About Us:

As the team have been living in Bristol all of our lives and are constantly asked where the best place to go is, we felt the need to explain & recommend the superb nightlife of Bristol.

We know Bristol like the back of our hands, we go out almost every weekend to see whats going on in the clubbing scene & to monitor any changes to the bars & clubs. We review clubs from the publics point of view, not like other Bristol websites that rate clubs based on what clubs pay.

There are alot of Bristol related sites cropping up, but most of them are owned by a venue in Bristol trying to promote themself's, giving people false information about other bars & night clubs.. Bristol Nightlife.com offers you a true, non biased review of bars & clubs... No false information will be found here.

Members from our team, age between 18 - 25 and therefore know what younger people like & dislike. This is why we can without a doubt provide you with a clear and accurate review of Bristol city centre's bars & night clubs.

We concentrate on the town centre as it is the place to be for a excellent night out. If you have never been to Bristol, you will most likely get attracted to the most obvious bars and nightclubs...

This is where our role comes into place, to pin point you in the right direction for a seriously good night out.

There are a few bars and small clubs missing, however all of the best venues have been reviewed, but we keep adding and wont stop until all of Bristol's venues are covered that are worthy of a good night out! We are the biggest and best site dedicated to the nightlife in bristol.

Comments & Questions - Feel free to ask questions or post an event

  1. Hi Sophie, most clubs are 18+ - only Oceana on Saturday nights are 21+

  2. is there a age restriction on most clubs of 21 ?

  3. Hi Shaun, most bars down the waterfront are usually open during the week, so if you want a few pints then head down there.. otherwise the Thekla (Boat bar/club) usually plays indie, and they are open on Tuesday. Check the clubbing map for the location.

  4. Are there any bars or clubs open Tuesday nights till late anywhere in Bristol? Preferably playing indie music. I'd be going after a gig at the Academy but taxiing away from the centre wouldn't be a problem.

  5. Hi Emily, Oceana is over 18's only but there are certain nights they hold for under 18's.. see previous posts for details

  6. Is Thiss Oceana Bar In Bristol An Over 18 Bar Onlyy? um under 18

  15. Group of good looking guys coming to Bristol for the weekend in March 12-13th.... any good looking girls willing to meet up. email: ptgiltrap@hotmail.com

  17. where is the best place to go on a fri night for a group of girls from newport xxx

  20. Hi Hannah, the only under 18's nights we are aware of is at Oceana.. I don't know any other big club that do them anymore.. and not aware of an earlier events.

  21. Whens the next under 18s night anywhere? x I really want to go CLubbing but the only one i know is in Oceana on the 14th of Feb. Is there any sooner? Please answer soon xx

  22. Hi Guys, we have had an update, the Only night club open on XMAS EVE is Oceana! Panache & Syndicate are shut so Oceana will be rammed.

  23. Hi Andy, yeh we think it will be pretty busy.. Syndicate, Panache and Oceana are normally packed out.. we normally go to Syndicate for xmas eve but this year we are considering going to Panache instead, as there isn't any confimed big events!

  24. Hey, about 8 of us thinking about hitting the town on christmas eve... reckon itll be busy? if so where you thinks gunna be best?

  25. Hi guys & girls, sorry for delay.. Usual questions really.. so il cover the main bits.. if you want to get sexy and grind the dancefloor then go to Panache Bristol, if you want to take it steady and have a mixture then go to Oceana Bristol, and if you really want some hands up in the air action, let your hair down and jump up and down to some dance/trance music then head to the Syndicate Bristol. Thats for both guys & girls and they are all top night clubs so which ever one you choose you'll have a good time. For Sam, laid back clothing on a friday/saturday night doesn't really exist, if you want to have a good night, you need to dress up and make an effort. Sunday nights are not partically great, the usual will be open but it wont be as busy as a friday or saturday :)

  26. Hi, I live in NZ and coming over to Bristol to celebrate my 30th in July. Need a pub/bar/club with relaxed dress code and funky / soul type music to have a pre-party party, perhaps some where that can be separated off for me and my mates until 12-2ish. Any ideas?

  27. Hi there,

    Group of about 8 fellas from Ireland - all 20and30 somethings. Heading over for a Saturday and Sunday night in Bristol at the end of January. Any tips for a good night out/good clubs which go on into the wee small hours? Cheers

  28. Hi, where do you recommend for a group of girls (group of 9) celebrating a 21st birthday? Looking for r'n'b music, somewhere good for dancing! Thanks :)

  32. Hello again, for Friday/Saturday nights, Panache normally charge around £5 for entry, and Oceana is around £8! :)

  33. thanks! whats an estimate for entry prices for panache and oceana?

