BSB Waterside in Bristol, City of

Went here for pre theatre drinks. Two regular soda and blackcurrants cost £5!! It's £2 in the Bristol Beacon. The disabled toilet should be condemned. You have to ask for a key, which is always annoying, and the toilet roll holder looks smashed and hanging off the wall, the mirror looks smashed or very distorted, and it looks like it was once an outside toilet that has been built around! The ladies isn't much better with as many toilets as possible crammed into a small space which means having to contort yourself to get in there and close the door. Certainly won't be returning to this place although I doubt I'm it's usual customer anyway. Can't comment on the food as the place was near enough empty with noone eating. Tellingly, The Stable and No 1 Harbour side were both full of people eating and drinking.

We kwamen hier langs en hadden nog niet geluncht , en dit was open. Het was er wel erg stil er zat bijna niemand en het is een grote zaak. Nu was het wel een doordeweekse dag en 14 uur. Het duurde ontzettend lang voor dat het eten kwam, dus zou het nog eens druk moeten zijn....... Wat we hadden was wel lekker, dus dat maakte het weer goed

Visited today. Ordered cod & chips and my grandson had gammon & chips. Fish look like it had been cooked many times and just heated up. Noticed no peas abd the bar tender said, they have ran out of peas, so they got me beans instead. Why they couldn't of told me when I ordered it. When the beans finally came out they were warm. Gammon was burnt and chewy. Took both meals back and got my money back. Don't bother having a meal there. Bar tender was polite and gave me my money back after speaking with chief.

Don't bother coming here, I was assaulted and Staff told me they would assist the police, they did not so the person who attacked me got away with it because security staff are incompetent. Not a nice environment.

I GOT INTOXICATED WITH THEIR FOOD, never had such pain before in my life, 4 days sick and had to go to the hospital

A lot of choices of food and pads!

Ordered a pizza and a burger. The pizza was spicy and good plus satisfied 2 people. The burger was tiny for the price of 10 pounds. The place has a great view both inside and outside. Great atmosphere.

They call themselves a sports bar but have a DJ playing music over the football game so you can’t hear the commentary. We asked the staff numerous times and they didn’t stop the DJ despite everyone in the bar watching the game. We ordered nachos and they came burnt and all the sauces tasted bland and out of a jar. Would not recommend!!! Would have left if we knew anywhere else to go but we aren’t from around there. Avoid!!!

Absolutely shocking! Avoid this place!! Pizza is not homemade, calamari was burnt and chips weren't cooked. Baby changing table is very loose. The staff member knew this and told me I should hold it up with my knee whilst changing the baby. Gobsmacked! Don't waste your money and go somewhere else! Hope this helps!

Tall bouncer is aggressive. Never going back again neither are friends. Contacting police over aggressive behaviour. CCTV caught the whole thing! Horrible sad tall skinny man.

Great loud music in the afternoon. Friendly staff. But I won’t go again unless they do something about the disgusting toilets! They are beyond vile and should not be allowed! There was no lock on the disabled toilet. Broken toilet seats! They don’t look like they have been cleaned in about 10 years! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Staff good pizza 🍕 was great music and sports TV

it was a wet cold Sunday afternoon. Empty and lacking in much atmosphere. Food OK.. not good

Friendly staff. Don’t expect too much on the drink. The Diet Coke is not fizzy enough. But great sound system to broadcast the football game. Affordable place to watch a game.

Came in here for the last 3 days as we're staying for the weekend.. Not a bad place . Good that they have music and live sport.. The toilets aren't very nice and clean. But other than that cant really complain.. Better places to visit.

So disappointed with guards especially the tall one,at a club today asking me out of the place without trying to listen at my side but took the other girls side

Bouncers were very racist I was called slurs and not let in despite doing nothing wrong

Nice Sports bar on the waterfront. Had a fee beers watching some football on the TV. Had a good time

Such a simple meal.to cook, cheesy chips. How can anyone muck this up. Well here you go.first bar or restaurant in the UK. If I could give a zero for the food, that would be too generous. Waited 30 minutes for cheesy chips,then I asked where my food is, tasted like they had been under the sun bed for 12 hours. Half a plate and rubbery. The only thing going for this place is the sports. Before pictures and after, couldn’t finish it no matter how hungry I was. If you want to wast £4 on chips then come here.

Stopped by for a beer and some food. Ordered a pint and looked at the menu. Beer was expensive and food looked cheaply priced. Decided not to order as the music was banging out loud and the floors were sticky. Only then found out this is a sports bar and it felt like one from over 10 years ago, didn’t know they still existed. Won’t be back

Came in here on a little pub crawl with the missus.. Cant have been that bad as we came in twice.. Plenty of largers to choose from. And decent enough price compared to some of the other bars in Bristol.. Would like to visit again in the future..

