The Milk Thistle

The Milk Thistle is Bristol’s original hidden cocktail bar — a four-story speakeasy tucked inside a historic building on Colston Avenue.

Behind its unmarked door lies a moody, vintage-style interior with candle-lit lounges, a secret whisky vault, and a rotating cocktail menu crafted by expert mixologists.

Whether you’re looking for a refined evening out, a romantic setting, or private hire for a celebration, The Milk Thistle delivers a uniquely intimate and stylish escape from the ordinary.

Opening Hours:

• Tuesday to Thursday: 5:00 PM – 12:00 AM
• Friday to Saturday: 5:00 PM – 2:00 AM
