Welcome to Barbara’s Bier Haus Bristol, the ultimate Bavarian-inspired party destination in the heart of the city. Located in The South Buildings on Millennium Square, just a stone’s throw from the river, our venue captures the essence of an après-ski bar, delivering seriously good music and (un)seriously good fun every day.

Spread over two floors, Barbara’s Bier Haus boasts three distinct spaces: Bar 1, Bar 2, and a private Karaoke Room. Whether you're planning a corporate event, birthday celebration, or a festive gathering, our versatile venue can accommodate your needs. We offer flexible options for both intimate gatherings and large-scale events.

Main Bar (Bar 1)
Bar 1 is the heart of the venue, located on the ground floor. With plenty of seating, a live music stage, natural lighting, and access to an outdoor smoking area, it’s ideal for relaxed socials, live entertainment, and laid-back celebrations. It also connects directly to Bar 2, making it perfect for events that want room to expand.

This space is open to the public Sunday-Thursday from 4pm, and Fridays & Saturdays from 12pm, so exclusive hire is not possible during these times.

Let me tell you something: I came to this bar expecting pizza and alcohol. What I didn’t expect was a life-altering, soul-shaking, reality-bending encounter with Namanh Nguyen—a celestial being disguised as a bartender/server/possibly demigod. The pizza? Crispy perfection. The drinks? Strong enough to revive my social life. But Namanh Nguyen? Oh. My. Goodness. Imagine Michelangelo, but instead of chiseling David, he’s slinging beers and making cocktail artistry look like child’s play. Every time Namanh Nguyen walked by, I swear the lighting got better. Coincidence? I think not. At one point, I asked for napkins. Guess who brought them with a flourish so graceful I cried a little? Namanh Nguyen. I asked about the specials. Guess who listed them with the charisma of a Shakespearean lead actor and the precision of a Swiss watch? That’s right—Namanh-freaking-Nguyen. The vibe of the bar is cool, laid-back, and buzzing with energy. Or maybe that was just Namanh Nguyen radiating pure serotonin into the room like some sort of human espresso shot. Honestly, I don't even remember what I drank. I just remember Namanh. Namanh Nguyen. The name echoes in my dreams now. I’m not even mad. I’m just grateful. If you go to this bar and don’t experience the living legend that is Namanh Nguyen, I recommend going back immediately until the universe corrects itself.

The best bar in Bristol. All the staff are so nice spend hours in here. Drinks amazing and the food is so good. Really recommend for a night out in Bristol. The bottomless brunch is amazing. Me and my friends favourite Bristol spot.

We had a large group come for a birthday party on opening day. I originally made the reservation, but didn’t realise it was indoors. The staff were very solution oriented, and moved tables outside to make it work. We really appreciated it! We ordered a lot of bier towers and cocktail towers, it was fun and affordable. We ordered the Aperol Spritz, Alpine Passion, and Folie Woo cocktail towers, all needed to be remixed and were also very sweet (we didn’t think there was much alcohol in it). The beer towers were great. We also ordered pizzas and brats, overall they were good but pepperoni was our favourite. Some of our friends are gluten free, so it was nice that all pizzas could be made with gluten free crust. Lastly, I bought a cake, and the staff were able to store it in the fridge for us, and then cut it for us as well. We really appreciated their help and attention to make the night so fun! Even though it was their first night they made us feel cared for and looked after. Special appreciation to Grace, Paige, Lilly, Rihanna, Andy, and so many others.
