Whether you’re in town for business or a weekend break, one thing’s for sure — Stokes Croft is the place to be when the sun goes down. And if you’re staying at one of our nearby serviced apartments in central Bristol, you’re perfectly placed to explore this buzzing part of the city on foot.

From vibrant street art to boundary-pushing creatives, Stokes Croft is the cultural heart of Bristol. But alongside its music venues, vintage shops and cafés, it also happens to be one of the best places to grab a drink — whether you’re after a local ale, a cheeky cocktail or just somewhere with a great beer garden.

So, ready to take a little tour with us? Here’s our guide to some of the top bars and pubs in and around Stokes Croft…

No. 51

No. 51 is the ultimate two-in-one!

 

Come early and you’ll find locals tucking into stone-baked pizzas and sipping cold pints under strings of fairy lights in the garden.

 

Come late, and it transforms into a full-on party with DJs, dancing and drinks flowing ’til the early hours. It’s effortlessly cool and unpretentious — just the way we like it.

The Social

Don’t be fooled by the name — The Social is anything but ordinary.

 

It’s got that stripped-back Bristol charm: wooden benches, rotating craft beers, and a crowd of laid-back locals who know a good pint when they see one.

 

Whether you’re flying solo or catching up with friends, this is the kind of place where everyone feels welcome.

The Pipe & Slippers

Ah, the Pipe. Classic Victorian pub vibes with a stylish twist.

 

Think rich wood interiors, candlelit tables, and a carefully curated drinks menu ranging from ales to cocktails.

 

It’s the kind of place where you can have a quiet drink early on or stay for the DJ until last orders.

The Hare on the Hill

Technically just a short stroll uphill from Stokes Croft, this hidden gem is worth every step.

 

The Hare is all about quality: quality beer, quality people, quality conversation.

 

A proper local with a rotating selection of real ales, a crackling fireplace in winter, and a small but loyal following year-round.

The Canteen

A true Bristol institution.

 

The Canteen sits inside Hamilton House — a creative hub for artists, musicians and community groups — and it brings that same creative energy to its food, drink and entertainment.

 

You’ll find everything from hearty vegan dishes to local ales and nightly live music… and often, all of the above at once.
