Bar + Block Steakhouse Bristol

You're heading down King Street towards the waterfront and you know exactly what you're getting at Bar + Block: a no-nonsense steak done right. The place has that urbane steakhouse feel—dark wood, proper lighting, the kind of spot where you can actually hear your mate across the table—but it never tips into stuffy. The beef is the thing here; they take it seriously, and the cocktails aren't an afterthought either. It's become the sort of place Bristolians go when they want something celebratory but straightforward, whether that's a birthday or just a Friday night that deserves better than the usual.
