Whiteladies Road
Whiteladies RoadLoads of classy bars. On the expensive side.
This is currently my favourite bar in Bristol and really the only place I go to if I want a table. Great music if you like hip-hop and chart tracks, great people and great drinks. Table service is good, staff are pretty cool and you're better off getting a table and bottle service than standing and waiting to get served.
Dress code: You want to dress to impress
