The Louisiana

You'll find yourself down Wapping Road in that pocket of Bristol where the river's close and the warehouses still feel like warehouses. The Louisiana pulls in everyone from students to regulars who've been coming since the place opened, all here for the same reason: live music that actually matters. The room's got that intimate-but-lively energy where you can chat to the person next to you between sets, and the bar staff know what they're doing. It's the kind of venue where you discover your new favourite band or catch someone you've been meaning to see for ages.
