxing after work, pre-theatre dining, catching up with friends or celebrating something special; The Strawberry Thief team are waiting to welcome you!