Great place to relax and raise your glass😉

I was not very happy with the toilets they need to be clean

My boyfriend and I are an interracial couple and did not have a good experience here. He was clearly treated very differently to me (I am white). When coming him his bag was searched and he was patted down when I wasn’t. Then when he was ordering drinks they were telling him how much it would be before pouring it. They did not do this when I bought some drinks. Not only this but the bouncers were watching him all night. I felt uncomfortable as it was clear racism.

Gwen served us and she was amazing! So friendly. I would definitely go here again!

Not very busy so very quick and efficient service. We had the Beefy pizza and a Haloumi burger, both very tasty.

Absolutely horrendous experience with my husband being spiked in here at 6pm! He had 2 drinks! Ended up in hospital with him! Bouncer was vile! First and last time visiting here!

Don't be put off by the ,to be honest, tatty interior. The food was really good. We had lamb chops and chips, 5 lamb chops, really good chips and salad. Excellent

First time there and would thoroughly recommend it! 10 out of 10

Such a shame one has to drink from a plastic slever, could do with a five star clean regards the table and chairs,all a bit sticky.

Beware the prices you are charged! Flashy screens behind the bar advertising vodka + Red Bull for £5.50. We ordered these and went to pay and they were actually £6.50 each, barman said ‘oh ignore the screens they aren’t up to date’ - maybe turn them off then? Pretty sure this goes against Trading Standards who I have informed about this misleading pricing.

Unfortunately the table was dirty - our food was very good!

Worst bar ever !!!! Come here if you're a woman who wants to be assaulted!

Why is the floor so sticky...felt grubby and dirty...toilets, only 2, not clean, huge queue. Won't be going again.

Funny place if you want to remember what's it's like for your shoes to stick to the floor! Good party atmosphere ok for an hour or do if you love dancing!

I was manhandled by this security guard last night for absolutely no reason . My friend has got this on record and 4 witnesses hsve said they have absolutely no idea why he done it as I was doing nothing wrong other than calling my friend who I could see outside. He then grabbed me and threw me out. I asked to speak to the manager of security who is also pictured and he refused to do anything and wouldn’t listen to me.

The fish was good and the fries were good, but I missed the salad.

Good food and drinks and really nice staff 👌

Visited BSB with the intention of staying a while as they are open late and usually have good music, walked in and my shoes were stuck to the floor, katy perry firework was playing so i asked the dj via showing him my notes on my phone to play bashment and he responded gesturing crying and mouthed “if you dont like the music you can fxck off and leave” which isn’t a djs normal response he couldve just said “ i dont do requests sorry” he then continued to make gestures behind me and my friend, tried to go to the toilet - there are only 2 female cubicles which had a massive queue, so i paid £5 to get in after a couple of songs i left really nasty atmosphere wouldn't return.

Came here for my sisters 18th and the service was lovely and so was the staff in general and the food was top tier

Amazing staff and well dj Leo is just on point all the time

Good beer, typical pub menu in a nice location

Clean, good music, service is quick. Great place to go and listen to good music & have a dance

Nice staff great location lots of sports screens

This place is an absolute dump. The floor is so sticky that you can hear your feet peeling off when you walk. The ladies toilets are next level dirty!!! The sinks looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks, covered in dirt and hair. One toilet was blocked (to the rim) the floors were wet and covered in litter and wet toilet roll. I've used many toilets at festivals and underground nightclubs but this is a mainstream bar that serves food, the level of cleanliness is disgusting, what must the kitchen look like???....shame because the music was quite good. 9.30pm Saturday

Need bigger toilet for ladies as the queue is always so long.

A great spot for a spot on the river

Very nice pum, and fish and chips

First time going there. Not for over 40s! Definitely over 18s! Can get quite packed

Good atmosphere lively and busy. Worth a visit.

Whether to watch the football. Lots of screens, beet was ok, had a cheapish average chicken burger. No thrills, good for watching sport!

A good restaurant in a good place. The food is good and quite cheap. Although without a doubt the point to criticize are the bathrooms that are very dirty and unattended. But the service is generally very good.

Three times we had to send things back to the kitchen before they got our order right. One of which was because there was meat in my vegetarian burger. Once we finally had the right order, we realised there were no knives and forks or condiments. We asked and turns out we were supposed to have them already but they forgot. Considering the very limited menu and the fact that we were the only people eating in the restaurant, this seemed pretty ridiculous that they could mess it up so many times. To top it all off, I have woken up the next morning with a stomach bug and diarrea. I’ve had to take the day off and I’m stuck in bed which is why I have found the time to write this review, otherwise I probably would have left it. What an awful time 😂

basic burger, but for me it was delicous. service was also good

This was very busy, but the food was great - nothing special but very tasty and lots of it! Plenty of room both inside (with tv screens, it was match day and the footy was on) or outside on the water front, where we sat with the dogs. Great bar with lots of drinks to choose from. It was noisy and busy with the footy on, but it was all good natured bantering. You can’t go wrong here for this type of food!

