Bar + Block Steakhouse in Bristol, City of

Food was lovely, came quick, steak was lovely more. My husband's was more on the rare side than medium rare (Fillet 12oz) but was still delicious. Loved the mexican rub on my steak. Would have liked more side options like Mac N cheese etc. Biggest steak size is 12oz. Sides were on the small side.

Amazing food, great service thank you

A brilliant bottomless brunch for my cousins birthday! So many delicious drinks and amazing food!! TARA our waitress was great so accommodating and considerate loved our experience . Thanks all!!

Went for a friend’s bottomless brunch. Really good food, cocktails amazing. Would recommend. Downside very strict with finishing drinks before giving more drinks. Overall would recommend as good food and cocktails 🍹

First time eating here and it did not disappoint! The food was great and service from the friendly staff was amazing, will definitely be returning

We pop in for a few drinks on a Saturday afternoon, drinks are reasonable priced, good selection too and staff were very friendly. The place was also very clean and tidy. Definitely want to give the bottomless brunch a go!

Excellent food and service. Visited for dinner and the steaks and cocktails were great, service was quick and friendly. Would definitely recommend

40 min after ordering the food, We where informed that a new peace of meat was put on the oven and no forecast of when it will be served. It was 12 clock and the place was empty . Lack of management, Don’t recommend .

Fantastic service from the main man Raoul. Food was delicious! Will be back for Christmas menu.

Great service from the manager Raoul, we had the lunch time deal that was great value. Had a couple of questions about the steaks to which the chef flo came out to give his insight which was a nice touch! Will be back again

Been a couple of times and always have a great experience, special shout out to Gavin who was absolutely lovely, really friendly and helpful. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the meal couldn’t be faulted! Couldn’t recommend more!

Came into bar and block on a rainy Monday afternoon, honestly made my day the food was spectacular. The stunning blonde woman (Amber) gave 10/10 service and extremely attentive. Special thanks to Aiden came up and greeted me from the kitchen. Will be coming back. Thank you bar&block see you soon, hopefully when the sun shines at king street once more. Eva greeted me with open arms and Duncan served me a cocktail that I will never forget.

Claiming a "greater representation through stretching targets around gender and ethnicity" is all well and good until it's interferes with quality. The two mid-rare Fillets order and not eaten were blue and had to fight to get and sort of money off. The atmosphere should have been a giveaway when outside was buzzing and inside was empty. I applaud your drive for equality but when it is at the expense of good food, I won't be back

Been quite a few times, it's a nice steak house with selection of different cuts, quality is lovely, can't go wrong with the ribeye steak. Staff are lovely, if anything goes wrong they will try to accommodate you and have been offered free drinks when food was late. I always return due to being a decent quality steak.

Lovely breakfast. Big choice. Clean and friendly.

Duncan provides 10/10 service and is the tallest man i have ever met

Amazing steak , brilliant service. Will definitely recommend

Stay a lot in premier inns and always look for the bar n block restaurants, this was the worst meal I’ve had at a bar n block and possible ever had. Crispy beef starter was a small sloppy cold salad different to every other restaurant. I had it re made but arrived after the main was finished. The brisket beef burger was missing onions, on a dry non toasted bun with a tiny amount of beef (£19). Some stuff also had poor attitudes.

Nice place by the river. Friendly service. Great food, lovely chips. Steak cooked to my liking Pepper sauce very nice but a bit small No peas available. Very disappointing Otherwise all very nice.

Booked a table online, one week later, no confirmation, called in only to be told the online booking system doesn’t work and no more than 12 people! Not difficult to put this on the website!

Really nice food and service was great.

First time here for a meal with a friend Wednesday evening, place was empty Ordered a trio of steak sampler (Fillet , rump & sirloin) Ordered the steak rare Fillet was rare , other steaks were overcooked It came with onion rings They were also over cooked Chips were hot Signature steak sauce was ok Also ordered a trio of desert (Lemon cake , choc brownie & churros) Churros were over over cooked I Ate all the food and it was ok It’s Not a cheap place to eat & Bit disappointed to be honest Wouldn’t rush back

The Chateaubriand was perfection. Service was excellent.

Such good service. Very efficient and great value

Lively atmosphere and great food, 3 courses for £16 👌

Breakfast was very good. Later we bought cocktails but they were served in plastic as we sat outside. Everyone around us had glass so it was a bit sad.

Ellie was amazing! We had one issue which was very minor but she solved immediately! She made us feel like she wanted to help us and nothing was too much trouble!! Thank you Ellie!!!

