About

The Milk Thistle is a clandestine cocktail bar and one of Bristol's best-kept secrets, spread across four floors of a magnificent historic building in the city centre. Characterized by its dark oak panelling, stained glass windows, and quirky taxidermy, the bar offers a sophisticated speakeasy-style atmosphere. Each floor provides a different social experience, from intimate attic booths to grand lounge areas. Its award-winning menu focuses on classic cocktail craftsmanship and rare spirits, providing a refined and atmospheric escape from the modern world for those who can find its unmarked door.
