 Australian theme bar |
323 Gloucester Road Bristol BS7 8PE United Kingdom |
If you have beach fever, sorry but this public house will serve to remind you just how far from the lucky country you now are. Note the typically Australian themed furnishings (surfboards doubling as tables, wallaby, crocodile and kangaroo road signs). "Are all bars in Australia like this?" yes, just like all Englishmen wear bowler hats and carry furled up copies of the Financial Times! Bar Oz is a long hike up the Gloucester Road, but you can choose from some bonza imported Antipodean beers. Or sample the usual UK tap beers. Play pool, chill out to a live DJ on Fridays, sit in the large beer garden or watch one of the seven TVs plus the massive SKY Sports screen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Everything's bigger in Texas! |
95 Whiteladies Road Clifton Bristol BS8 2NT United Kingdom +44 117 974 3794 |
Popular with well-heeled Clifton residents, students and young professionals, the focus of this place is the large, oval bar where some mean cocktails, plus champagne, wines and beers are served up with American panache by trained bar tenders. In fact, America rules here, with images of Marilyn Monroe, JFK and other US icons everywhere. Tex-mex cuisine of gigantic portions—chicken voodoo wings, burgers, enormous steaks, fries etc.—is served all day in the adjoining restaurant. Children are welcome at lunchtime and early evenings (highchairs available). Although the food is popular, many people come here solely for the amazing cocktails and the place becomes lively to say the least. A good time to try it out is a Wednesday, when it's "Happy Hour" all night long and the cocktails are cheaper—just remember, even if they taste like harmless strawberry squash, they are extremely potent!

Australian theme bar, popular with sports fans |
Clifton Down Railway Station, Whiteladies Road Bristol BS8 2PN United Kingdom +44 117 923 7204 |
With the appearance of a stately home overtaken by youth, Australia fever hits you as soon as you set foot inside the door. In the bar crowds congregate around the widescreen television, cheering on the rugby/cricket/football/whatever else is showing, and there's a steady stream of folk to the bar area, taking advantage of the great deals during happy hour. The dining area has a summer-camp feel, with long picnic-style benches and you can enjoy your food in comfort, away from the sporty feel of the bar. Keep walking and you'll enter a peaceful stately haven - leather furniture, coffee tables, newspapers and backgammon games - a mini oasis of centuries past. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Aussie-mania in enormous city-centre bar |
40 Corn Street Bristol BS1 1HQ United Kingdom +44 117 930 0181 |
Walk in here and you'll think you're down-under. The bar staff are genuine Australians, the walls are covered in what looks like Aborigine art and the Aussie theme is just everywhere. It's in the menu - crocodile or kangaroo steak anyone? In the drinks - loads of Australian beers and mixers. In the love of sport - there's a TV screen the size of a small house in one of the rooms, showing, what else, sport. And finally, it's in the laid-back atmosphere, which, it has to be said, hots up considerably in the evenings, when this place becomes an absolute magnet for young locals wanting a lively night out.
