The Square Club
“Away from my usual haunts, tucked away in Berkeley Square, this is a quirky venue, with lovely staff, great events, a secret garden and free coffee and wi-fi for members. What’s not to like?”

K*NERS
“These guys are filled with energy, positivity and fresh driving hip hop beats. They love Bristol and they’re going to be huge! Check out Bristol Grammar, their new single.”

Caribbean Wrap
“All the publicly will go to the new Caribbean cuisine chain store opening in the centre, but I will always nip along to Jenny’s place in St Nick’s market if I want authentic low-cost Caribbean food in a cosy environment. It’s my top noshing station in town.”
