Can anyone recommend some cool, unusual high quality bars/restaurants/cafes in Bristol?

King Street sounds like the place to start. Then we go over to Baldwin Street and torch that shop that isn't just a shop, it's a "hub for Bristol's creatives".
 
It's bad enough they wrecked Stokes Croft without them starting on Town as well. Town's supposed to be for normal people
 
I almost moved there when I got divorced, but the house I was going to buy was full of wet and dry rot, so I decided to stay put. So pleased actually, as I now realise I don't want to live anywhere more than about a mile from here.
 
I have realised that there are two kinds of hipsters. the stokescroft / greenbank ones and then the townie ones who are just dressing like that cos it's what is being sold in topman.

More than that I reckon but we shouldn't discriminate. Kill em all. With craft swords and artisan fire
 
The Navel Volunteer's like that now? :facepalm: I haven't been in since it re-opened couple of months ago. I still fondly remember when they had barrels of monkey nuts you could help yourself too and were expected to just chuck the shells on the floor.
 
I think the OP has forgotten about this thread - either that or we have scared her off :D
 
Walked into the Naval Volunteer the other day. Couldn't understand their fucking price list so walked out again.
 
I notice their address is 17-18 King Street, Harbourside, Bristol. Since when did this become an official postal district in Bristol?

Postal districts are denoted by the first discrete alphanumeric part of a postcode. You can write anything or nothing in between the house number or house name and the postcode.

They is an official region name associated with each postal district and usually a region covers more than one district. You can derive it from ONS data. You can also work out which town/areas that postal district includes.

Oh, and area names can be the same as region names, just to confuse further.

I've got them somewhere if you're interested.

One fine establishment I've been trying to work out is the Duke of Sussex on Sussex Place, St Pauls. It looks like a pub but I never see anyone in there and I live down the road so walk by quite often. I went in back in 2011 when we were doing a BS2 pub crawl the day of the royal wedding after arguing with my friends that it hadn't been a pub for years. Was proved wrong when the landlord, an old Irish fella who was decorating the place put down his paintbrush and welcomed us in.

Proper old school, only two pumps and no lager on draught something I have never seen before and I've been going to pubs since 1985! Thinking this must have been a one off I went in recently on the way home from work for a quick (bottled) lager and the old fella was still there on his own. Have decided it must be a money-laundering operation for Colombian drug lords as I cannot see how a pub survives this long with no customers yet is open every night??? :hmm:
 
'Harbourside' :rolleyes:
It's 'Town' and nothing else. If they want to live somewhere twee then Bath's thataway

Thanks, the Duke of Sussex has always confused me too!
