It’s a wonderful night to visit Milk Thistle. A wide range of cocktails and alcohol for your selection. Perfect service, Chris and the bartender. Talk to the bartender for your favourite and they can help to tailor made some drinks for you out of the menu. This house was built since 1857, with history and story and their staff is willing to share with you in off peak hours. Good vibe to chill with your friends here. Remember to reserve your seat on Friday and Saturday. First floor only be opened on Friday and Saturday.
Gorgeous venue which is so well themed throughout. It feels like you're stepping in to some kind of special secret society. The bartender really took their time to talk to us and find out what cocktails would suit us best, and we even got some complimentary glasses of bubbly for my partner's birthday as well. I can't wait to come back here, the staff were so attentive and it had a great atmosphere.
This is one of the most amazing bar Ive ever been in. The explanation is exquisite, making the customer feel like home and knowledgable about what they are getting into. The manager is real friendly and the drinks pack a punch for sure. Nice decor, suits a theme alongside with their drinks. Definitely need to stop by when coming to Bristol.
Very cool place. I didn't even know it existed! The drinks menu is different to anything else I've ever seen. It has a very chilled atmosphere, relaxing music and the service was top notch. I had the Smoking Barrels and it was stunning, I've never tasted anything like it. 100% going to visit The Milk Thistle again!
Love the ambiance and staff were all super friendly. Drinks were amazing from the classics to the creative! Overall a great experience and a must visit if you are in the mood for good cocktails!
Fake classiness, pseudo speakeasy, overpriced and uncomfortable. I was so excited to come to this bar expecting a quiet place to enjoy a drink with my partner before they leave the city. I heard that this bar was of a "speakeasy style" and would be "quiet and intimate". It was far from it. They have this concept of a super private and exclusive bar but do not treat their customers as such. We had to ring a doorbell to get in we made a booking and we turned a corner to immediately be seated by the door frame... AT A PIANO. not even a working piano! It was sealed shut so that the piano lid could be used as a table. This wasn't a grand piano but an upright with a sloped lid that could barely hold any drinks. We were also right in the main walk way so staff were literally running with bottles up and down very close to us and noisy arrivals of other customers through the door frame affect our conversation. My partner asked if we could move, to which the staff possibly the manager? came to tell us he was fully booked, even though the table next to us was empty for an HOUR. We were served by a lady who told us consistently she "doesn't work here" and doesn't really know the drinks. Took our orders. Came back with the WORST cocktails I've had in my life. It just felt like they mixed all the alcohols together with no thought of how it would taste. We took a few sips but couldn't finish, virtually leaving them untouched. The girl came back and asked if everything was OK, I told her honestly we didn't like them and she said again "I don't work here so I can't really recommend what you would like but I hear another one is good". This didn't feel me with confidence so I refused. In the end we were so uncomfortable with the loud music, drinks and seating we decided to leave without finishing our drinks. I took the drinks to the bar and asked for a bill which I thought would only be £22 as drinks were £11 each HOWEVER there were extra charges on top and had to pay over £24!!! I was shocked. Woman who dealt with my bill said I "should've told them and they would have changed the drinks" Thing is I did, and the other lady couldn't recommend me one. Made it feel as if it was my fault and I deserve to pay £24 for NOTHING. She asked me if I will be back. I said no. Very upset as we don't go to fancy bars often. This was suppose to be a treat but it turned into a horrible experience that I had to waste a lot of money on. My partner saw how distraught I was when I left and treated me to drinks at Aluna instead. It was FANTASTIC. It was the same atmosphere of loud music but it was a lot more spacious, comfortable, the drinks were AMAZING AND CHEAPER, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. A much better place to go than this pseudo fancy place. I was expecting Milk Thistle to be as classy as Circo or Opium in Bath which are fantastic quiet and intimate places. It couldn't be as much far from it! Very disappointed, and also out of pocket!
The place had such a cool and mysterious vibe to it. Firstly, as advertised the place is hidden in plain sight. Once inside the lightings and decor and ambience give you a very different experience. We tried 2 rub based cocktails. I don't like rum but loved the cocktail. So beautiful to look and taste! Will definitely go back again.
Loved the new cocktail menu, lovely staff and stunning venue. You always get treated well here. Recommend this place to everyone.
Excellent cocktails, a little bit more expensive than your normal pub cocktails but well worth the experience. Great menu of cocktails, other drinks are available if not a cocktail lover.
Love the menu designs and we tried the signature as the bartender recommended really like it and the one similar to negroni also really nice, staff really offers the best drinks for you