  34. Hi Grace & Hannah.. The best place for up to date music and for the ladies is Panache, take a trip over and party in style!

  35. hey wheres the best place to go for a group of girls all out for an 18th birthday. looking for up to date music. no rave or dance music though

  36. Hi Jodie, The best place for a group of girls would be Panache, they play mostly R&B with a touch of 80's - Rich, dress code for lads is always shirt / t-shirt with jeans or trousers and shoes.. Pads, the waterfront is a good place to start then head on over to some of the big clubs like Oceana, Panache or the Syndicate.

  37. Any ideas please, looking for a great club with good R&B music for a group of 14/16 girls on the 29/11/09

    any help would be great thanksx

  45. i was wondering whats happening in town tomorrow (2nd nov) as my mate is coming down from bristol!!

  46. Hi Zoe, were not aware of any planned under 18 events at Syndicate this Novemeber.. we will double check though. And for Babwshka, Redcliffe hill is 5 minute walk from the waterfront/centre so shouldnt have any issues there! Suggestions would be go to Oceana on the Friday (if your here then) and Syndicate on the Saturday! See the reviews for ideals on where to visit!

  47. Hi!

    Three of us are heading for a night out for the 1st time in Bristol on the 7th of November. Were staying in a hotel on Redcliffe Way, is The top spots far from there, and where would you recommend? we're all 24. x

  48. Hiya, just wondering if there is a under 18 night in syndicate anytime in november??

  49. Hi Mimi, The Syndicate, Panache, O2 Academy are all 18+ any night.. so you shouldn't have an issue with them... Oceana is 18+ Sunday to Friday, and is over 21's on Saturdays. Regards

  50. Hi, I'm a student in Bristol but am planning to go out with my sister who is in her twenties...just wondering which clubs we can go to on a Friday night that diesn't requite student ID for her and isn't over 21's for me...Thanks!

  51. Hello! Slightly older crowd.. ok in that case I would suggest head to the Java bar/club on college green, then Reflex for some of the older cheese, and then Panache for some R&B - Panache usually has a mixture of older & younger people! Check the clubbing map for locations! :)

  55. Enjoy a great night out meeting loads of new people at speed dating events in Bristol, held at Oceana Bristol.

  56. Hi Mike, Saturdays at Oceana is 21+ only.. the rest of the week including friday's are 18+. Oceana have just launched a new event of Thursday nights for student..

    A new era in student clubbing begins in Bristol this September with the launch of the UK's sexiest student night VANITY @ OCEANA every THURSDAY night!

    Friday nights are a normal night.. gets quite busy and they sometimes do 2 for 1 on selected drinks!

  57. hi please could you tell me if oceana on a saturday night dont let in anyone under 21? and also will there but much happening on a friday and thursday night? student nights? many thanks.

  58. Hi Lisa,

    Sunday is generally more quieter, but all the bars & clubs are still open.. so the friday & saturday night guides are still good to follow.

    However if you fancy a different approach, if you go out saturday night and feel abit rough on sunday.. we tend to recommend heading over to Cabot Circus in the evening, have a nice meal at one of the restaurants, once fnished there, head into the Cinema De Lux, also located at Cabot Circus.. Once finished in the cinema, head back out to the bars & clubs..

    Your probably wondering what is Cabot Circus? It's basically a new state of the art shopping centre with lots of restaurants and a luxury cinema.. take a look at:

    www.cabotcircusbristol.com

    This way it gives you abit of chill time (and shopping) before hitting the sauce again!

    Hope this helps

  59. Hello, I will be in Bristol the weekend after next and there is lots of info on you site for thing sto do on Sat night (many thanks BTW) but we are also there oon Sunday night. Could you recommend some good dance bars or clubs that would be good to visit on a sunday night?

    Thanks,

    Lisa

  69. Laura White, last years X-Factor finalist is at the Syndicate Superclub Bristol this Saturday.. followed by banging tunes until 4am.

  70. Hi Shannon, no the Syndicate is not a gay club, its the one of the biggest night clubs in Bristol - A Dance & Trance based club, that regularly puts on big events!

  71. Is the syndicate a gay club as katie price said it was.. i didnt think it was?

  72. Yes Oceana is down the end of the waterfront, i would recommend taking a look at the clubbing map, as it gives you an indication of where abouts and the other bars surround it.

  73. Oceana is located at the end of the waterfront.. you cant miss it, its next to pitcher & piano

  74. im probably being dumb, but where is oceana located? thx
