The Croft

The Croft

The legendary home of outsider bands and Bristol's dubstep heyday!


A Stokes Croft icon returns thanks to Music Venue Properties' 'Save Our Venues' Campaign + the team behind The Mothers Ruin, The Colosseum, The Crown and the booking brains behind Exchange.

The lovingly revamped Croft will hold 140 sweaty gig-goers with a focus on live music - as well as carefully curated clubnights.

The doors will burst wide open on 12 September after a successful fundraising campaign. You can expect 14 beers on tap from local supplies, 7 days a week. We can't bloody wait!
