The inside of the shop and the services on offer both follow suit. It's a well laid out place with freshly made sandwiches, chocolates and drinks for the food side of things. The newspapers and magazines are a broad range touching on every subject from lots of kid's comics to the, well, more risqué numbers. To push the benchmark even further there's a really nice little bit at the back offering some Asian whole foods and further in, a really good choice of red wine, whiskey and brandy. For an Evening Post shop, or indeed any shop, this one's made a real effort.

I heart Venue. Not just the listings magazine with its fantabulous local previews, reviews and news…read moreof film, food, nights out, music and events. Not just its unique and enchanting dating and hating service 'I Saw You' and 'I'm Sore at You'. Not just its funny and irrevevant outlook on everything Bristolian and Bathtonian. Not just its bargain price and weekly publication, nor its websites and days out West guides, or green-focused festival companions that come free on a regular basis. Not that it sold out and moved to new offices with the local paper (no, actually I don't love that). I love that its always there, I have a subscription to it and there's always something exciting and new to read. And it makes me go out and do new things - always a bonus.

Bristol's leading listings magazine, Venue is one of very few decent media outlets this city has…read more They do their main job well, with up to date listings of films, gigs, pubs and other things like that. The writing is sharp and funny, and they don't mind slagging something off if that what it deserves. Just what you need if you're new to Bristol, their student guide should be obligatory. What, from my point of view, makes this a good magazine is that they seem to have an idea of the tastes, trends, and likes and dislikes of people like myself. As said before, they're owned by the Daily Mail, which is definitely not cool. There isn't any horrifically right wing editorials to be found though, so it seems to be a fairly benign influence. Venue is decent writing with a good eye as to what should be found in a pub, band, club and the various other things they cover.