Came for a roast dinner today and it’s the best we have had in Bristol. Everything was cooked to perfection and we had all the trimmings, honey roast parsnips were a highlight. We met the head chef Florian and he was wonderful. Will be coming again. The service was also great, highly recommend

Espresso Martini for outside double £10

Lovely atmosphere with great service with friendly staff Met the head chef Florian who cooked us an amazing roast Highly recommended

Restaurant atmosphere seemed nice, unfortunately one particular female staff member was exceptionally rude when I asked if I had correctly paid £4.50 for a petty full amount of chips in a LARGE BOX.. I had also ordered a mojioto which arrived 80% ice and 20% mojito which cost £10. To be shouted at by staff in a quiet restaurant, was frankly humiliating. Plenty of nice bites on king street which offer better value for money & excellent customer service. Very disappointed with a seemingly lovely venue.

Really enjoyed our time here. Was pretty empty at 3pm so lacked in atmosphere which meant we were well looked after by Tara, our waitress. Food was delicious and drinks plentiful! Thank you Tara for a lovely few hours 🌟

Great food and comfortable surroundings. Staff pleasant and helpful.

Amazing service by Cormac and Duncan! We had such a great night, mostly thanks to these dudes, and will def come back. Cormac has that easy Irish charm, he's great craic! Duncan's skin is radiant, glowing, iridescent, and luminous - just like his personality! Xxxxx

Amazing staff and food, I would recommend this restaurant in Bristol, steaks are of great quality and cooked well and to order... Their inhouse steak sauce took me back to Australia so good.

The food was ok, the service was ok… the whole visit was ‘ok’. Ordered two steaks - a fillet and a rump - and couldn’t tell which was which, but both cooked correctly. Chips fresh, onion rings lovely.

Good service friendly staff came here for a Sunday roast unfortunately the beef was very dry and hard to chew wasn’t the best roast would not come back for another roast here

Had a quick & tasty bite to eat here before going to see a show at The Old Vic, happy to recommend & to go back again

Definately gone down hill since I came a few years ago. Over cooked broccoli, onion rings appear pre packaged as well as the peppercorn sauce. Basic bistro quality with a steakhouse price tag.

The area in the Old City is characterized by many pubs and restaurants, the Block Steakhouse is recommended. Good quality. Modern furnishings.

A good clean large place to eat. The staff that served us (Tara and Cormac) were both excellent; really friendly and efficient. It was Sunday so we went for a Sunday Roast (1 lamb and 1 beef). It took a while to arrive (mid-afternoon) but was a good helping. However, it had obviously been reheated. The lamb was tough and the beef was dry. The parsnips were actually burnt to black. Worse part was that the Yorkshire pudding was not defrosted properly and half of it was icy cold. Sadly, even though the serving staff were excellent and understanding (they did offer free dessert or coffee), it is not a place I will return to. It will also make me wary of other branches.

Lovely place for a Steak and much more..our food was cooked exactly as we asked for and the Service from our lovely Lady was excellent

Slow service even when quite steak was over cooked staff aren’t very happy

Great food, I had a discount so for about £15 I would say it was just the right amount of food, for some reason the Crispy Beef didn't come with pancake wraps.

Can’t fault the service from Aimee and Tara today. The food was delicious

Amazing service from Aimee and Tara! Can't fault

Can't fault the food and service today from Aimee and Tara

Tara is amazing. Dealing with a 20 x bunch of nearly and over 50 year old who have been drinking since 1pm, don't know what they have ordered and wants 10 x cocktails for happy hour. Bringing all dinners iut in good time and smiling bringing cocktail after cocktail. What a trooper. Annie was also super doooer..... didn't see anyone else but whoever made the cocktails and made our dinners . Top class. X

Tara & Annie were exceptional on both their professionalism and speed of service. No request was too much for them to handle. The food was delicious and the steak cooked to perfection. We came with a very large party of guests and the servers took all our requirements in their stride. Would recommend, can’t wait for our next visit

Excellent steak sampler amazing service plus there was 18 of us and the staff and chef were outstanding 10/10 from me

Amazing service. Tonight we had a party of 18 and everyone involved was patient, lovely, kind and there were absolutely no mistakes to any order! (Which is incredible) Had absolutely stunning service from Aimee and Tara. But had to ask for the chefs names (Flo and Larissa) and the bartenders (Oscar and Cormal) because they all deserved a special mention! Would highly recommend for a big group as the menu caters to everyone and they were super organised.

Overall good but did expect a little bit more quality from the food but staff and surroundings very good

Great place - fantastic service of fabulous food!

