Sitting pretty by the waterside, Riverstation is one of the most romantic bars in Bristol city centre. It boasts a menu that's as impressive as its stellar views. It's perfect for a summer date night, with British dishes, modern cocktails and a quaffable wine list.
A secret garden, a wine bar and a candelit venue? Hard to beat that when it comes to romance. Head to No.4 Clifton Village for a night of sultry sips and some of the most sumptuous eats. Tip back a glass of Champagne and cheers to another successful outing with your other half.
Cosy Club Bristol brings together heritage and style in a beautifully restored, Grade II listed former banking hall, which is steeped in history. Think stunning marble floors, characterful stonework and a beautiful domed roof making up just some of the Neo-Palladian architecture. Providing both grandeur and an approachable feel, it's ideal for date night.
Meanwhile, the bar serves up an imaginative cocktail list, including dessert-inspired creations like the cherry Bakewell and tiramisu martini, alongside timeless favourites such as the Prohibition-inspired whisky sour. Add in a generous wine list and refreshing spritzes, and you've got a venue that's ideal for romancing.
Award-winning restaurant bar, The Square Club showcases a pretty outdoor terrace, modern interiors and delicious drinks. And to keep the spark alive between you and your other half, enjoy live music events, readings and film screenings at this romantic venue.
For the best late night bars in Bristol, it doesn't get better than Be At One on Queen's Road. Enjoy a bunch of martini options as well as frozen bellinis, chocolate sips, and our personal favourite - a gin- tastic Kiss From A Rosé.
If you're looking for something a little more laid back, then The Lock Keeper should be on your list. Situated by Keynsham train station, this cosy pub is home to a pretty beer garden; the ideal location for a little balmy evening romance.
If you fancy classic cocktails such as Manhattans, margaritas, espresso martinis and negronis, you'll adore this Victorian-themed drinking den. The Lost & Found has plenty of tipples as well as mouthwatering steaks to make date night worth every penny.
Thought that London Cocktail Club was only for wild nights out? Think again. Visit a little earlier - just before the evening rush - and sip on happy hour drinks in a slinky setting. If you're the kind of couple that likes to party, then you'll probably want to stay late.
Searching for romantic spots for you and your sweetheart? Check out Dirty Martini, and get the chance to have delicious bottomless brunches, plenty of happy hour deals and the most cracking cocktails - chocolate martini anyone?
A great choice for birthdays, Valentine's Day or a romantic date evening, The Milk Thistle in Bristol is the clandestine cocktail bar located in the historic Quay Head House. Get cosy over pisco concoctions and pineapple gin.
Whether you're out with your husband or a two-time Tinder date, The Clockwork Rose has you covered. One of the most romantic bars in Bristol, this Stephen's Street hangout is providing unique cocktails in the fictional watering hole of adventurer Captain Sebastian Commodore.
One of the most romantic rooftop bars in Bristol, the ever-so-stunning White Lion Bar is fantastic for its slick interiors and stunning views. While overlooking Clifton Suspension Bridge, you and bae can tuck into juicy burgers and cocktails galore.
When it comes to swish spots, this one's got it in the bag. With a name like The Love Inn, you couldn't expect any less than an intimate space. Check out the Stokes Croft bar and restaurant for Japanese cocktails and tasty plates before live music gets the party going.
