The Old Market Assembly in Bristol, City of

Excellent place for a wedding followed by cans love the cans and the weddings and the roast !!! Highly recommended wedding venue

Went to an excellent lgbtq+ comedy night here with friends for the second time last night, and once again, it did not fail to impress. The pizza before hand was home made and amazing, the range of beers were great and the comedians were superb. Another fantastic night at this venue, thank you Old Market Assembly.

Interesting bar with rooftop terrace! Good selection of local (alcoholic) ciders.

One of the best vegan/vegetarian roasts in Bristol! Wonderful staff and just an amazing atmosphere. Love this place and I will be back for my 4th roast before Christmas 😊

Came for a Sunday lunch. The staff were so lush and the service was delicious. We ordered lambs and pork bellies... The yorkies, potatoes and veg were fantastic, the portion sizes of the meat on both plates was very disappointing, - two measley mouthfuls of meat. It felt quite insulting and we didn't want to comment to the lovely staff serving us cos we didn't want to embarrass them. Come on assembly rooms, sort it out.

Weird this boozer. Nice interior. Nice staff. Great pizza. Great theatre!!. Lacking in soul.....

We had our wedding here and it was honestly the best day ever. Amelia was sensational at working with us to create our day the way we wanted it. The food was wonderful! The chef let us choose from a wide selection and many guests told us it was the best meal they'd ever had at a wedding. Everyone in our party also told us how kind and welcoming the staff were to them. It was perfect - we'd very much wanted a wedding that was fun, funky and to spend our money somewhere local. So a big thank you to the Old Market team X

Service is great, and the whole place is beautiful. We had a mushroom pizza, and it was below average unfortunately... Also, I think we got sick from the garlic dough balls which were delicious...

Good vibes, solid selection of drinks. The terrace is cute especially on a sunny day and the service is always great 😌

I only went to the place to make a delivery so I can't really comment

Great team there, good selection of drinks and a lush menu.

Great Sunday lunch. The wine was ridiculously priced and low quality, but the food and service was great.

We went for a Sunday roast for the first time here and we were not disappointed! It was absolutely delicious! Atmosphere was great, service was top notch! We will definitely be back 👏🏻🤌🏼

Love this place and LOVE the pizza!! Definitely recommend coming on a weekday for one. Roast dinners are also delicious. The atmosphere is so lovely, wherever you sit!

We booked a room for a work's gathering

Lovely space nice place for a drink,nice rooftop garden

Superb pizzas, and lovely staff. Great building with a cool vibe but still welcoming.

Just enjoyed an amazing Improv Shakespeare night ...and a gr8 ale too. The sunday roasts are epic.

A great pub serving an excellent range of drinks including lots brewed locally. The food is excellent with really fabulous pizzas. A wide range of seating including a very nice roof terrace. Excellent for groups and for a bite to eat before going to the theatre.

Great place full of interesting people and great local cask and craft beer xo food looked peng but alas I didn't partake on this occasion

Had a big birthday do here, of around 25 people and it was absolutely wonderful! Atmosphere was great and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. All the food and drink was excellent and we were all super impressed! We were seated in the mezzanine area which was perfect to give us our own space and it's overall a very lovely setting- highly recommend!

Friendly, great events at the Wardrobe Theatre. The olives are delicious.

The place is cool, nice staff, and good beer! Went there for sunday roast. pork was really good, however, roast potato can be better.

Really cool venue and the staff were lovely but pizzas weren’t as I’d prefer (thin and crispier than I like my sourdough) and thought the child’s pasta was very poor in terms of cost/size/value. £7.50 for a pretty tiny portion of what appears to be penne and shop bought tomato sauce. I will give kudos for being given cheese when I asked it for it at no extra cost though. There are independent venues in Bristol with better kids meals for sure. It’s just a huge shame as after visiting the wardrobe theatre this is the ideal place to stop. Would happily come back for a drink though (great roof terrace) and to try small plates.

Super roast. Server with the hoop earrings was killing it on service

Great experience, good choice of drinks and lots of place in two floors for sitting in. Nice rooftop area for drinks and smoke outside. Toilets upstairs, easy access. Friendly bar staff.

Pizza, beer and stand-up, pretty good evening

The lamb Sunday dinner was great! Service was also top notch!

walked out didn't take cash waste of £13.50

Lovely staff, lovely food and a great atmosphere! We came for a show and the staff suggested menu choices that made sure we would be finished eating in plenty of time. Overall a wonderful evening, thanks!