Went here for a drink with my brother who is in a wheelchair and we had to sit outside as there is no wheelchair access. His partner (it was his 22nd birthday and he definitely doesn't look under 18) went to the bar to get drinks. The bar person, who had a stinking attitude from the outset, poured the drinks and then asked for ID. Unfortunately, he didn't have ID so was refused the drinks, which is fair, but some manners about it might have been nice. The server then poured the drinks down the drain, including the coke. When my brothers partner asked if he could just buy the coke, he was told there is a £5 minimum on card spend (apprently this place is a corner shop from 2006). I don't know if the owners read this, but if you do; putting a minimum spend on cards, whilst not illegal, is against the core rules set out by Visa (it's on page 109). It is also in terms and conditions for Mastercard that there should not be a minimum or maximum payment set and these companies have been known to cease working with or even fine businesses that do this! I have reported your business to both of these companies via their online form. If only your server had possessed some basic manners. Really hope this doesn't cause too much of a problem for you!

Lovely location good selection of beers and good food for an reasonable price .pleasant staff

Extremely rude doormen. Do not recommend in the slightest. If I could obliterate them from existence, believe me I would do it in a heartbeat. Not welcoming and ageist. Didn’t let my friend wear a cap. Sticky disgusting floor and horrific toilets

A journey back in time. An outstanding view, and must experiment walk. You can feel like in the 80s, with all people around dancing, enjoying the day and having fun!

Seemed to me like it was gonna kick off any minute when I visited on a Saturday night, bouncers with bad attitudes don't help.

We had two salads one chicken one houlumi. Very generous portions. Quick service. Very good lunch sat outside by the water

Love this bar, friendly staff and great atmosphere

Went in with my wife and daughter she went to the toilet got locked in and couldn't get out got staff there who couldn't open door had to kick it off myself to get her out

Friendly staff and very clean place

Great service from the security and bar staff. Whilst other bars turned away our group of 14 people (fresh from a retirement party so not exactly raucous) the security staff put together a group of tables outside so we could all sit together and subsequently we spent close to £100 on booze. Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Thanks again!

best night out in bristol by far

Great place for drinks and food

best old school hiphop/rnb and dance hall club in Bristol.

Gulls and harbor Nice environment

Nice view outside, good atmosphere and great cocktails

Had a blast lively strip great music and saw a very cute guy.

Love it here been here a few times with my friends really enjoyed it

Good place to see sports in the excellent Bristol harbourside.

Very nice place. The breakfast was delicious and the coffee was top notch. Highly recommended. I will be back!

Place was empty when we went but I bet its heaving in good weather

Not the cheapest but the barman gave wonderful service.

I went for a quiet night weekday, Good service, really clean and felt safe

Not even worth 1 star. Probably the worst bar I have been in. Absolutely flithy, toilets were disgusting toilet seat not even attached and feaces on the floor. Bouncers rude. Went out to the smoking area on my own then got thrown out for being outside after paying £5 to get in to be thrown out 15 minutes later saying no entry after 1.30 to then see bouncers letting in other people. Left outside with all my friends in the bar with the bouncers refusing to let them know I couldn't get in and no way of telling them. Then when my friend handed my stuff through the doorway the bouncer shoved him out and then would not let him back in. Again Absolute dive.

Space inside and outside. Friendly staff and ok prices. Good bar

Great pizzas but music too loud.

From what I recall. In-between the 16 Jaegerbombs it was a fun afternoon. Nice seating area outside so you can people watch or enjoy the boats bobbing on the river. Friendly speedy service.

Good night, with a good atmosphere, door staff are friendly and welcoming.

Nice place to have a glass or three )))

Two of us visited there in the afternoon, felt comfortable and brilliant 80's music.

I like it have very nice music and is a nice place

Not my thing. Not sure who's thing this might be but perhaps give it a go. Not entirely sure what a sports bar means to be honest.

Nice large venue, ideal for large group gatherings. Went with a group to celebrate a birthday. Was great music.

Good place with good range of drinks and cheap but good food! Lots of big tvs and shows the football!

Bully boy staff, drinks were expeinsve, wouldn't bother

Cheap and cheerfull. Decent for when the football is on.

Food good great harbourside views but gets quite busy.

Really enjoyed our first night out here since lockdown.

Good time to visit Bristol Harbour. Part of a coffee house nice old fire place Queens Square one side and Kings Street other side . With bars and restaurants and Theatre Royal.

So so bad. My partner found a hair in her burger and when we asked for it to be changed they laughed and said you shouldn't complain for the price!!!!

A bit expensive but good waterfront location and served with no fuss. Smart place.

Great service and atmosphere. Only premises we could find showing the live football around the harbour 👌👍

cool place enjoy having a few pints here from time to time. Only been during day/eveing relexed you can looked out at the water its nice staff very good Good spot give it a try

Out for something to eat , the menu makes like a kebab shop without the kebabs , doesn't give the feel to eat here .

One of the best bars and most happening bars in Bristol

Lovely place to have a drink next to the water would highly recommend this place.
