Head to North Street where you'll find this fun boozer and beer garden in Bristol, ideal for all sun-seekers amongst you. But it's not just a great daytime spot. When night comes, The Spotted Cow's fairy lights turn the outdoor oasis into an enchanting spot whilst adding tonnes of atmosphere. 

Located in a buzzy neighbourhood, the fittingly named No.51 Stokes Croft is always popular with students and locals. Come summer, the outdoor space is well covered with trees; be warned, you will have to be quick to grab a table at this corker.