Great venue to have a nice time with your friends. The shows offer is very, very good. The place itself is in a great location and their infra is quite comfortable :)

Lovely place and great staff. We got here early for a show (The Great Big Dinosaur Show) so that we could get a bite to eat and a drink. What a great decision! We had pizza, and it was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very good selection of drinks on draught is available at the bar. The show was also brilliant, by the way.

Great atmosphere, awesome theatre experience & nice place to hang out. Pizzas were yum & different which was ace

Great pub, love that it’s also a theatre. I didn’t go to see the Thea but will be back soon to check it out. Food looks amazing.

I enjoyed great Sunday roast dinner there. The was very clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. Would definitely go back.

We enjoyed a delicious Christmas menu roast here in December, the beef brisket in particular was amazing. Loved the idea of sharing starters and desserts, all cooked really well and great flavour combinations. Had been wanting to try for ages and it lived up to expectations! Very good service and a cool interior too. Highly recommend!

Great bar Great entertainment Not the cheapest bar in town, but friendly service and nice decor

Great place to come for a pint or a theatre show. The service was fast and the space is big with lot of different sized tables.

Thank you for a gorgeous evening!

Had our company Christmas party there and the service and food was fantastic. People really enjoyed the bustling atmosphere and the cocktails were delicious - genuinely a great, sustainable and ethical choice of a venue, which is rare even in these parts!

Lovely large venue with a variety of books and crannies to hole up in for the night, as well as wide open expanses for the more adventurous evenings when a band is playing. Throw in an amazing theater at the back, delicious food, charming staff and you get The Assembly x

Really nice Sunday roast, food was delicious, great environment and lovely staff.

Can't do walk in roasts, service was average however it was a Sunday afternoon????

I like this bar a lot, but sadly, as with many places their veggie meal is too small in comparison to the meat. Veggie food is less dense than pure meat. Add more.

Alway count on this place for good atmosphere drinks and food.

Being the start of the Christmas Party Season the dining room was packed with a few large tables and several smaller ones. We were a birthday party of 14 and were shown to the side room. I have to say that we were packed in like sardines, but we had a great deal of fun! Considering how busy it was we were served, and recieved our food in good time. The food was excellent. We also enjoyed cocktails, wine and local ale, all of which were top quality. All in all a good time was had by all!

Great place for s Sunday roast. Great choice and most importantly there are gluten free options. And their Bloody Mary is a must. Highly recommend.

Saw a show, would definitely go again

This is a truly amazing and dynamic business. Excellent food from the predominantly Spanish kitchen team, excellent service and company values supporting local people and enterprise, sustainability of supply and a serious push to minimise Carbon emissions. Add to that its deserved reputation for booking first class acts, Mad Professor and Dele Sosime being just 2 recently examples, and the tune Wardrobe Theatre at the back, really make this s must-go-to destination.

Went to Northern Soul night here the atmosphere was fantastic and great to see people of all ages enjoying themselves. People are friendly, welcoming and actually smile at you!

Was such a shame, 2nd time we’ve been so invited family along. 4 x roast dinners all cold. All we were offered was for them to be warmed back up again. Gave puddings a go, 3 sticky toffee puddings, all came out cold, they were taken away and clearly just microwaved for us because one of them was cold, one warm and one piping hot when they came back. Food had some nice flavours, but it wasn’t somewhere I would recommend. We were offered a free round of drinks as an apology which were forgotten about and they got those wrong! All in all not a great lunch.

The Sunday roast was a triumph. One of the finest roast pork belly dishes I've had and the trimmings were marvelous...although a fellow diner thought she could make better potatoes although I've never had amazing potatoes in any Sunday pub lunch

Food good, nice vibe, erratic service, probably just a busy night. Wardrobe is fabulous. Never had a dull moment there.

Beautiful venue, and delicious food! Perfect for first dates imo. We had pizza andsome starters. The dough was really tasty# really professional.

I came in, not for food or drink, but because it was late, I had a long cycle ahead of me, a very flat tyre and no bike pump. A bar tender came out to lend me a pump and a hand. What a community hero.

