About Bristol Bear Bar

Bristol Bear Bar is one of Old Market’s most distinctive LGBTQ+ venues and one of the UK’s few bars built specifically around the bear community. The emphasis is social rather than glossy: a small room, approachable staff, regulars, visiting bears and themed nights.\n\nDespite the name and core audience, the venue describes itself as attitude-free and welcoming. It is a strong option for visitors who prefer a more grown-up gay bar atmosphere to student-heavy clubbing.

What to expect

A compact, friendly bear-focused gay bar with regulars, themed nights and weekend DJs.
