Red Light

Red Light bills itself as a late-night drinking den with a 1950s vibe, featuring a cocktail menu that combines customizable classics with new creations. It's about quality, not crowd-pleasing, as befits its setting, a great late-night hideaway and a great way to get away from Park Street's boisterous antics.

It's surprisingly spacious and understated once you're inside. The Red Light Bar Bristol consists of Glenfarclas 10-year scotch, Cointreau, spiced orange syrup, averna, cream, lemon and soda. The drinks are expertly crafted, a massive ice block rests atop the bar, with chunks chipped off into tumblers, while alcohol-soaked cherries and fresh mint await the liquid that will be mixed and doused on top. Cocktails range in price from £8 to £10 and range from sharp and acidic to sweet and syrupy.
