Bristol's thriving nightlife

Bristol’s nightlife is an essential part of student life. From live gigs in cosy pubs to full-blown club nights, Bristol’s music and nightlife scene is as diverse as the people who live here.

There’s a strong DIY energy, a lot of what happens here is locally led, genuinely inclusive and all about good atmosphere over hype.
