# View Bristol

> View Bristol is a local city guide for Bristol, UK. We catalogue restaurants, pubs and bars, nightclubs, cinemas, hotels, events, festivals and live entertainment listings across Bristol and the surrounding South West area, with user reviews, addresses, and venue information for every listing.

Bristol is a city in the South West of England with a thriving food, drink and nightlife scene — from harbourside restaurants around Bristol Harbour to historic pubs, independent cinemas, and a calendar of festivals and live music. View Bristol is being rebuilt from an archived legacy site; venue counts below are approximate and being verified through an ongoing enrichment pass.
