What clubs will let large groups in?

After speaking to Bristol's largest clubs, 'The Syndicate, Oceana and Panache'.. they all said they are happy for large groups to enter their venue's as long as they behave outside of the club, if you are acting inappropriate or are simply too drunk, then they may refuse entry... so our answer is behave when outside the club and you shouldn't have a problem. Some bars such as the Green House are non stag friendly.. with some bars you may have to play the trial & error game.