The food is very average and the price/performance ratio is very low

food was lovely and the service was wonderful (shout out to Tara who served us, she was amazing). Will definitely be coming back

We used FirstTable and were not disappointed overall. Fillet steak was delicious. Could do with more of the red wine mushroom sauce though. Does it meet the standards of other premium steaks in Bristol? TBC, not convinced yet.

Service was excellent and food was good 👍

Had a lovely dinner out the other night with my boyfriend. Delicious food and yummy cocktails. We were served by Oscar who was very knowledgeable and kind! Will definitely be coming back again

Oscar is great, always provides 10/10 service!

Oscar is great, come for work drinks all the time and great service

The food and the staff were amazing. Cormac, Tara and Iva.. they really Looked after us. The brunch food was amazing, the cocktails are delicious.. highly recommend ❤️

Cormac, Tara, and Iva were amazing, the drinks were flowing, the food was soooo good. They cater to allergies and are super attentive. Can’t recommend their bottomless brunch enough.. best one I’ve ever been to! Definitely one to revisit!

Lovely service. Helpful to ensure everything was what we ordered and met our dietary requirements. Lovely brunch and highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing place to eat and drink, food was amazing!!! Service was great Cormac, Tara and Iva went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience.

I've rarely had a Mojito this bad.

Food was fantastic..Hubby had the 3 sample steaks ,whilst I had the Chicken souvlaka

Had a great breakfast at Bar and Block. The service was great, have to mention in particular the poached eggs which were superb, cooked by head chef Flo. Loved the playlist. Great atmosphere and friendly service.

Had booked in for a bottomless brunch well in advance having been here before with the girls and had a great time. It seems it has gone downhill since then though as I received an email just a few days before saying due to 'supplier issues' they would not be able to do the brunch with cocktails. Very poor and should imagine they had a lot of cancellations.

Came for a late lunch, food was incredible! But the best of all was the impeccable service. Luigi was amazing, will definitely be returning!

Had Tara as our server, absolutely smashed it and very grateful for her service with our special order, made all of our nights!

After a late night, out on the town, we were looking forward to a good night's sleep. Putting my head down I stared up at the ceiling and noticed cobwebs above my face. Not wanting these to fall on me in the night I cleaned them off myself. Afterwards I noticed more around the room but left them for their housekeeping to deal with (as is their job). Once settled I went to sleep around midnight only to be awoken by the night receptionist banging insistently on our door at 01:15 to say that there had been a report of noise from our room? We were asleep!!!? I was very upset at being woken up for no good reason and did not get a good night's sleep thereafter. In the morning we went down for breakfast but could not see where the restaurant was. Asking, we were told to exit left and it was down the street a little. If we would have been told this yesterday then we would have taken our coats, being that it was raining. As it was we had to go back to our room and  fetch them before repeating the whole rigmarole again. Breakfast itself was ok but the restaurant was a tip: crumbs on tables and seats...We had to move because it was so bad. We feel the experience was very poor and submitted a complaint the day after for a full refund. It is now 16 days on and nothing! I will no longer be using Premier Inn.

We went for breakfast on Saturday morning. The atmosphere was relaxed, staff were friendly and the food was ok. We went for the hot breakfast. My only complaint here was my mushrooms were only the stalk but everything else was ok. When we went to get tea and coffee the mugs sitting on the tray by the machines were so stained that we thought that it was the used stuff. My glass had something stuck on the side so had to change it. The general cleanliness of the place wasn't good. The floor was dirty, cups were dirty, glasses dirty, tables outside along the side of the building still dirty from the night before. The mat outside the toilets looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long long time. The whole place was just very grubby. We had planned to do breakfast two days while visiting Bristol but after the first morning we decided we wouldn't do the second based on the cleanliness. The whole front of house just needs a good scrub. The person working front of house was on their own, before the end of service and while customers were still in dining, they went out for a cigarette at the front of the restaurant. One customer looking to pay had to go out and get them. Again no washing of hands just straight into taking the payment then taking food to tables. Just not very good hygiene practice.

when I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and it was empty alarm bells, should’ve rung. Ordered a roast & had to return cauliflower & cheese as was frozen & stone cold, meat was grizzly, potatoes were nice though!. Three others had the burger. Definitely not worth the £17 price tag, not worth it, very disappointing.

The service we received from Tara was excellent, she was very helpful at all times. The food we ordered was served quickly and was excellent. We would recommend a visit to anyone.

Food is was good; but smaller portions that usual. Connor was a great server and the drinks were fab. Thanks so much !! You were great!!

Had a lunch here with work colleagues, not impressed. Portions were small, some of the mains were missing (which were luckily steaks so were hastily cooked but after everyone was already eating) place had literally one other couple so no idea how they could have missed it. Overall would not be going back.

