Some bring Scandinavian minimalism with floor-to-ceiling windows, others create a hidden haven filled with houseplants and vintage furniture. Want a space that doubles as an art gallery, community hub, or an ethical, carbon-neutral café? You’ll find it here. From cosy nooks in Clifton to spacious, open-plan cafés in Southville and the Old City, Bristol’s café scene is built for more than just brunch. Find a spot that fits your event on Tagvenue.

If sustainability is key, Future Leap Clifton provides a carbon-neutral space designed for networking, workshops, and events with an eco-conscious edge. Need something that feels more like a buzzy social club than a café? Strange Brew in the Old City has an event space that turns a casual meet-up into a vibrant night out. For an artsy, neighbourhood feel, Burra North Street and Burra Redland Street offer a warm, inviting atmosphere that works for private dinners, brand activations, or community events. If you’re after something with big event energy, Wake The Tiger in Lawrence Hill brings a wild, immersive environment that defies expectations.
For small events, booking a few weeks in advance should be fine, but if you’re looking for a popular weekend slot or a full buyout, it's best to secure a booking at least 1–2 months ahead. Venues in Clifton, Southville, and the Old City tend to book up quickly, especially for evening events.
