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

Essential local heads clash with next-gen ruffneck cosmic junglism from No Nation, going track-for-track with Soz Lad’s Nymfro in total tearout mode. Two rising prophets of amen break futurism FFO: Sheba Q, DJ Die, Sully, Photek, Reinforced Recs etc etc. BORDER CONTROL No Nation B2b Nymfro at Crofters Rights.

4 hours of earth-shattering sound system selects for the price of a Guinness? Bristol’s own born-and-bred dreadnought descends on Crofters for a night of serious 140 / steppas / hxc bassweight with fellow dubstep alchemist Medis. Another Erratic Batting home run! Grime, Dubstep, Rave, Dancehall and various mutated sound system music

Cult ‘all tribes / all genres’ soundsystem night promising no two songs of the same genre b2b for a slice of pure ADHD genre escapism. Expect everything from congotronics to gospel, jungle to lovers rock, bhangra to dancehall. All night curveballs for oddballs

Nothing cuts through the fog of clubland like darkside dnb/techstep rollers done proper. Djinn brings those classic 90s Metalheadz vibes with a laser-guided precision - expect dangerous breakbeat action and unholy drum science of the highest order FFO: Ed Rush & Optical, Exit Recs, RuptureLDN, UVB-76. DJ/Producer Djinn returns to Bristol

Crofter’s go-to rap / trap / 140 chrome cleaners make a welcome return with a stacked Bristol lineup featuring local boom-bap hero Wish Master, fast-rising drill MC Kahill Wolf and Ssadcharlie’s frantic JPEGMAFIA stylings. 10 need-to-know acts in here for all BS hip-hop heads!
