Blue Bamboo Bar

Head down to the Docks and you'll find Blue Bamboo tucked away where the old warehouses meet the water. It's the sort of place where you can tell someone's thought about what they're doing — the cocktails lean into Asian flavours without being gimmicky, and the bartenders know their stuff. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot between relaxed and buzzy, so you're equally comfortable rolling in solo for a drink or bringing a crowd. It's become something of a fixture for Gloucester's night out crowd, and once you've been, you'll understand why.
