The Love Inn

Lively bar on Stokes Croft set up by the Love Saves The Day team.


Since the days of Mackie's, 84 Stokes Croft has always been one of the area's most important venues. The building's current incarnation as The Love Inn continues where Big Chill left off - better programming, better sound and a more considered layout finally realises 84's potential.

With Team Love (the guys behind Love Saves The Day) at the helm, we're finally beginning to see collaborations with quality local promoters and well curated programme of DJs and producers.

Our recent recommendations for The Love Inn

Ultra-cosmic club hypnosis! Two of Bristol’s masterful chug titans unite for a mammoth all-night B2B: Cruise serves up a feast of bumpin’ psych-dub enchantment while Ido Plumes navigates slo-mo bass pressure, warped dub mechanics and visceral sonic landscapes. Ido Plumes B2B Cruise at The Love Inn.

Dive deeeep into brain-cleansing dubwise hypnosis! Collaborating with Paul St Hilaire, the legendary voice of Rhythm & Sound, Richard Akingbehin’s Kynant Records threads 90s Basic Channel haze through plush contemporary dub-techno poetics. Joined by i-sha’s world-building intricacies, this is a complete no brainer FFO: Monolake, livwutang, Batu & Kia. Richard Akingbehin + i-Sha at The Love Inn.

Big B2B bizniz from two of the sharpest bass operatives in dubstep and grime’s murky depths - this one is gonna rattle the whole of Stokes Croft! Repping Bandulu, Young Echo and Gorgon Sound, Neek has been a fixture of the city’s dubwise sound for yonks. His thunderous dubstep and grime-steeped steppas paired with Medis’ chopped’n’screwed beats will be a real treat for ya ears. Medis B2B Neek at The Love Inn.

Prepare to get schooled by one of the biggest legends in the game: DJ Nature aka DJ Milo of Bristol's era-defining Wild Bunch posse. Decades on, his selections remain as soulful as ever… gliding through bass-soaked deep house, punk, hip-hop, jazz, dub and beyond. No nostalgia trip here, just the real deal from someone who helped write the rulebook! DJ Nature of The Wild Bunch fame comes string up for 6hours down the Inn

There’s absolutely no let up from The Love Inn this summer! Touching down next is Tokyo's self-styled house musik maven, whose marathon-long sets have become embedded in the lore of DIY devotees and big festival phreaks alike. ½ of Mascaras with fellow cosmic wanderer 5ive, expect sludgy dance oddities and slow-burning psychedelia, hovering in the same orbit as Powder, Ivan Smagghe, Phuong-Dan.
