My guide to Bristol!
Neighbourhoods
This is the best place to see the largest quantity of Art work, in Southville and Bedminster (North St.....quite a long road) and this is mainly due to the UPFEST Graffiti art festival (they are responsible for most of the good graffiti art work in Bristol! The UPFEST shop in Southville has lots of artists' work for sale, and if you head over to their website to find information on their last festival which shows you the locations of the various artists' pieces.
North Street has a great vibe of its own with independent shops & cafes…plus LOADS of art work! From there head towards the tobacco factory and then follow North Street back towards Bedminster... then cut across the banana bridge towards the SS Great Britain and the RNLI museum, Arnolfini etc and this is the main waterside hub but it’s a network of waterways that wrap around into the city centre... this is a longish walk, with stops, it could easily occupy a 5-6 hours or more....or grab a boat trip from the harbour.
From there you can then cross the river onto Spike island & you could then wander along the waterside heading towards Hotwells, where you’ll find lots of nice cafes, Whapping Wharf (great food spots!) MShed museum (free!) and the S.S Great Britian. From there you can head up towards Suspension Bridge

Local! (Stokes Croft/ Montpelier / Cheltenham & Gloucester rd)
Firstly there is a corner shop around the corner - head towards Brighton street and its just on the corner. Alternatively there is a Tescos Express a 7 min walk away on Cheltenham road or a Sainsburys further up or another in Cabot Circus.
Stokes Croft is great for people watching… you’ll see! It’s very lively & interesting! The Full Moon Pub is studenty but holds some good nights & has cool beer garden. Also the legendary Lakota nightclub is around the corner!
Otherwise take a long walk up Cheltenham & Gloucester rd - longest independent high street left in the UK! Tons of interesting shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants. Its about 2 miles long, but lots to see.
Foodwise, I can recommend a local pub ... Star & Garter.... linked with Massive Attack and some well known Graffiti Artists. Also does a great Jerk Chicken!
The Bristolian on Picton street is the closest best breakfast. There’s loads of cool shops around there too. Another cool venue for breakfast is Crafty Eggs ... great Moroccan eggs and they open up early ish... there is a fab coffee and danish place to the right of them. Opposite them Caper & Cure would be good for evening meals as would be Poco... Tapas (very good), next door to them is Jamaica Street Stores which is fab, to the right of Poco you have Nadu (Sri Lanken) etc.. opposite all three you have a hip bar restaurant called the Canteen, very arty and chilled with live music...all fresh and innovative organic food as all of the venues I’ve suggested.
The Farm in Montpelier also has a nice beer garden & great Roast dinners. Next to the city farm if you want to check it out.

In Clifton village, (nr Suspension Bridge)
There is a whole realm of boutiques & cafes for you to wander around. The Ivy is great for an afternoon tea or the Giggling Squid is an amazing fish restaurant. The bridge, Observatory and the Downs are all great to explore too.
Ashton Court and Leigh Woods are close by too.
Regent Street you have one of my favourite Tapas restaurants called Bar44....worth looking at bookings for Poco and the locals.
