A new cocktail bar with a touch of yesteryear’s golden age of glamour is set to open along Bristol's floating harbour. Rick’s at The Bristol hopes to become the go-to waterside spot for after work drinks as the sun sets or for a cosy evening cocktail next to the fire indoors.
The new venue at the upmarket hotel is described as having “a soft nod to the style, intrigue and romance evoked in classic films, such as Casablanca”, where the bar Rick’s Cafe Americain came to represent the allure of a forgotten age. It looks like it's set to replace the hotel's Shore cafe-bar, which overlooked Narrow Quay and had been listed online as 'temporarily closed' for some months.
Rick's is set to open on Thursday (February 23). Adam Flint, general manager at The Bristol, said: “Bringing a brand new cocktail bar to the Bristol harbourside has been a real dream for the team here and we’re all thrilled to see Rick’s come to life.