Service was ok, not really enough staff for the amount of tables. We got 2 different pizzas, the tomato sauce was so acidic with no flavour except the flavour of tomato puree. The toppings were very minimal and flavourless, and there was hardly any cheese . Overall a pretty disappointing eating experience for the money.

Very strong roast and friendly service.

This have been our go-to Sunday roast place. It has friendly people and delicious roasts. We normally get the pig Sunday roast which has crispy crackling with all the delicious sides. Unfortunately, yesterday, the crackling was chewy and gummy with the potatoes being burnt. We asked whether there were new chefs or new suppliers. Apparently, there are 2 new chefs. So we paid and went on our way. I'll take a break from Sunday roasts from here for a while until they get back to their consistently delicious Sunday pork roast.

Great service, lovely food, great choice of drinks and all round fab ambiance :)

Lovely staff and gaff but the roast dinner was surprisingly not a great offering. Was the end of service though so perhaps not the best time to walk in!

Great venue for the random intimate shows. £10 for a coke and pint of beer. On another level of unreasonable expense.

Went with a group of colleagues to have pizza before visiting the theatre. Even having pre-ordered the pizza they managed to forget two pizzas, then when they arrived after everyone had finished, they brought the wrong ones. Once I finally got my chefs special surprise pizza, I was disappointed to get a Hawaiian pizza with chillis for £16.5. Had to rush to finish it to not miss the theatre. Unfortunately disappointing experience.

I am coeliac so have to be careful where I eat. I also have other dietary restrictions. I called up beforehand to check everything would be ok and was handed to the actual chef, which was awesome. I was so excited that they had a pizza I could eat (butternut squash puree in place of marinara sauce is inspired in my opinion). It was really yummy and enough to fill 2 of us up. I would have quite liked to be able to order a side salad or coleslaw and sweet potato fries with it but that's just me. My only complaint (not really a complaint) is that the chairs at the table we were initially seated at were too high for me and, being wooden without a cushion, would have given me numb legs if I had stayed there. We just skipped across to another table as it wasn't too busy and the staff were totally cool with that so it was all fine but some cushions might be nice anyway. All in all it was a great experience and I defo plan to return so please keep the butternut squash option on the menu! I don't know why I look like I am about to kill someone in the picture - I was actually very happy

We went for coffee and its lovely! The staff are really kind, friendly and the space is beautiful. Highly recommend ✨️

Fantastic pub and theatre, really well set out with lots of leg room in the theatre. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming there, they serve locally produced beer and food. The opstairs seating area is comfortable. Definitely recommend this for something to eat, have a casual drink and or watch a theatre performance. Roast is also amazing, so tasty. Had the pork belly, roast potatoes were crispy and soft in the middle. Veg and cauliflower cheese were amazing. Pork belly was delicious and tender. Yorkshire was a bit too crispy and could have done with a bit more gravy, but otherwise a fantastic roast .

Too loud live music for me but the rest is ok. All as should be

I left feeling hungry after having the roast beef that cost £17.50. The beef is advertised as being served pink but was quite well done. £1 charge for Yorkshires if ordering a vegetarian option. £4.30 for a lemonade and cranberry juice. Improvements needed…

Vibes and atmosphere were great. Hip and cool spot in a beautiful building. This review is mostly just for the gluten free pizza. The crust was pretty tasty: lots of tapioca starch gives it a chew on which I enjoy, cooked well enough to be crunchy. My main complaint is that there was no cheese, and it looked like someone made it with a blindfold. I don’t consider myself picky, but I challenge you to look at the photo I took of my pizza and tell me that you think the creator ever laid eyes on it. There just ain’t a chance. No cheese, a negligible number of minuscule slices of onion, and ditto for the bacon. I’m sure their other pizzas are better, and mine was made in a rush, but cmon. Neapolitan is one thing, but this ain’t that. Just throw the dang cheese on please. I paid £16.50 for a tomato flatbread that took 45 minutes to arrive. Once again, sure, an outlier, but let this bear witness to the existence of the sham of a pie I received. Someone made this, someone baked this, someone served this, and never once did any of them question: does this pizza look appetizing?

