@ Lloyds Amphitheatre on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September 2021
One of the best events in Bristol this year, Wing Fest is taking over the Lloyds Amphitheatre this September for an epic weekend of eating, drinking and dancing. Dedicated to all things chicken wings, the two-day party is pairing its speciality with bourbon, beers and live bands.
@ Harbour House on Sat, 5th Jun 2021 @ multiple start times (see ticket info)
This brilliant brunch party is a great shout for the best things to do in Bristol. Head over to Harbour House with your pals for a Saturday spent sipping on bottomless booze and bopping to a DJ set while staring at topless hunks as they serve you hefty burgers.
@ Thekla on Every Saturday
@ Hen and Chicken on Every Saturday
Hen and Chicken's upstairs room has been giving us all a good laugh for more than 20 years, and is still the venue to catch top-notch comedy at affordable prices. Taking place every Saturday, Stand Up For The Weekend welcomes some of the biggest names in an intimate joint.
@ The Kensington Arms on Every 1st Sunday of the month
Looking for a light-hearted evening of humour? Then Blue Mustard Comedy's monthly event is the one for you. What's more, The Kensington Arms will be dishing up roasts until 7pm, providing you with the perfect stage-side meal.
@ Bristol Cider Shop on Every Friday
Sure, you know your Rekorderlig from your Magners, but do you know your dries from your sweets? Bristol Cider Shop is giving you a 101 in all things apple-y with their Friday tastings. Expect plenty of tipples and a whole load of knowledge.
@ PRYZM on Every Saturday
Riproar has moved to Pryzm to bring you an even bigger Saturday night of shenanigans. Expect the usual line-up of three top comedians, followed by entry to the super club which is included in the ticket price.
@ Lola Lo Bristol on Every Friday
Mix Fridays at Lola Lo are the best way to welcome in the weekend in Bristol. Along with a soundtrack of commercial hits and summery vibes, the tiki-themed club also shakes up a number of fruity sips and tropical punches to keep your energy levels high throughout the night.
@ The Milk Thistle on Every 4th Thursday of the month
Turns out drinking endless amounts of G&Ts doesn't automatically turn you into an alcohol expert. What does, however, is The Milk Thistle's gin club which focuses on a different brand each month and the various distilling secrets required, as well as offering up various sips and light nibbles throughout.
