Crofters Rights

Crofters Rights

Consistent live music venue and craft beer bar in Stokes Croft.


Long before the days of Cafe Kino, The Canteen and Poco, Stokes Croft had Turbo Island and crucial Bristol venue ?The Croft?. The good news is that neither of these hotspots of local culture are going anywhere. While the management of The Croft may have migrated to Old Market to set up the excellent Exchange, the building lives on as a great live music venue and launch pad for new club promoters.

The Crofter?s Rights maintains The Croft?s, noisy-bar-out-front, venue-in-the-backroom layout, but has significantly improved the layout of the bar room. A focus on craft beer has been prevalent since The Crofter?s Rights launch in 2014 and the bar is home to an ever-changing chalkboard of delights.

Our recent recommendations for Crofters Rights

Experimental post-rock from local distortion artists GRANDCHILD, whose hot-forged cataclysm soundscapes oscillate between shoegaze-inflected dark ambient and seriously muscular drone. Big trippy textures FFO GY!BE, Bowery Electric, MBV, CAN, Slint, Duster. GRANDCHILD + NOAH RADLEY + RINGTONES at Crofters Rights.

Dizzying ciphers and flows wrapped in breezy jazz dreams, low-slung rnb and inventive electro boom bap, Nappy Nina infiltrates your hazy mindspace from an inner universe made of clouds. Best Bristol rap booking in ages! Damn essential FFO: B. Cool-Aid, keiyaA, Quelle Chris, H31R, MIKE, Moor Mother & billy woods. NAPPY NINA + COLD LIGHT COLLECTIVE at Crofters Rights.

Ramshackle alt-country meets freak folk in Nile Robinson & The Countrymen. Imagine if Jeff Tweedy, Bob Dylan and Daniel Johnston started a wonky lo-fi side project, now add in support from 7-piece weirdo-pop girlies The Freakshow and this smells like an emerging new anti-folk scene - we’re here for it. Big FFO: Kurt Vile, Alex G, The Tallest Man On Earth, Diane Cluck, Michael Hurley. Nile Robinson & The Countrymen ALBUM RELEASE SHOW at Crofters Rights.

Fearless RinseFM resident + queen of “stank face music” Jay Carder joins LOCKMARS for another Crofters all-nighter. Expect a dynamic bass-ridden journey criss-crossing dub, techno, breaks and percussive club bangerz. LOCKMARS: Jay Carder at Crofters Rights.

Psych-pop double feature alert! Texan four piece Holy Wave’s languid garage-tinged lullabies will bliss out even the most hardened Crofters punter. With spellbinding stoner-surf from Dreamwave on support, this is essential end of the week anaesthesia FFO DIIV, Tame Impala, Sugar Candy Mountain, Pond, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Heaters. HOLY WAVE + DREAMWAVE + REDMOOR at Crofters Rights.
