Racks Bar and Kitchen
Guests can relax in Racks Bar & Kitchen – one of Bristol’s favourite bars snuggled in the old wine cellars underneath the hotel. Full of historic charm and warmth, Racks is the perfect place to pop in for a drink or sit down to enjoy a meal – it also offers a fantastic breakfast.
Pets are welcome for a small fee and we offer a guide to dog-friendly activities in the area.
Events at the Clifton Hotel Bristol
Being a wine cellar, Racks’ building is made up of a series of hidden alcoves and varied spaces so it’s equipped for meeting the requirements of a variety of events. Our main event space, The Playroom is good for private parties from Birthdays to wedding receptions and has a capacity for up to 120 people. Not only for celebrations, but for conferences and corporate meetings too, it’s a space that delegates will find unique and appealing. If you’re looking for a smaller meeting space, Racks has several out of the way alcoves that work as small boardrooms, complete with screens for linking up laptop presentations.
Summer parties are hugely popular at Racks and with a spacious out door terrace, BBQs and Hog Roasts are often spotted during the warmer seasons. Stag and Hen groups also love what Racks has to offer in terms of simple set menus, Gin & Ale Masterclasses and their own spaces still close to the atmosphere and hubbub of the main bar. Racks’ event business is growing rapidly in popularity so get in touch sooner rather than later to make an enquiry and book a space! Our Private Events Manager will be on hand to guide you through the process and work to your individual requirements.
