    An interesting venue in the centre of Bristol. A wide range of events, a decent bar, good facilities and an open minded attitude to what’s possible all make this an exciting place to visit!

    Bizarre experience. Queued up for 25 minutes only to be told that while there were sufficient tickets left, that they wanted to reserve them for people who were part of ‘the scene’. Felt very exclusive and discriminatory, not really what I would expect from a Bristol venue - having been going out here for many years. Strange Brew is too cool for its own good.
