Par 59 Bristol

You'll find Par 59 tucked away in the Harbourside development, where the Promenade curves past the water and the city feels a bit less hectic. It's the kind of place that takes its cocktails seriously without the pretension—order a classic or let the bartenders loose on something creative, and you'll get something genuinely considered. The crowd tends towards people who actually know their way around a drinks menu, but there's nothing unwelcoming about it. Worth the trip down to the waterfront.
