Cloak

RIP the Cloak and Dagger, long live Cloak! Opening to the public in September 2023, Cloak offers a glimmer of hope for Bristol's venue scene. Queer owned, for everyone, Cloak is run by Sparky (27) and a team of creatives. Cloak is a community space first and everything you see has been done by the penny and by the skills and passion of Bristol's thriving Queer scene.

Upstairs you'll find 'The living Room' as a cafe during the day from 12pm Tuesday-Sunday and 4pm on Mondays - with a full working fireplace! The space hosts local Radical Roasters immaculate coffee blends, local pastries and sweet treats and subs, bagels and more from The Dough Kitchen. With walls covered by local artists and decked in greenery you can sit back and relax or visit their sister store Collectors Cave (with a 20% discount on Cloak goodies with Collectors Cave purchase).

As night falls you'll be tempted to venture to the best kept secret. Downstairs 'The Closet' is where you'll find an intimate venue space, hosting local breweries such as Wiper and True and Arbor, as well as a newly curated Cocktail and Mocktail bar. Surrounded by psychedelic plants, funky lamps and light reactive art you'll find the upstairs vibes have merged into a space of liberation to dance all night long. Powered by Dharma Hifi, whether you're in the mood for the Italia of 'Don's of Disco', some heavy baseline from Foto Sounds or want to zen out with Queer Haus Yoga + Meditation. This unique space has room for every idea, no matter how big or small.

With monthly film screenings from GAY24 to bi-weekly jam nights with Space Jams, get ready to hear and see it all and leave refreshed and connected. This place is guaranteed to feel like home.