Food and service were brilliant. Food was cooked how it was ordered. Tara are server was brilliant. I really would recommend it.

Lovely food and atmosphere at Bar and Block in Bristol. Restaurant is classy and quiet, the chefs are brilliant and have great music taste too. Cormac served us and was great, very attentive and helpful. Cocktails are very well made and a bargain at 2for1 too! Lovely night!

Tara was amazing and made it a fantastic experience! The food was great and the cocktails were amazing! Friendly staff and we had a blast

Amazing night out with amazing service. Waiters were so good,no fault at all. Highly recommend. Cocktails great. Good to match. 10 out of 10. Will return

Food took ages to come , despite being very quiet , Order was incorrect and had finished meal before the side order came , and this was after a number of reminders and a very rude and dismissive response from the young lady who was apparently the manager , Saying “ i told you we were busy” God help them if this was busy !!! Other server was friendly enough ( maybe she could give the manager some customer service training ?) Overall service was diabolical, food was hot and reasonable but i would never dine there again. I should have followed my gut instinct that there was a reason all the other eatery's nearby were heaving and they were so quiet !! Definitely would not recommended

When I booked here , tara was very help full she helped me with booking and the pre order , then when we arrived for my twins 24th bday she was there to greet us made sure we were all ok , then made sure we all had drinks our food was ok and even till the end she made sure we had all we needed I will defo be back and I really hope that tara will be here again as she made our night

Tara was amazing, so attentive and really good at her good. So friendly. We went as a family and Tara explained everything. Everything we needed she got it

The service is quite fast and convenient The service is quite fast and convenient The service is quite fast and convenient

Great dinner, and the service was excellent. we will definitely come back again. Tara and Cormac were excellent and made everything great.

Best club sandwich I've ever had and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Lunch menu is a great deal for a cheap quick meal. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Would return 10/10

Came here with my dad for a breakfast around Christmas and was really impressed with the quality of food and service! Chef Flo's food was divine

Another amazing meal from a happy returning customer, friendly and attentive service from Oscar and Grace this time. My salmon was cooked perfectly and they accommodated well for my gluten allergy

I *really* enjoyed my meal here - food and service both great, and a v pleasant space to spend a sunny Friday afternoon. A total treat!

Amazing service amazing food! The prawns were cooked to perfection and went amazing with the flatbread and sauce highly recommend My main 12oz fillet & loaded fries was a burst of every flavour you want from a steak & sauce smokey sweet & sour All tho I could not finish the dish the dessert was everything you could ask for to end an amazing experience the toffee chocolate sauce tops it off perfectly a the lotus biscuit was to die for! Highly recommend to any and all!

The start “garlic king prawns samphire and flatbread” was an amazing explosion of flavour with each and every bite would 100% recommend. The main “12oz filet steak cooked medium rare & loaded fries” cooked perfectly I couldn’t have asked for it better, the fries were sweet smokey & sour with the burnt ends and steak sauce. The end “toffee chocolate sauce lotus cookie dough & ice cream This dessert was delicious wasn’t to sweet to finish on and has left me with a homely feeling in my stomach

This spot is so lovely and cozy atmosphere! Brilliant service and amazing food quality! Our server Grace was so friendly and we managed to pay our compliments to the chef for her beautiful food! Will defo be returning here!!!!!

Thanks to Flo the chef for my lunch who took into account all my dietary needs and cooked me a wonderful and very tasty meal - highly recommended

One of the best steak experiences I’ve had, would highly recommend especially if going with friend, great atmosphere and brilliant service from Oscar

Food was just perfect. Lunch set menu is real good value for money . Place was very clean and staff was friendly and attentive. Will be back

Staff were nice enough, but clearly ill-equipped to do the job at hand . Our initial drinks order was forgotten about, we were told several items were unavailable after ordering and our food came out cold. After eating it took 45 minutes for anybody to clear our plates and at no point were we asked if we would like a dessert. Would not recommend.

By far one of the worst experience I've had. For a steak house to have ran out of fillet steak on a Saturday night is atrocious. Was given then option of a sirloin which was a terrible cut and I do not think was fresh....

We only had a choice of a set menu as it was Valentines Day. Considering the restaurant was empty we had to wait for drinks. Red wine wasn't an option when ordering steak on this menue. I ordered 3 sampler medium steaks with chunky chips...

BEST BURGER IN BRISTOL!!! I went here on Monday just looking for a bite to eat in the middle of the day and it was the best decision I made. I've been in Bristol my whole life and have eaten in a lot of places...
