Food Scene

It's a short walk to the lesser known gem of Yume Kitchen on Cotham Hill. Here you can eat the best Japanese food in Bristol in a chilled out and relaxed space. Good value and next to all the bars on Cotham Hill for a late night drink after your meal.

Tucked away at the end of a bustling cul-de-sac in Clifton village, the Primrose Café is a local institution. Pop here for a great brunch to set you up for the day. Sit outside with a coffee and watch the world go by.

If you want to put on your glad rags and splash a bit of cash, this is a place to head to. Beautiful design inside, good reputation...we have yet to make it there so can't report on the food but it's one to know about.

Drinks & Nightlife

A small bar with a big wine list and a smarter atmosphere! It does serve food but we normally grab a glass of wine and a seat by the window and look out at the world.

The Lansdown is the local pub and what a local! Cosy log fires in the winter, outside cinema in the Summer...you are always sure of a warm welcome here. The pub serves a cracking roast on a Sunday but get there early if you want the full choice.

This is the place to go on a sunny afternoon. There is a huge sun terrace that looks out over the gorge, hills around Bristol and the suspension bridge. It is the bar with the best view in the city so get there if you can.

A great little boozer; the only cider house in Clifton village apparently! Live music is on regularly and this is a great local haunt for a few beers.

Shopping

Small but perfectly formed, this Victorian shopping arcade was first opened in 1878. Great for a wander around the mix of independent shops on a rainy day.

Parks & Nature

Wander down to Park St for a look in the shops, maybe grab a picnic from Boston Tea Party whilst you are there, then sit on Brandon Hill and admire the view over the city. Climb up the iconic Cabot Tower for the best views across Bristol.

This is where locals head for a walk, picnic or game of footie on a sunny day. Fab views across the Gorge and there's always an icecream van.

A hike over the suspension bridge brings you to Leigh woods or carry on to Ashton Court. Both are a great way to escape city life!

Sightseeing

This is a must see. Grab a picnic in Clifton village (Clifton Deli will make you a great one) and head up to the bridge. Follow the paths up to the Observatory and you can sit here with a fabulous view of the bridge.

Wandering along the harbour is a must for any visit. Look at the SS Great Britain, pop on a ferry, grab some food at one of the weekend markets, drink beers sitting on the harbour wall.

The anti-thesis of Clifton Village. Head here for a slice of urban life; lots of graffiti, great stops for live music in the evening like The Canteen and the Left Bank.

Visit King Street in the evening to listen to the jazz at the Old Duke where there is live music every night. Grab an awesome burger at 3 Brothers Burgers and a cider at the Apple Barge. This cobbled street has it all and people flock here in the evenings to sit out on the street, soak up the atmosphere and meet friends.

Entertainment & Activities

This is a notch up on the usual cinema experience. Plush seating on sofas with cushions, elegant and plush surroundings. It's a bit more expensive than a usual cinema but well worth it!

Dating back to 1859, this is the oldest lido in the country. Have a swim, steam and laze in their outdoor hot tub. It's a members club but there are plenty of day packages to choose from. We'd recommend the swim, tapas and wine for great value (and the food is fabulous!) or Monday - Friday you can swim and steam from 1pm - 4pm for a bargain £20. It's the place for a treat and relax!
