When a new venue pops up in Bristol, I'm always keen to try it out - whether that be Lane 7's buzzing bowling alley or Blame Gloria's wild cocktail night. So when I heard about football star Gareth Bale opening a mini golf bar near Millennium Square, I instantly added it to my list of places to go this festive season.
The golf-obsessed baller launched the first Par 59 in Cardiff last month and shortly followed with the news of another location on Bristol harbourside. Due to its prime spot in the centre, I expected the place to be chic and date-night worthy, but what I didn't anticipate were the rumours of it looking 'like a strip club'.
