A popular Bristol brewery has been granted a premises licence for a new bar in a historic building on Stokes Croft. Left Handed Giant is planning to open the bar in the Carriageworks, which lay derelict for decades but was recently converted into apartments.
The brewery will open its bar on the ground floor of the building, and was granted a licence by Bristol City Council on Thursday, July 6. Carriageworks residents told a licensing hearing they welcomed the new bar but were concerned about noise and access to a courtyard.
Left Handed Giant, which is based in St Philips, already has bars in King Street, North Street in Bedminster, and Finzels Reach opposite Castle Park. Company bosses told the hearing that their venues are “not about loud music or getting drunk”, but quality beer.