Great food good beer lovely space

Had a great time watching the Muppets show, the actors were absolutely brilliant, rated 4 because although the show was great,the seats were not very comfortable at all, very narrow and very hard, and not very spacious, felt quite crammed. I can understand it's an independent theatre but there surely has to be a way to make those seats more comfortable. I mean I absolutely loved the show,the atmosphere was great, the staff weren't bad. I just simply wouldn't return literally due to the seating in the theater, otherwise can't fault on anything else. Had a brilliant time

We had a vegan roast meal and it was amazing. The food was beautifully served, tasted amazing and the service was excellent. Great staff, great atmosphere, would highly recommend. Thank you Amelia and staff.

Disappointing cocktails, 2 for £16 but barely anything in the glass and not even enough to enjoy. Wouldn’t recommend this place

A little pricey but the wardrobe theatre is great fun

Wonderful delicious sunday roast of pork & beef. Easy walking in market road in Bristol.

Great place for food, drinks and entertainment

Excellent and lovely friendly barman.

Great roof terrace. An extensive selection of local beers.

Mondays, week days,late after 22:00 till later.Loud music and screaming.Marvellous for the neighbourhood!Should move location as soon as possible.

Lovely venue, with flags to show enthusiastic LGBTQIA+ support. I found it a bit difficult with my wheelchair. Lovely staff, lovely food, and the wardrobe theatre was cute.

Really enjoyed a night without Kate Bush in the theatre

A brilliant inclusive venue. Delicious pizzas, fabulous theatre and great range of drinks.

A small plates menu with limited but delicious food. But even though we were early on a Sat night and there were only a few diners, there was absolutely no service in the restaurant. So, it was get your own drink refills, clear your own table as it was overwhelmed with the small plates, and get up and pay. There were staff sitting around, who obviously had never visited a restaurant before to know that they had a role! Not that I require service as such, but they then add 10% service charge onto the bill!! It should all go to the kitchen staff ....

The kitchen is easily overwhelmed, even on busy nights, arrived at 5pm and was told that the kitchen isn't accenting orders. Checked every 20 minutes and was told the same. At 7pm bar staff said if we want food to go to another restaurant.

Decent pub. Spacious inside. Not too busy.

Great old building, with a balcony to look down on dancefloor.

Food was of limited selection, but nice. Service was polite and quick. Plenty of families in.

Can get quite noisy when it's busy, good selection of beers and cocktails

We went for Sunday lunch yesterday. They were clearly slammed. However, the wait staff always kept us updated on the wait, always had a smile and attended to our requests so quickly. The kitchen was taking a while to get orders out but at no point did that compromise the quality of food. Which was all fantastic. Would much rather wait an extra 10mins for food and have it come out the way it did. Have been before, will definitely go again.

Always friendly staff ,great music n food

What an amazing place! Small 5 dush lunch menu and every one was amazing. We had a vegan chilli, vegan soup and patatas bravas which were quite frankly the best I have had. I was driving so opted for alcohol free beer, on tap! Delicious

Very cool place to hang out and listen to love music.

Love the atmosphere and the vegan snacks. Good vibes from staff and customers!

Went for lunch - nice options including vegan options. Get the impression the lunch menu changes regularly (?) and the dinner menu looks delicious too ! Really lovely atmosphere & coffee:))

So much fun on a cabaret night!

Wonderful Sunday roast; best nut roast I can ever remember! Great place, great atmosphere, great price & lovely staff. 11 out of 10 😍

Great place, friendly staff. Food - pizza fab rounded off with New Bristol brewery joy of Sesh. What could go wrong! 🍻

Walked in. Stood at the bar for 5 minutes. Three staff at the bar, no acknowledgement that we were there. One swore loudly as they were trying to fix something. Still noone spoke to us. Awful customer service. Will never return. This was a first date and I was highly embarrassed after I had high hopes, because we had to walk out.

Delicious Sunday roast. Great vegi options and portions. Deserts looked amazing. Friendly staff. Nice outside area. Not keen on the " Gender neatural bogs" and no cash policy and the fake coca cola ( thankfully they was fine with me getting a can from the shop next door and drinking it ) but food was great

Lamb Sunday Roast, portion was a bit small so also ordered a side of cauli cheese which came out bubbling and very cheesy 10/10! All the food was great and really tasty. The lamb was quality and roast potatoes crispy. I was a little disappointed with the veg, again super yummy - but just half a carrot and small portion of greens which I'd have loved loads more of (plus another potato or two)... to make it 5* I'd definitely go back, great service from the waitresses too 👍

First time here and will definitely be back, the bar staff were lovely, drinks reasonably priced and great atmosphere :)
