Welcome to the first in our series of City Spotlights, where we will be giving a little insight into the UK’s many different metropolis’ and letting you in on a few secrets the common guidebook often fails to include.
As this is the first offering in the series, we thought we’d delve a little deeper into Bristol - the South West’s creative hub (and home to one of the country’s most distinctive accents).
Bristol is a real creative hub and arguably the South West’s most vibrant city. On foot, its diverse architecture is makes it a pleasure to navigate - and if you keep your eyes peeled, you’ll find it a place of many hidden gems.
At a glance, here a a few highlights...
Eating and Drinking
Bristol is fast becoming known as an excellent source of craft beer, and as a result, there are many great bars to grab a truly unique brew. The Grain Barge is perhaps the most quirky, as it is pretty what you’d expect from the title: a pub on a double-decker barge on the historic Bristol Harbour. Great views and a fine selection of award-winning ales from the South West make it a top place to grab an ale or two.
Ambient, raw and stripped-back, Gloucester Road’s, The Urban Standard has a cool American industrial feel to it, but with a fine Bristolian twist. This little gem is popular amongst locals and offers a whole host of ales, from obscure microbrews to Belgian Trappist ales that will blow your socks off! The menu offers up hearty English and American comfort food classics ands they go a crackling roast on a Sunday.
