Sportsmans
A proper old-school sports bar on Colston Street where locals gather for serious drinks and the kind of unpretentious atmosphere that's increasingly hard to find.

Walk into Sportsmans and you're stepping into Bristol's version of a proper boozer—the kind of place where regulars know the bar staff's names and the conversation flows as freely as the pints. Tucked away on Colston Street in the heart of the city centre, it's got that reassuring worn-in feeling of somewhere that's been doing its thing for years without needing to reinvent itself. You'll find everything from serious sports fans gathered around screens to people who just fancy a solid drink in a no-frills setting. It's the antidote to the polished cocktail bars that seem to multiply by the day round here.
