About The Old Market Assembly

The Old Market Assembly is one of the cultural anchors of Bristol’s Old Market queer scene. It combines bar, food, live music and performance space, with recurring LGBTQ+ programming rather than operating as a dedicated gay bar every night.\n\nIt is especially worth checking for cabaret, theatre, storytelling and queer club events, including programming connected with the Wardrobe Theatre. For visitors who prefer creative queer culture to a conventional gay club, it is one of Bristol’s strongest options.

What to expect

An arts-led, queer-friendly bar and performance venue where the event programme matters more than a fixed gay-night schedule.
