The Attic Bar sits in the heart of Bristol's Stokes Croft as part of the Full Moon and Attic Bar complex — a sprawling multi-cultural venue with two bars, a live-music room and club, a restaurant, and one of the largest pub courtyards in the city. The Attic itself holds around 240 and runs live music and DJs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening, spanning everything from reggae and dub to drum 'n' bass and full live bands, plus jam nights (such as the Suntrap Jam) that pull in local musicians. Open daily from noon, it's long been a fixture of the Stokes Croft scene — The Guardian once named it among the Top 10 clubs in the UK. Both originals and covers find a home here, with a full PA and in-house engineering for booked acts.
