About This Pub

Ah, Blame Gloria in Bristol – it's such a lively spot, isn't it? From the website's buzz about wild themes and retro vibes to the glowing reviews, it's clear this place knows how to throw a good time. I love how they've got these brilliant bottomless brunches with themes like Grease or ABBA, where you're sipping on endless cocktails while belting out tunes and enjoying live performances – it's all about that carefree, dancing-under-the-lights energy. The cocktails themselves are a real highlight, made with fresh ingredients and plenty of options to suit any mood, and the staff sound like absolute legends, with folks raving about how attentive and fun they are, like letting someone mix their own drink for a birthday treat. With a whopping 4.9 rating from heaps of visitors, it's no surprise everyone's coming away chuffed. But let's be honest, it's not perfect – the limited opening days mean you have to time your visit just right, and it can get absolutely packed, which might feel a bit overwhelming if you're not up for a full-on party. Still, for a memorable evening of drinks and laughs, it's a top choice – I'd say give it a go if you're after something a bit special in Bristol.

Pros and Cons

Cons
  • It's only open a few days a week, so you'll need to plan ahead and check the schedule to avoid disappointment.

  • As a cocktail bar, the drinks might be on the pricier side, so it could add up if you're out for a long session.

Went for a Eurovision Drag Brunch- so much fun! Asked what we wanted to pick from the menu and which pitcher of drink we wanted straight away, and everything came out so quickly and was delicious. The rest of the afternoon was stunning, loads of dancing and laughs. Served by Lauryn who was super sweet- loved their style as well. Definitely would go again 💛💛💛

A group of us stopped by for some birthday drinks and a boogie! Megan at the bar was super lovely and let the birthday girl make her own cocktail which made it extra special, she was super patient and accommodating! We all had a fantastic evening, Blame Gloria is always fail proof for a good time! Thanks guys!

Blame is a great spot for anyone looking for delicious drinks and excellent service. The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish, perfect for any night out. The cocktails are fantastic – carefully made with fresh ingredients, and there's a great variety to choose from. What really stands out, though, is the service. Liam and Immi were amazing! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time. Their attention to detail made the experience feel extra special. If you're looking for a place with great drinks and even better service, this bar is definitely worth a visit!
