Racks Bar & Kitchen

Racks Bar & Kitchen is one of Clifton’s most loved spots for good food, great drinks and an unmistakably warm welcome. Set inside a beautiful old wine merchants building, it’s the kind of place you can settle into, whether you’re popping in for a perfectly poured pint, a relaxed lunch, or a cosy evening of comfort food and conversation.

Step inside and you’ll find rustic character paired with contemporary touches: exposed brick, original arches, local artwork and a dining space that feels bustling and intimate all at once. There are smaller rooms tucked away for private dining and celebrations, and when the sun’s out, the pergola becomes one of Clifton’s best places to eat and drink al fresco.

The food is generous, classic and properly satisfying, from crowd-pleasing British favourites and elevated pub plates to seasonal specials, quality steaks, burgers and comforting desserts. There’s something for everyone, including plenty of veggie and vegan options that never feel like an afterthought.

And of course… there’s the Guinness.

Ask any regular and they’ll tell you: Racks serves one of the best pints in Bristol. Cold, creamy, and poured with care, every single time.

Whether you’re joining us for dinner, drinks, a celebration or just a moment out of the day, Racks is all about good taste, cosy vibes and leaving feeling looked after.
