The Granary

About

Set within one of Bristol’s most striking Grade II-listed buildings near Queen Square, The Granary and The Granary Club offer a flexible two-venue destination for events of up to 250 guests ideal for conferences, celebrations and private dining. Few venues in Bristol allow organisers to host the entire event journey in one destination from daytime meetings and dining in The Granary to late-night cocktails and dancing in The Granary Club. 

The Granary is a vibrant all-day restaurant, bar and events venue housed within one of Bristol’s most distinctive Grade II-listed buildings near Queen Square in the heart of the city. Combining historic architecture with warm hospitality, the venue offers flexible spaces ideal for meetings, celebrations and private dining. 

Beneath The Granary sits The Granary Club an elegant late-night cocktail bar with a low-lit intimate atmosphere and a quietly iconic bar for those in the know - famously the one Del Boy fell through in Only Fools and Horses. Together the two venues allow organisers to host the entire event journey in one destination from breakfast meetings and daytime conferences through to evening dining, cocktails and late-night celebrations. With its striking historic interiors, fire-led kitchen and atmospheric late-night cocktail bar, The Granary offers a setting that feels both distinctly Bristol and effortlessly memorable for guests 

Conferences & Meetings 

The Granary provides a versatile and characterful setting for conferences, meetings and corporate gatherings. The venue can host up to 250 guests standing or 125 seated, while The Granary Club accommodates up to 100 guests, giving organisers the flexibility of two venues within one destination for larger events, networking receptions or breakout sessions. 

Just minutes from Bristol Temple Meads station, with nearby parking and disabled access, the venue is easily accessible for both local and travelling delegates. Multiple spaces can be used for presentations, networking or smaller breakout discussions, making it suitable for a wide range of corporate events. 

The experienced events team supports organisers from enquiry through to delivery, helping tailor layouts, menus and entertainment so every event runs smoothly from start to finish. 

Parties & Social Events 

The Granary provides a lively and atmospheric backdrop for celebrations, receptions and social gatherings of all sizes. Guests can enjoy seasonal menus, sharing feasts and drinks packages within the venue’s unique historic surroundings. 

Events can begin with drinks or dining in The Granary before transitioning seamlessly into The Granary Club for late-night cocktails, music and dancing creating a natural flow from celebration to after-party within one venue. Exclusive hire options are available across The Granary and The Granary Club, allowing organisers to create fully private events tailored to their guests. 

The Granary offers a vibrant setting for summer receptions, networking events and relaxed celebrations with seasonal food, cocktails and lively atmosphere. 

The festive season is a highlight at The Granary, with curated Christmas menus, drinks packages and exclusive hire options available for corporate celebrations, team gatherings and end-of-year parties. 

Gala Dinners & Private Dining 

The Granary offers a striking setting for gala dinners and formal celebrations within its historic interiors. Events can begin with welcome drinks, followed by three-course seated menus showcasing seasonal fire-cooked dishes, complemented by curated wine pairings and optional cheese courses. 

For a memorable finish to the evening, guests can continue their celebration with post-dinner drinks and dancing in The Granary Club, creating a seamless transition from dining to late-night entertainment. 

For smaller gatherings, private dining spaces provide an intimate yet stylish setting ideal for client entertaining, business dinners and special occasions. 

Their kitchen celebrates seasonal ingredients sourced from within a 30-mile radius with dishes inspired by Persian and Mediterranean flavours and cooked over an open fire to create bold and memorable dining experiences. 

Events can be complemented with local craft beers, curated wine pairings and expertly crafted cocktails allowing organisers to tailor drinks packages to suit the style of their event. 

Competitive Socialising & Team Building 

For organisers looking to incorporate entertainment or team-building elements into their event, The Granary work with trusted local partners to create engaging experiences. Their sister venue The Gaffe can arrange comedians for ice-breaker sessions or after-dinner entertainment, while our local creative suppliers can provide magicians, burlesque performers, floral workshops and live sketch artists to bring an interactive and memorable element to corporate gatherings. 

Social Impact 

The Granary proudly supports local charities including The Grand Appeal, Bristol Churches Shelter, and Street Smart UK. They are happy to collaborate with organisers wishing to incorporate a social impact element into their event and can support charitable initiatives, including contributing a percentage of event revenue towards partner or nominated charities.
