All of our other venues are very central and walkable from all of these hotels:
If you'd like to stay a little further out, Clifton is still close but a lovely area for some extra sightseeing!
Parking
Parking
As an old British city, Bristol city centre wasn't designed for driving! As a result, it might be best to park your car in a separate car park for a few days and leave it for while you're here, especially as a lot of the central hotels don't have car parking facilities. If you need it, here are a few good car parks:
Also, you could consider using JustPark to reserve a space ahead of time.

Society Cafe (Baldwin St) - Our favourite cafe! It's right on the corner of our road, so Charlie spends a lot of time sat in the window here.
Society Cafe (Harbourside) - Our favourite's sister cafe with lovely views of the harbourside.
Farro Bakery - Unbelieveable pastries - our favourite is the double-baked almond and honey!
Full Court Press - really great coffee right in the middle of the city!
Oddbox - a lovely little coffee shop with a selection of pastries and great brunch options.

Nutmeg (Indian) - This is where we celebrated our engagement! The tasting menu is great value and a lot of food!
Salt and Malt (Fish and chips) - Fish and chips but a little posher than normal - they also do beautiful local oysters!
Seven Lucky Gods (Japanese) - Izakaya-style food and cocktails with a Japanese twist.
Bosco Pizzeria - Charlie's favourite Neopolitan style pizza and our go-to takeaway pizza.
Pazzo (Italian-ish) - a new 'Italian-led' restaurant - the menu is unorthodox but great!

The Open Arms - where we had our first date! Head round to the back bar for an even cosier atmosphere.
The Clockwork Rose - probably the best cocktail bar in the city!
The Avon Gorge Hotel - the hotel bar has unbelieveable views over the suspension bridge from its terrace.
Cotto Wine Bar - almost opposite our house - it's attatched to a couple of excellent Italian restaurants too!
The Portcullis - a really cosy, old English style pub with a great beer selection.
