The 30 Best Museum in Bristol

“I eat here regularly. The hog breakfast is great value for money, the only thing that doesn't come with it is a taxi home, because that's what you will need when you're done. The staff are great, warm and welcoming and the food is always fantastic. A great example of a traditional local Cafe”

“Free entry for visitors. Ground floor and first floor has the exhibition. Second floor is great for city view. They have a lovely cafe and shop. Really enjoyed our visit to M Shed, must place to go.”

“Newark Park is a real hidden gem! We had such a wonderful time exploring both the house and its stunning grounds. The historic house itself is fascinating, and the volunteers inside were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing all sorts of interesting stories about its rich past. It felt like stepping back in time while still being warmly welcomed. The outdoor spaces are just as impressive – beautiful gardens, open lawns, wooded walks, and plenty of spots to simply sit and enjoy the scenery. We were delighted to see peacocks gracefully wandering around, adding an extra touch of charm to the day. For families or anyone looking for some active fun, the summer activities were fantastic. We loved seeing games like outdoor chess, croquet, badminton, skipping, and more set up on the lawns. It really gave the visit a playful, relaxed atmosphere. The mix of history, nature, and hands-on fun makes Newark Park perfect for all ages. Whether you want a peaceful walk, a bit of history, or a family day outdoors, it has it all. We left feeling happy, relaxed, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!”

“Beautiful and clean pub with lots of character, and a lovely garden. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and presented well and the wait was less than 10 minutes. Will definitely be coming back again! Really do recommend.”

“Had a absolutely lovely Sunday roast pork today. Started with a prawn cocktail which was more then I expected size wise. The roast was cooked just right , great Yorkshire pudding to match. Service was quick , polite and checked on how our food was and checked if there was anything they could do. 10/10 on all counts. Was also unusual for someone from Australia to eat in a pub that was built in 1590. Great atmosphere,well done to all”

“Lovely place to stay for my family of four. Very comfortable and the self-catering kitchen was good. A bit out of the town, but that suited us perfectly. Very welcoming staff - the warden even lent us a map. Lots of walking on the doorstep of the hostel. We walked to Duster Castle, through the woods. Would happily stay there again.”

“LOVEEE, my second time going, although i will say sometimes the topics they choose to display can be quite disappointing and not interesting but i guess everyone’s taste is different”

“I attended a free hands-on science exhibition with my 4 and 6 year old at the weekend, and it was brilliant. It kept us all entertained for a few hours on an Autumn afternoon. It was very well organised with 3 rooms full of science stations, each one offering an experiment, craft activity or demonstration, and all the volunteers were great, very knowledgable, enthusiastic and engaging with the children. What a great event- thank you!”

“A great place to walk in the centre of Bristol! Queen Square is a beautiful historic park with green lawns and trees where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the city. There are plenty of cafes and shops around, and the square itself is great for strolling or just enjoying the quiet of the city centre. It is especially pleasant here on sunny days. A great place for a family weekend or relaxing after work.”

“Amazing service, friendly, always on time. I always recommend his service to my colleagues.”

“Wonderful old wood. Beautiful trees, lovely stream and a lovely walk.”

“This is a big pub with a large dining area and also some hotel rooms. It grew on us. There's nice outdoor seating for the sunny weather and good quality ales. Service is excellent and the place is clean. We first visited just for a quick pint. We went back the next day for a meal. There's limited vegetarian options but the aubergine dish we had was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We were very impressed with the food, and with the decor in the more modern areas. The building has a fascinating history, which is worth reading about. All in all, I strongly recommend a visit here.”

“City Cafe acts as the pumping heart of my chosen city - Bristol. It would be easy to boil this down to the large range of affordable delicious options they offer (both meat and veggie) and the unbelievably quick service they provide, but even this praise would be selling it short. I can say without hesitation that what makes City Cafe truly outstanding is the personable and charming staff and customer service provided without fail. Ahmed, Murat, and Soloman (and that's just to name a few) are genuine guys whose hearts lie with their business. Along with all of their fresh quality ingredients, you'll find yourself tasting something a little bit unplaceable spread evenly throughout your beautifully jam-packed halloumi wrap. This is in fact: love. If you're looking to challenge yourself in 2025, try this. Place your order at City Cafe, have a chat with those blue-polo-shirted studs, and try not to fall head over heels for them! Mark my words, you're bound for failure. But not before you're bound for a mouth full of exciting flavours and tastes. Get down there as soon as you can and show some support to the soulful staple of Bristol...City Cafe. Maybe I'll see you there...who knows. City Cafe is what dreams are made for, and I'll tell you that for nothing.”

“Friendly staff and punters. Parking was awkward as they had film crews taking up the car park when I visited, but I assume this is not a normal thing. However the food was very good and the portion size was very generous. I had a burger and it was superb.”

“The staff provided a Wake buffet for a third time. The food was good quality, plentiful, well presented and exceptional value. Thank you to both the kitchen and bar staff.”

