    I initially walked past it twice before going in! Friendly door and bar staff, nice relaxed space. Good sound, DJ played some great tunes. Band (LA LOM) were excellent. Best thing - as a solo female, I felt safe. Good job Strange Brew ❤️

    Amazing Venue first time in Bristol for a gig and wasn't disappointed Great Staff very rustic bohemian vibes in this place. Really friendly people Good selection of beers and spirits. Parking in an NCP directly above the building.

    Great place! We went to see a Christmas panto and had a wonderful time! Strange Brew is renowned as an LGBTQ+ friendly venue, so if this is an issue for you...well, I would recommend you just avoid Bristol altogether and spend your time somewhere more parochial. Strange Brew has welcoming staff and a happy atmosphere. The bar is actually very good and reasonably priced for a venue such as this. Recommended.
