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

Shy One is without doubt one of the biggest heads in the game. Growing up in London during the height of grime and pirate radio, her dank and groovin’ style is rooted in sound system culture with a soulful, jazz poise that feels on par with some of the all-time greats like Ron Trent and Theo Parrish. We’ll be telling our kids ‘I was there for the golden age of Shy One'... Shy One 'Mali' Album Tour + Roo at The Love Inn.

Don’t miss Lisa Rovner’s excellent corrective to the canon: Sisters with Transistors traces the strange birth of electronic music through the unsung female architects who first coaxed melody from oscillators and tape. From Clara Rockmore’s ghostly theremin to Delia Derbyshire’s Radiophonic wizardry, this is a playful, illuminating tribute to sonic futurists. Love Inn Film Club #03 - Sisters with Transistors at The Love Inn.

For nine years, Club Djembe have championed only the sharpest UK funky, amapiano, gqom and grime with their signature percussion-heavy swagger. They return to their longtime Love Inn HQ to light the candles with French hard drum titan Kaval – impeccable club pressure inside FFO: Simo Cell, Marcus Nasty, DJ Python, Pearson Sound. Club Djembe's 9th Birthday w/ Kaval & Guests at The Love Inn.

The Afghan teen rapper activist who found her power on the mic to protest oppression: Sonita’s story documents her escape from child marriage and refugee life in Iran, and her ongoing journey as an outspoken advocate for women’s rights.
