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.

Pessimist’s musical output has been monumental over the years, from his ominous industrial‑breakbeat on Ilian Tape, to his relentless dark‑side pressure on Blackest Ever Black, to the bone-rattling pressure on Osiris. For this one, he’s bringing his full jungle arsenal – brace yourselves. Rekonize w/ Pessimist , Deselecta + more at The Love Inn.

Sleep Felt Far Away keeps it raw and unhurried, stripping things back to the essentials: two DJs, long sets and room to roam. This edition welcomes DJ JM (Nervous Horizon), diving deep into percussive house, kinetic techno and skeletal electro frameworks alongside Ido Plumes’ ice-cold club intricacy.
