Building with a story
Revolution occupies the Old Fish Market building on St Nicholas Street, a compact historic structure in Bristol’s Old City that gives the venue character beyond its menu. The bar is arranged over two levels so the original market proportions remain legible: a high ground floor with an open-plan bar area and an overlooking mezzanine that reads like a balcony over the central sociable space.Interior personality and layout
Inside, bright, eclectic fittings—mismatched seating, quirky light fittings and bold colour accents—set a playful tone that’s part chain identity and part site-specific styling. The mezzanine level provides a more intimate vantage point, while the ground floor hums with activity; a small outdoor sun terrace extends the footprint toward warmer months and adds valuable al fresco seating.Food, drinks and occasions
The menu is broad and informal, centred on comfort-food classics: burgers, pizzas, loaded fries and sharers designed to suit groups and parties. The drinks list leans heavily on cocktails—many vodka-focused signatures—plus beers, wines and spirits, and the venue commonly runs promotions such as two-for-one cocktails and daytime offers that shape when people visit. The overall offering is geared toward sociable dining, bottomless brunches and late-night drinking.Atmosphere through the day
By day the space settles into a casual restaurant mode—bright, chatty and suitable for groups or a relaxed meal—while evenings bring higher energy: louder music, more animated service and a party-ready layout where the mezzanine and balcony can be used for private hire. Lighting and soundtrack change with the shift from dining to nightlife, so the mood evolves without changing the fundamental friendly, party-minded personality.Practical venue features
The bar’s split-level plan and a dedicated mezzanine make it straightforward to reserve sections for celebrations or small events; some areas can be hired for private functions. Accessibility is managed on site with stepped and level areas, and there is outside seating for sunlit afternoons. The venue’s operating hours extend late into weekend nights, matching its focus on both dining and after-dark socialising.Local context and character
Situated in Bristol’s Old City, Revolution benefits from the compact, walkable streets and an urban mix of daytime shoppers and nighttime revelers. The Old Fish Market setting anchors the bar in local heritage while the interior’s modern, upbeat styling positions it as a contemporary social hub—a place that serves both as an informal eatery and as a late-night party venue depending on the hour.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
