Cosies Wine Bar has a few different faces. It's located in stateley Portland Square, and during the…read moreday it maintains a quite respectable face. At this time it pulls in office workers and other up-standing member of society sorts. They have a good lunch menu, and the place could pass as a reasonably high end restaurant. Things degenerate (or improve, depending on your point of view) as night draws in. Cosies is also a night club and dubstep, afrobeat, and hip-hop nights, along with various others. Very cool in the evenings, this is about a million miles from Syndicate et al. not so far away in the centre. The different between the its night and day time faces is quite a contrast and makes Cosies worth two visits. Down in a basement, it has a cosy feel to match its name. The best time to vist in the day time is when its a bit cold and damp. During the evening just make sure to get there early to avoid disappointment.

There seem to be a few places around Bristol that have a bit of a cavey feeling, due to their…read morebasement locations. Cosies is another place to the trend, situated in the basement of one of the grand Georgian houses in St Pauls' Portland Square. It's open all day and night, catering to the office workers of the square in the daytime, and turning into one of Bristol's in-the-know clubs as night falls. Some of the best djs can be found playing here, spanning genres from Dub and Reggae to Drum'n'Bass and hip hop. The seats outside, carved out beneath the pavement, are maybe where the place gets its name from, as there's a really great 'cosy' atmosphere in one of those seating hubs. As a result, it makes for quite a smokers paradise, and there's definitely a hint of a few blind eyes being turned. Walking past in the day there's always a board offering some sort of exotic food (always below a fiver, so good value), proving a real temptation to descend the rickety stairs mid-afternoon. Also, there's late evening grub on offer to help the pints go down, the last time I was there goat curry was being sold around 11. You might have to pay a few pounds to get in on a weekend, but I'd safely guarantee you'll have a night worth remembering.

You sneak out to meet him by the old police station and firestations in the seedy centre of town. Boy, is it exciting. I'm talking about the Boneyard Bar - naughty, funky and a wee bit bad. Brought to us by the Invisible Circus team (makers of the incredible Carny-Ville) and modern art-mongers Artspace-Lifespace, this bar is far out, weird and most of all fun. Walk through the old firestation doors and you're faced with huge art installations and a beautful bar. Opulent glamour of velvet chairs, blood-red drapes and wooden floors sum of the sorts of gin-soaked nights they host: (tasteful) burlesque nights, comedy events, a swing night every Wednesday (that's dancing you grubby people, not wife-swapping). Beers, lounging and visual delights. Not cheap, but worth it for the pleasure.

Achingly hip, from the modern art to the lavish furnishings. This place is clearly run by artisits…read moreand is a visual treat, with big art installations front and centre, burlesque nights, and a carefully chosen array of art adorning the walls. To add to this place's cachet of cool the bars inside the old firestation, giving things a slight industrial feel. Edgy and cool this place is but also a lot of fun, things like the naked mannaquin trying to preserve his dignity will make you chuckle. Whilst there's a buzz to things in the evening, the big fire station doors mean you can lounge here on a warm evening (not that there's going to be one of those for quite a while) as well.

After a hard day's pottering around the boutiques of Clifton Village, I recently stumbled across…read morethis pleasant little bar. I popped in for a quick pint, only intending for the coupling of bum and barstool to be a brief flirtation, but before I knew it, they were practically married! With its minimalist, Shaker-style interior and friendly service, it's a great place to relax with a few cheeky beverages oiling the wheels of conversation. If you, as I do, have an allergic reaction to the plethora of 'style' bars that are spreading across Bristol like a badly-decorated rash, then this friendly, unpretentious haunt is a great antidote. The food is also delicious with a wide range of tapas dishes that are served in Tardis-like pots - they don't look big but they certainly fill you up! Above all, it's the service that really impressed me. With staff that insisted on lending me their mobile when I needed to make a call, and a manager who plonks free grub down on your table after a few hours of drinking, this is a bar that I look forward to returning to.

This is in a lovely spot overlooking the posh hustle and bustle of Clifton village. It's only a…read moresmall bar but they have a fantastic selection of vinos and it has a nice sophisticated feel. It's the kind of place you could easily come on your own for a drink as the staff are chatty and the stools are set up along the bar. You can also peek out of the windows which open on to the street and spot the totty going by but it's a nice place just to sit outside and drink too. I had knocked back so much wine last time I was there that I had to soak it up with some food and really enjoyed the little tapas plates they do- there's quite a selection for such a small place. Its laid-back vibe reminds me of places in Italy where taking a load off with a glass of wine doesn't have to be a big boozy session and can actually feel quite clean and sophisticated!

Although on street level, Clifton Wine Bar is below a raised promenade, which means stone walls and…read moreceilings and not much natural light. The result is you feel a bit like you're entering a wine cellar. Those as tall as I am will have to stoop, and it can be a bit dingy. With those disclaimers made, I really like the experience here. It's snug, somewhere good to go on a grey winters day, and sitting in a comfy chair here you feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Bristol city centre, say. They do a good trade in after work drinkers, and I think thats why. Clifton Wine Bar is an escape. With the words 'Clifton' and 'Wine Bar' in the name you wouldn't expect this place to be particularly cheap, and it's not. Neither is it somewhere to go for a part, things are civilised here. Worth the money anyway, in my opinion.

I might be being a bit harsh with my rating, because there is nothing actually wrong with Clifton…read moreWine Bar. It is clean, the food is edible and there is plenty of seating. But where it falls down for me is on its lack of soul and atmosphere; the interior is pretty bland and unattractive and it all has a rather unwelcoming effect. It is a huge bar and I have had some great nights in there sat around a table chatting with friends. As a place to just be with your friends it is perfect. But if you want to watch the sport, get a table early. Perhaps it's because of the low ceilings and positioning of the Telly's, but the view can be restricted. That said it is great that they show all the football and rugby and I do enjoy watching it there, I'm just obviously not alone there. It doesn't offer much else for me, I wouldn't go there to listen to music, soak up a cool atmosphere or try a tasty cocktail but it is known as being a big favourite with recruitment consultants and estate agents. And if you smoke, there is a fantastic garden for that.
