About The Croft

On Stokes Croft in Bristol, The Croft is a live music bar with exposed stone walls and a chalkboard craft-beer menu at the front. Local beers run on tap at the bar, and pizzas round out the food side. A separate back room holds about 100 people for the music nights, with an all-black interior distinct from the pub up front. Seating in the pub area is limited. It's a walk-in venue, open daily but evenings only. The two spaces, bar and gig room, give the address a dual role as both a stop for a pint and a dedicated venue for live shows.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the back-room gig space, calling it a great small venue with excellent live music and an acoustically sound show area. The bar earns credit for a wide variety of local beers on tap, and one reviewer felt at home drinking alone with a book. Complaints are specific: limited seating, no outdoor section, and one reviewer objecting to a pricey beer served in a plastic vase.

Featured reviews

  • Ivan Martín
    “Wide variety of beer, good music....but serving a good 6'5£ beer in a plastic vase should be consider a crime against humanity”
  • tommy Bradley
    “Invest in a good sound system. Higher frequencies is lacking but the space has potential if it is engineered properly.”
  • Jack McBride
    “Great small gig venue, so glad it's back open.”
  • James Curran
    “Good to see this place is back; great bar with a decent range of local beers on tap. Prices are good too and even some beers at £3.50 a pint during happy hour. Music is in the back room which I’d guess holds about 100 people. Tixs for most gigs here are pretty cheap so worth checking out some bands when in the area.”
  • Simon James Finch
    “Great vibe. Lovely staff. Fantastic friendly atmosphere for the ATV gig... Wish I'd got there earlier and tried the food... Say Hi to the bouncer who recommended 'Pharcyde' to me--I love it!”
