“Oh No! Now my bank is a trendy wine bar!”
…
Currently the creative epicentre of Bristol, Stokes Croft will gain a new place for all those hardworking arty types to properly unwind when the brand new Bank of Stokes Croft opens its doors this September. Housed in the former Allied Irish Bank this new music and food hotspot hasn’t actually traded as a bank since the 1970′s, however it still maintains the original vault which now houses a very cosy snug and the original nightsafe amongst other original features, it also has a secret walled garden out the back. The bar will be a great compliment to the already thriving social scene on this once downtrodden strip of Bristol.

Open until 4am every weekend the Bank of Stokes Croft aims to serve up a diverse and cutting edge music policy with DJs such as rising stars Super Mega Ultra and Ghettospheric alongside more established hedonists like Club Dave and DJ Die’s Laminate Radio. There will be DJ sets very Thursday, Friday and Saturday and on Wednesdays the legendary Suisse Tony brings his famous ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Bingo’ north of the river for a new weekly session.

Food will also be high on the agenda at the new Bank of Stokes Croft and in keeping with our pub The Spotted Cow, local sourcing and quality ingredients is very important. The menu is based on simple dishes made well served simply in bowls so expect anything from a Moroccan Tagine to a Lancashire Hot Pot via a Goan Fish Curry or a French Bouillabaisse served up with plenty of fresh bread. Adding to this a full brunch menu will be available every weekend with breakfast from 11am. Also we have a great selection of traditional stone baked pizzas.

The new bar aims to become a welcome addition to Stokes Croft and is actively involving local designers and artists in the design and artwork of the bar. Local artist Simon Mills has decorated the vault with his trademark doodling alongside many of Bristol’s best loved urban scrawlers including the legendary Paris. As we all know unless you’re Banksy artists normally don’t have much money but they generally like eating and drinking and have exceptionally good taste, so surely a bank that serves great food and drink is better than a regular one where you pay bills and other boring stuff.