“I had a lovely stay at The Malt House, when visiting for a wedding at Berkeley Castle. It's a great location for walking to the castle. I had a very generously sized room and the most delicious breakfast! Although the hotel and location were great my absolute favourite thing was the staff - everyone was so kind, warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a good stay and made me feel so comfortable while staying by myself.”

“Cute little Rooms with everything you need, a clean and nice Kitchen with all utensils necesarry and very friendly hosts which even made vegan Breakfast for us.”

“This was for a pre booked Christmas meal with family. Great food and service and the table looked nice with runner and crackers. The only thing missing was, once we were seated, no one came to just greet us and let us know how long food would be, etc. Otherwise everything was great. Thank you”

“The Priory is local to us & we have thought about booking the restaurant for quite some time, but I find it hard to try new places. We were gifted a voucher for the restaurant last Xmas, so last week we finally used it. We booked via the website & added our usual request for quiet area as ASD. I have to say I was apprehensive, but I was very impressed. From the moment we arrived the service was excellent and the staff so friendly. I felt VERY comfortable here, which for a first visit, is high praise indeed! We sat in the panel room, with dark wood panelled walls. As they were quieter on the evening we came, they gave me a choice of table, which I really appreciated! (I would book this table again in the future!) We were looked after by David, & he was great - just the right balance of attentiveness! We chose from the three course set menu and the food was delicious. Hubby had cured smoked duck to start, I had smoked ham hock and jalapeño croquettes - the duck was so tender & the croquettes crispy & melty inside. We both had the pork loin for mains, with triple cooked chips & roasted Jerusalem artichokes to share. Again, we couldn’t fault anything. The pork loin was slightly pink and melted in your mouth, the chips were amazing & the artichokes were gorgeous. A great pairing! Finally we decided on the Orange & Almond cake & the cheese board to finish, which we also shared. Again, perfection! Another point for us is, as real ale drinkers, so often you find that restaurants in hotels skip on the cask ales, but The Priory have their own pale ale as well as one of our favourites - Bath Ales, Gem! Thank you for a lovely evening, our first visit but definitely not our last.”

“As a campus, it's one of the best you'll find. It's large considering the number of students BSU has as well as being absolutely beautiful, with nature at every turn. Walks are always magical and campus is very convenient, being not so large that the SU is impossibly far from Lakeside; but not so small that you can't go on a leisurely walk. Staff and students are also nothing but polite and respectful.”

“Absolutely loved our meal at Bandook! The chicken and lamb biryani were full of flavour – tender meat and fragrant rice. Would be great to have a spice-level option for the lamb. The samosa chaat was delicious but could use two samosas instead of one, especially for sharing. The fish and chicken wings were both standout – crispy, juicy, and packed with flavour. Washed it all down with a super refreshing nimboo pani. Friendly service and great atmosphere. A couple of small tweaks and it would be perfect. Highly recommend the restaurant. It is a bit on the pricy side which you'd expect for the area!”

“It's a cold and wet Wednesday afternoon but there is a wood fire burning and warming friendly staff , what more do you need oh yes amazing beer selection. We will be back.”

“Been going to this coffee shop regularly for the last 7 months since I moved locally. Great service and great quality coffee and snacks overall. But the main reason for my review is to shoutout the lady with short brown hair and glasses (sorry never caught her name) she makes the best cappuccinos at the perfect temperature every time! The shop also sells duck food which I love.”

“Great pub! Been here a few times over the past week, they sell proper cider and the locals/regulars are all friendly. Also, love dogs!”

“A 2 part bar with a pool lounge one side and a proper high stool bar in the other. They have 2 great tables at a pound each for pool, open mic nights on Tuesdays and a dart board that's free to use! Nice selection of drinks and a great comedy club in the basement. One of my go-tos for a night out in Bath every time.”

“This the place I would be in good and bad…”

“Had a lovely meal with my Mum, Great value and wide choice of food. Recent refurbishment real success. Great colour scene and chairs were very comfortable. Staff were so friendly and helpful could not fault quality of service.”

“A lovely pub, relaxed and warm atmosphere. Good choice of drinks and friendly, prompt service. We were there on curry night and would highly recommend the meal deal, we also had desert (bounty cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding). One curry choice, homemade and tasty. Really lovely food, and the chips were homemade and great!”

“Shannise was really helpful and took time to show me around the gym and pool areas prior to booking my membership. Shannise was professional and took the time to take me through the flexible offer of the gym and pool and also the classes as well. Very easy process and also provided a blue light discount on membership as well.”

“Popped in for dinner Saturday just gone, instantly felt very warmly welcomed. Beautiful place, especially with the fire glowing. The menu & food preparation was explained clearly to us and we were encouraged to have a look around and not stay stuck to our table. The food came out and was absolutely incredible, we both were very satisfied and went home feeling very stuffed. We would definitely visit again.”
