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

They’re diving deep! James Shinra’s dub-coded breaks and wiry acidic braindance have been turning heads and twisting minds for over a decade. He’s joined by one of Bristol’s underground legends, Lifeisfeedback – one of the brains behind Elevator Sound and countless other scene-shaping projects – for a night of live hardware debasement and total 303 insanity. We're Going Deep w/ James Shinra + Lifeisfeedback at The Love Inn.

Every Hyperdub fan’s favourite philosopher finally gets the eerie Adam Curtis-esque experimental documentary treatment he deserves. Stringing together Instagram interviews and sci-fi meta-narrative on a Fisher-friendly £0 budget, We Are Making A Film About Mark Fisher dares to dive into the modern malaise of capitalist realism, cyberpunk, acid communism and cultural hauntology. DIY CINEMA Presents: We Are Making A Film About Mark Fisher at 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...' Shy One 'Mali' Album Tour + Roo at The Love Inn.

One half of the much-loved DIY party Night Moves alongside cosmic wanderer Jane Fitz, Jade Seatle is a certified party-starter with an ear for the dark, the deep and the strange. Catch her exploring spacey techno and earthy, wigged-out dancefloor sounds, joined by Strictly Wax’s Slim on the minimal tech goodness. Extended session for the Thursday bank holiday down the Inn

A huge new supergroup from five of Bristol’s most esteemed experimental scene improvisers. In the mix: t l k, Grove, Biped, EJ:Akin & O'lenahan combine forces to create ethereal clatter drawing from jazz, dub and ambient. Echoes of their last Wetware jam are still hanging in the air for those who caught it! MONOSUM (t l k, grove, biped, ej:akin & o'lenahan) join the open jam for a one off ticketed event!
