The UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars 2023 has been announced this week and two venues in Bristol have made it to the list. Filthy XIII and Milk Thistle have retained their places in the 2023 list selected by industry experts from across the UK, announced on February 7.
Filthy XIII moved up two places from last year to number 28 and was praised by the judges as "one of Bristol’s best-known independent cocktail bars". The Cheltenham Road bar, which first opened in 2019, has a subdued yet trendy setting in a moody-lit bar, which is open from Tuesday to Sunday.
It offers an Asian-inspired cocktail menu with notable drinks including the Lychee Martini, the Absinthe Frappe and the Umeshu Ice. Filthy XIII was a new addition to the UK-wide list last year and has become a firm favourite in Bristol as an outstanding venue filled with personality and sensational cocktails.
