A Clifton staple with outdoor and indoor seating. It's a popular brunch spot but good for all day eating. Personal favourite is the Croque Madame.

A lot of love for this secret bar. They take cocktails just as seriously as they do interiors. Make a reservation in advance, knock twice and be sure to remember the password.

Entertainment
In case you fancy a cosy night treat yourself to a plush cinema experience at the Everyman. Originally built in 1920 and lovingly protected by The Whiteladies Picture House Ltd to save it from becoming a gym.

A sanctuary from the hustle and bustle. Clifton Lido is a must see. A restored Victorian swimming pool by Bristol based architects Marshall & Kendon. Beautiful and tranquil. Pop in for a swim, a bite to eat or a poolside drink.

Worth a visit! A vibrant market in a Georgian arcade offering a mix of independent stalls, tiny shops and food. Personal favourite spending 50p on Cherry Lips from Treasure Island Sweets. Worth popping into the Rummer Bar for a massive selection of gin too.
