Cafe Bar

Located on Southville’s bustling North Street, our Cafe Bar is a hub for great food, drink, music and art. Converted from an historic factory, once at the heart of Bristol’s industrial past, our bright, contemporary and welcoming space is a unique spot to eat and relax with family and friends.

Menu

We believe in honest, delicious and fuss-free dishes that celebrate seasonal produce from the south west. Our menu is inspired by bold British and European flavours, with quality ingredients at its heart.

Pop by with friends for light bites, soups and sandwiches, or relax into the weekend with a hearty brunch. Start your evening with colourful plates of vibrant mezze or explore our tempting menu of affordable main dishes. Plus, we serve roasts on Sunday.

Vegetarian, vegan and light options are available. Get in touch and let us know your dietary requirements.

The Yard Kitchen Bar

Open on match days, for drinks, during Winter months. From Spring to Autumn, we serve New York Italian inspired flatbreads (roughly 12″ across), stone-baked in our very own pizza oven, with a great choice of vegetarian and vegan options, plus a range of mezzes.

Our Suppliers

We start with locally-sourced, available ingredients, and so our dishes change regularly. Read a bit more about our suppliers here.
