Cafe Kino

Co-operative cafe with intimate performance space downstairs.


Cafe Kino is a collectively run vegan cafe and radical grassroots arts hub in Stokes Croft. Fiercely progressive and unapologetically queer-led, its 75-standing capacity basement hosts everything from DIY punk, hardcore and alt-folk gigs to arts workshops and avant-garde film screenings, all rooted in independence and collective care.

Our recent recommendations for Cafe Kino

Meemo Comma’s cybernetic ambient breakbeat paired with live 303-drenched melodic techno from prolific local producer Tudor Acid!? Fans of Seefeel, Aphex Twin + golden era Planet Mu / Warp / Rephlex squelches; your new favourite artist's inside... Meemo Comma, ZOiD, Tudor Acid at Cafe Kino.

Wistful American Primitivist fingerpicking from post-rock svengali turned windswept instrumentalist Glenn Jones. The man's got mountains inside of him, sliding across banjo bodies and 12 strings of steel like Basho and Fahey will never die, with Liam Grant's tape-saturated rambler revisionism as otherworldly travel companion. You'll need to wait many months before a solo guitar sermon this good lands on these shores again. Preach! Join us for an evening of solo acoustic guitar music with Glenn Jones & Liam Grant

Arch party-doomers Gurt hotbox the Kino basement with pink bong smoke and odious NOLA-tinged riffage alongside Mortuary's cemetery sludge creep and thee most dungeon local support possible (Cryptbreaker / Necronomicunt). Evil amp psychosis for fetid followers of: Down, Pigs x 7, Bongripper, Venom. GURT w/ CRYPTBREAKER, MORTUARY & NECRONOMICUNT @ Cafe Kino

Alien jams for the sweet at heart! Stargazing synthesized soul drippers incoming from the hotly-tipped Ray Laurél, landing in Bristol for the first time en route from freaky falsetto R&B galaxies hitherto traversed by Frank Ocean, Blood Orange, Thundercat, Jai Paul. Multi-disciplinary artist Ray Laurél presents their forthcoming record "Neptune Rising"

Uh-oh the Terror Corps are at it again! Rowdy and abrasive brats of the Avon underground assemble for one-woman digi-hxc plantdustrial revolution Waterflower, Lifeisfeedback's hardware debasement, Distraxi & Monika Badly inna harsh noise gremlin double trouble + Sade Arellano's chain-death folk murder.
