Arts & Culture
A very lively, trendy community-run cafe/bar open all day/evenings. Great menu (and live music sometimes). A pretty cool place to hang out and get a feel for Bristol's music scene. Free entry and live music every night plus some interesting, left-field goings-ons in the event spaces upstairs. It's only a ten minute walk away (next to a huge Banksy mural) what's not to love?!
