Best Nightlife in Greenbank

"Get your weekend off to great start with French toast on Riverstation's outdoor terrace. The stunning waterside restaurant is a no-brainer when it comes to the best brunch places in Bristol, offering beautiful views and top-notch scran, such as cured trout and pickled fennel on focaccia."

"It may be a deck as opposed to a rooftop but the views you get up on Grain Barge match some bars higher above sea level. The Grain Barge started its life as an engineless transport barge that carried barley and wheat from Bristol to Cardiff across the Severn Estuary, but now you can enjoy a few bevvys on board their top deck. Sipping local cider, hearing the hubbub by the waterside and taking in views of Bristol Harbour are exactly the ways you should spend a summer weekend."

"The Hotwells boat is opening its top deck up for alfresco dining & drinks with table service only. Address: Hotwell Rd, Bristol BS8 4RU"

"Earlier this year Bambalan made improvements to its rooftop bar with the addition of new lighting, patio heaters and a DJ booth, and it has given its food offering a boost with the launch of a new Mediterranean-inspired breakfast and brunch menu, which runs seven days a week. In line with the existing lunch and evening menu. the breakfast and brunch menu takes inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, featuring dishes such as Shakshuka, priced at £8, and spiced beans with Merguez sausages or 'Dirty Beans' (£9)."

"Possibly one of the top outdoor dining spots in the city for views, Bambalan is an urban paradise. Located in the heart of the city up in the Beacon Tower, this rooftop bar has a magical tropical vibe, especially during the evenings. Bambalan’s terrace has plenty of outdoor seating as well as canopies to take cover from the unpredictable British weather."

"The Arnolfini art gallery is legendary among Bristolians, and not just for the incredible exhibitions that are on display. As well as being home to a cafe-bar that’s perfect for enjoying a post-exhibition coffee or glass of wine, there’s also an in-house bookshop boasting a range of different specialist publications. In the summer months, locals love sitting outside the building to enjoy the harbour views."

"Housed in a prominent Grade II listed building, their cafe expands to offer harbourside seating in summer months. The gallery was created in the early 1960’s with the vision of showcasing new, experimental and underrepresented art work. Since then, Bristol’s International Centre for Contemporary Arts has shown the work of thousands of artists from all over the world to millions of people."

"Barton St Wine is a wine bar, cafe and shop based on an Italian concept known as an enoteca. The website states: "An enoteca combines the different elements of wine shop, wine bar and cafÈ altogether and provides an unfussy, informal environment to eat simple but good quality dishes and enjoy wine without the pressure of feeling the need to demonstrate wine knowledge.". They host a weekly live music night, a range of board games and other events including wine tastings and language conversational classes."

"A brilliant place to drink in Bath, The Canon is offering you tasty tipples in a great location. Grab a table by the window and gaze out over the Theatre Royale as you enjoy freshly-poured ales, handmade cocktails and a range of delicious food, suited for both meat-eaters and vegans."

"Café by day, tapas joint by night, ethically focused Poco (crowned Business of the Year at the Food Made Good Awards 2018, for the second time) is a long-time member of the thriving indie community of Bristol, with food and drink menus featuring seasonal, British and often organic produce. The varied but cohesive collection of small plates (which is chalked up on the back wall alongside the producers whose ingredients it stars) is illustrative of Ian’s imagination and skill. Sweet corn fritters are far more exciting than the image they conjure, and come loaded with jalapeño and rich crumbs of chocolate to offset that sweetness."

"Why we love it: Ethical and sustainable are buzzwords in the food and drink industry these days but some restaurants often only pay them lip service. Not so Poco, which weighs its rubbish every day and then composts or recycles at least 95 percent of it, with the ultimate aim of producing no waste. Poco’s commitment to the environment doesn’t stop there – the majority of its ingredients are sourced from the UK, most of the vegetables come from community farms in the Bristol area, and only served fish caught in Lyme Bay and certified by the Marine Conservation Society."

"A tapas restaurant launched with the planet in mind, Bristol’s Poco Tapas Barwas named the most sustainable restaurant of the year in 2016 thanks to its commitment to the zero waste movement. Food is seasonal and changes often, but classic dishes include deep fried oysters and pork belly with fennel."

"Located in a historic venue overlooking Weston-super-Mare’s beautiful Italian Gardens, The Imperial is a long-standing pub. A stylish and modern interior welcomes guests looking to try a range of ciders, beers, and hand-picked wines, with a menu of modern British cuisine to accompany them."

"Another place I wish got shouted about more – Adelina Yard turns out some truly spectacular dishes in very understated surroundings, which is my kinda restaurant – I hate pomp and ceremony. Chef Jamie Randall is all about making local ingredients sing, and the plates always arrive looking gorgeous too. They’ve got a small terrace at the back of the restaurant which overlooks the river if you want some scenery while you eat."

"Adelina Yard is cosy yet chic, with a standout menu that would rival any starred restaurant. The clever duo behind the waterside hideaway Jamie and Olivia really know how to cook up a treat with their impeccable small plates. Both chefs have an impressive history of working in some of London and Bristol’s best restaurants, together they have crafted menu that is both imaginative and provocative."

"Home of the sour-dough-nut, Pinkmans Bakery is a right of passage when in Bristol. Their delicious doughnuts are individually hand rolled then fried to give a super light texture, making for a moreish dessert. Their latest sour-dough-nut flavours include rhubarb; raspberry and white chocolate; vanilla cream and raspberry jam; honeycomb mousse; and chocolate pecan brownie."

"Pinkmans is famous for its sourdough doughnuts, which definitely live up to the hype. They also serve a range of other pastries and cakes, which err on the side of modern French patisserie while retaining a laidback vibe. Based on Park Street, it’s always bustling, but you’ll likely find a spot on one of the communal tables at the back."

"About – This isn’t your typical bakery, this is where you’ll find some of Bristol’s best cakes!. Freshly made bakes here will have you wanting to come back!. They offer anything from sweet shortcakes to delicious Bakewell tarts to rich indulgent brownies."

"La Piazza 1 is a true gem – hearty Italian cooking, friendly service and excellent prices. Next time you’re looking for somewhere to take the family, you could do a lot worse than here."
