    Beautiful little hidden gem! Realised they also provide food now on a rotation of local pop up kitchens! 2 cocktails for a tenner at happy hour and some amazing Indian bar snacks. Coming here for full on dinner next time!

    Had a lovely time here recently for a comedy & curry night. There was a great selection of cocktails, and the ones I tried were delicious. The food was also top notch. But best of all was the friendly welcoming vibe. I'd highly recommend a visit.

    Bristol Spirit is a great bar. The atmosphere is relaxed and I love the eclectic vibe. Regular pop ups offer the opportunity to try different cuisines you wouldn't find elsewhere and the cocktails are really inventive too (I loved drinking the Watership Down-it out of a chocolate bunny!). The best thing is that the bar is dog-friendly. Dogs are properly welcomed and provided for, there are lead rings under every table too. The Sausage Socials are such good fun - Sausage Dogs and fancy dress - what's not to like! Can't wait for the next one!

    Nice quirky bar, great Japanese food on the night we were there, amazing cocktail selection... And a decorum that makes you want to observe every detail.

    A jewel in the indie bar crown of Bristol. They hosted my daughters’ birthday here and staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate us. I love their event and food/menu variety. Each time I visit there’s always a new cocktail to sample. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

    An absolute gem and one of Bristol’s best bars, make time to visit monthly. Why? Because each month you’ll be greeted with exquisite new events, kitchen takeovers from the best regional chefs and an incredible cocktail menu to match. Flavoured gins and vodkas to take home if you want to treat yourself or get a special gift.

    Great food, friendly staff the Kara-ageh is amazing, full of flavour the Hauso udon was great and the Japanese cotton cheesecake and March brownie were both fresh and full of flavour. Drinks were great but I will say cocktails were abit pricey overall great experience nd great atmosphere espe ially in the evening. 🤙

    Espensen Spirit supplied us a mix of mini bottles for our wedding favours and they were absolutely delicious! Sam was so easy to communicate with and it was great to be able to shop local. Highly recommend.

    Went for drinks and food on date night. The choice of cocktails is numerous and the cuban sandwiches are delicious. It would have been nice to have a bit more choice with food and the cocktails. Reasonably priced and we made it just in time for Happy Hour.

    We went to Espensen Spirit for our office party and had the best day ever. Sam and her team are the best hosts and gave us an incredible tasting session.

    Sam and her team were fantastic in helping us give a special person a good send off. Sam created beautiful and personalised cocktails and were friendly and needed to management whatsoever. Thus making a difficult event that much easier. Thanks so much!

    I recently purchased a beautiful bottle of the Passionfruit & Raspberry Vodka at the Forbidden Worlds Film Festival, in addition to sampling a stunning range of spirits in cocktail form! The love, care and knowledge that evidently goes into these gorgeous products is second to none and I cannot recommend Espensen Spirit highly enough!
