Welcome to The Bristol Fringe
Located in the heart of Clifton Village, The Bristol Fringe is an independent pub and live music venue known for its eclectic programming, welcoming atmosphere, and commitment to quality across everything we do.


Since opening our doors, we've aimed to create a space where the Clifton culture and community intersect —offering regular performances from local and touring musicians across a wide range of genres, as well as open mic nights, poetry readings, and visual art exhibitions.
Our bar serves a carefully curated selection of cocktails, wines, beers, and spirits, with a menu that reflects both classic standards and seasonal creativity. Whether you're here for a quiet afternoon drink or a night of live music in our intimate back room, The Fringe offers a unique experience entrenched in local hospitality.


We’re open seven days a week, with events running most evenings and live music every weekend. Bookings are not required, but we recommend arriving early for ticketed gigs and special performances.
To stay up to date with our events and featured artists, you can follow us on social media or sign up for our monthly newsletter, The Fringe Letters.
