In Bristol we’re always much more likely to build a bar underground than on the top of a grand skyscraper. While we don’t have the latter, we are more than well-served with the former especially in the Old City. The Doghouse is the newest bar to make its home in a centuries-old space. Cocktails and spirits on offer here can be drunk if you so desire while having a little wiggle to the DJs playing most nights of the week. There's also a fine selection of wines thanks to bartender Phillipe Bonneau from France, who also just happens to be a brand ambassador to a particular fine company from over the Channel.

Let your competitive spirit take over at Kongs. If vintage arcade games such as stone-cold classics Street Fighter II or PacMan aren’t your style, give your wrists a workout on the table football table or don your coolest headband on the table tennis table where a ricocheting shot could end up behind the bar. Lagers are not frowned upon here with an international selection that includes Sierra Nevada from the USA, Affligem from Belgium and Birra Moretti from Italy. Ciders on tap are Thatchers Gold and Symonds.

Beer everywhere. There are literally hundreds of choices in the ‘Emp’. Don’t be fooled by the small bottle shop on street level. Three vaulted cellars downstairs play host to more beer than anywhere else in Bristol. An ever changing selection comes from all four corners of the globe as well as closer to home, often in the shape of breweries including Wiper & True and Ashley Down, who share premises in St Werburgh’s, and Towles from Easton. Belgian beers are celebrated every Wednesday, with 10% off and 250 bottles from which to choose.

Collaboration is the name of the game at the Urban Standard, a bar that's seen the coming together of the teams behind the former Urban Wood on Colston Street (now the second Roasemarino restaurant) and Moreish on Chandos Road. The result is a bar that those with a misspent youth will remember as an amusement arcade. It’s now just as fun, swapping one armed bandits for Wiper & True beer – the gold standard for Bristol breweries and an easy way of knowing a good pub, bar or restaurant in the city if you see one of their distinctive bottles. Up to five beers can be on tap here at any time, including Arbor Transatlantic PA.

Whisky is the drink of choice Woods, a near-legendary after-hours drinking den just off Park Street. When other bars start battening down the hatches for the night, Woods is just coming alive – unlike the butterflies, moths and assorted animal skulls that make up most of the decoration on the walls. The Woods is split into three distinct areas. Prop up the bar downstairs, sit back in the Chesterfield sofas upstairs or head outside to a small courtyard area. There are some 50 Scotch malts to choose from, alongside selections from America, Ireland and Japan.

Lock your bicycle to the anchor outside; order a drink underneath the trombones, trumpets and tubas fashioned into a light; and then take a seat next to the time machine. The Old Bookshop is nothing ordinary and features almost as many animals as Farthing Wood – but of the stuffed variety rather than the living, breathing kind. An open-minded music policy has seen appearances from the likes of Bristol jazz chanteuse Beth Rowley and bands with more members than you could think could possibly fit onto the tiny stage inside.

If cider is a West Country institution, then the Apple is its spiritual home. Come the summer and its outside seating area is invariably packed. Come the winter and hunker down for the night with a drink of mulled cider in hand under a heater or a blanket. If you think the floor beneath your feet is moving, it might not just be the cider talking – the Apple is located on a former Dutch barge now moored permanently at the end of King Street. It's fermented apple juice all the way, and what a selection. With names like Tractor Fuel, you’d be wise to line your stomach.

Located on the Bath Rd in the creative hub that is Paintworks, Bocabar is a real jewel in this end of town’s crown. The space is vast and open, which is hardly surprising given it is the top floor of a warehouse space used for events. However, despite its size, it somehow still manages to feel cosy. This is probably down to the mish mash of rustic furniture, curios, fairy lights, rugs, artwork and toys (kids are very welcome here and the space is perfect for buggies).

Everything Else
If you like rum, you’re in luck at the Rummer – although the shared monikers is just a happy coincidence. With more than 400 premium spirits from around the globe, it may well be the largest collection in Bristol. Recent addition Cap Savanna Rum comes from Reunion Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. An espresso martini and roaring log fire can also warm the cockles on a cold winter’s night or a day spent exploring the stalls at nearby St Nick’s Market.

French cuisine finely cooked, staff very polite and prices medium-high but considering the location and food quality, I think they are fair. Bristol gin&tonic was delicious. Fresh fish well cooked and nice selection of cheeses...

This is the best steak restaurant in Bristol. Pasture restaurant is a celebration of fire-based cooking and incredible local ingredients. The in-house butchers handpick and prepare the very best meat from farms in the south west and our chefs use it to cook beautiful, modern dishes.
