Small Clifton Village bar with live music every weekend, free music in the front bar and £3–6 shows in the back room, open until 01:00.

The Bristol Fringe is a small bar at 32 Princess Victoria Street in Clifton Village, with live music every weekend and a programme that runs from jazz and indie to electronic and acoustic sets. Bands play for free in the front bar, while the back room hosts ticketed gigs a couple of times a month, usually for £3–6.

It opens at 16:00 on weekdays and earlier at the weekend, and closes at 01:00 every night. October 2026 brought contemporary jazz trios, a drag night and a live improvised soundtrack to Nosferatu. Not for you if you want to dance: this is a bar for watching a band, not a club.
