Tucked away on Broad Street is Hort’s Townhouse, which reopened in March after a monumental refurbishment across the entire building. Previously Horts, it was been a well-known haunt in the city centre for decades, principally as a sports pub in recent years, having been taken over by hospitality group Youngs.
Having closed last June for a major makeover, BristolLive was given a sneak preview of the work in February. Now called Hort's Townhouse, the entire Grade II-listed building has been gutted and redesigned in nine months and is completely unrecognisable, with an Art Deco theme throughout, first opening its doors on March 23.
I would hasten to call it a pub - more of a bar and restaurant - but Youngs has been firm on the fact Hort’s Townhouse still very much is despite its big transformation, having introduced 19 beautiful boutique rooms across two floors that were previously left unused. The beautiful new dining area is welcoming to walk-ins and not restricted to the overnight guests.
