Bristol Tomorrow - Any Recommendations?, by Feral Things on Apr 15, 2013 20:57:53 GMT 1, Here's some recommendations for anyone visiting Bristol. If you wanna see pieces by a particular writer/artist I'd be happy to help anyone out with locations.
Graffiti spots
- Stokes Croft and the adjacent streets like Jamaica Street, Ashley Road & Moon Street
- Dean Lane Skate Park/Dame Emily Park - Bristol's main Hall of Fame
- Nelson Street - where See No Evil has been held for the last couple of years
- Mina Road tunnel - near the City Farm which does great breakfasts and lunch
- The College site - bit of a trek if you haven't got a car
Galleries
- Art El - on the corner of Nelson Street, Represent Mr Jago, Rowdy, SheOne and co.
- Weapon of Choice - run by Cheba and next to Banksy's Hanginng Man
- King of Paint - good place to buy paint too if you're planning on getting up
- Royal West of England Academy - sometimes great, sometimes uninspiring
- Bristol Museum - the only public gallery I can think of with two Banksy's on show
Restaurants
- Boca Bar - really good pizza and mezze
- Maitreya Social - fantastic veggie restaurant
- Prego - really good Italian
- Noa - Mmm, sushi
- Cafe Kino - cooperatively run cafe conveniently located if you're checking out graffiti
Bars
- The Woods - best whisky collection in town; which is definition of a good bar
- The Apple - best cider collection in town
- The Old Duke - fantastic live jazz, especially on a Friday night
- Hyde and Co - never been able to decide if this place is really swanky or just plain wanky
- Thekla - more of a club than a bar but I've had many a happy night here over the years

Bristol Tomorrow - Any Recommendations?, by letiss on Apr 15, 2013 21:25:23 GMT 1, Cosies Cellar Bar is one of my favourite little places just off Stokes Croft. The only place I know that real ale and d&b are served.
Add Upfest Galley in Bedminster to the list below and you could get one of the remaining bugs. Or if you're just there for a short time the Harbourside is a good bet, as the Arnolfini normally has some interesting stuff on and there's the new Bristol museum there too.
