This sizeable three-floor nightclub in Bristol city centre offers an established nightlife footprint and rare central space for large events. The property totals approximately 1,335 sq ft, features high ceilings, exposed stone walls and a Georgian façade, and benefits from modern sound, lighting and a 5-star hygiene rating recorded July 10, 2025. A licence permits late-night openings until 5:30am on Saturdays, and the A3 classification supports continued hospitality use.
Operational costs are reported very low and the layout is largely open-plan with a usable outdoor terrace — attractive for event-led revenue and flexible programming. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern point-of-sale and promotion. The building’s period character and spacious rooms create a distinctive venue that stands out in the cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood.
Material drawbacks are significant and must be factored into purchase decisions. The leasehold has 17 years remaining (lease reportedly fixed until 2042), which may prevent many mortgage lenders from lending. Ground rent at £3,500 per year is high for the tenure. The area records a high crime rate, and the building’s older fabric likely lacks wall insulation and may need ongoing maintenance. The late licence is limited to Saturdays only; trading hours on other nights are not guaranteed.
This asset suits a cash buyer or experienced operator who understands central hospitality risk, can take on lease and maintenance responsibilities, and intends to capitalise on strong event demand in Bristol’s student and leisure market. For investors seeking immediate trading potential and a character venue in a busy leisure strip, this property offers clear upside — provided lease length and lender limitations are accepted.
