Located in Bristol’s Old City, The Clockwork Rose is a vision of a Neo-Victorian world in a unique bar that remains one of the first of its kind in Britain. The Clockwork Rose is a relaxed, warm, and friendly atmosphere, where you can sample innovative cocktails and premium crafted spirits. Each cocktail is uniquely designed around the exploits of the fictional steampunk adventurer, Captain Sebastian Commodore, as well as taking inspiration from real life works of fiction by famous authors such as Jules Verne, Conan Doyle, and Douglas Adams. For events we hire out the full venue for evening or late afternoon events. We offer hourly hiring of smaller table groupings for Table Top Gaming Sessions We also offer a bespoke cocktail service in which we can design a special cocktail to serve on the evening either as a welcome drink or an option for your guests to order. We can also offer alfresco seating, however this is weather permitting.
At The Clockwork Rose we offer a bespoke hiring service that is tailored to your needs. We have contacts with local catering companies that we can wholeheartedly recommend and are happy to take orders for special spirit requests to be available for your guests. Our hiring space is furnished with large booth/banquette seating and tables, with a kitchenette available on request for minor prep or for serving outside catering from. It can also be used as a seperate specialist serving area such as a Whisky Bar with our selection of fine Scotch's, Bourbons, and Japanese Whiskies (full lists available on request). We also have a coat check and reception area for welcoming guests, and a vast list of musical and perfoming acts that can be hired to create an unforgettable atmoshphere.
For smaller groups we can offer an hourly table hiring fee, which will include a drinks tab and a selection of bar snacks on arrival. This is ideal for smaller teams of less than 10, for after work get togethers or an evening of table top gaming.

Warm and friendly atmosphere! Staff are super friendly and happy to chat and help inform about drink decisions. Easily one of the best cocktail bars in Bristol! A must go to location for all in the city!

Amazing interior and great decorations. We try a few cocktails and I can say that is maybe the best so far that I’ve ever had. The staff was extremely nice and helpful with the menu. The olives with sea salt 🤤 👌🏻 *if you order some special cocktail- you get a quick show with the special music. Bravo!

Really lovely family run business serving high class cocktails. Great value for money & service. Atmosphere incredible & staff amazing. Owners are insightful & friendly. Highly recommend a nice break from chain pubs & bars

I really, really wanted to give this place five stars, but I just can't. We got a really friendly and welcoming greeting, the decor is just amazing, and combined with the music and drinks selection, it has a great speakeasy vibe that's like stepping back in time. When we visited during a quiet afternoon we thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails and chatting to the bartender. However, when we returned on a busy Friday night, it was a bit of a different experience. The two guys working werr clearly doing their best but really need another member of staff to serve customers. After finishing our drinks we were left waiting 45 minutes before we could order another one - and customers who had arrived looked to be waiting a similar amount of time to receive their drinks. This is just far too long and led to understandable frustration. It's a shame, as the staff are lovely and the cocktails are sublime - some really imaginative and special combinations that we thoroughly enjoyed! It's just let down a bit by the exceedingly slow service when busy. I think we'd go back, but perhaps not on a weekend night.

We were passing and it looked really interesting. Very cool 50-70's style lounge. Nice interesting menu of cocktails and with quite advanced mixing of cocktails. The cocktail I had was a lovely complex flavours and nice to feel some love of the drink made. It's a classy dark and relaxed style bar. (amazing pecan nuts). .
