Secret Bars in Bristol

Racks Bar and Kitchen may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to Bristol's secret bars, but the bar and restaurant is like a concertina, with rooms and hidden corners fanning out the more you explore.

As one of Bristol's livelier secret bars, Cosies! is a top choice if you're looking to dance the night away. Set in former cellars, the spot is now a neon wonderland of DJ nights and fun times.

Due to its sheer size - four floors, to be exact - you might think you would be hard pressed to miss The Milk Thistle. But this secret bar is well hidden; find it and find a swish restaurant, gin parlour and cracking cocktail bar.

In the heart of Bristol, Red Light is a secret Bristol Bar with a difference. Follow the signs to discover an intimate drinking den of the finest libations with bar tenders mixing up classics or sinfully naughty original libations.
