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

Broken beats and polyrhythmic mania from Control Freak’s Toupaz, whose rattling productions perfectly balance lulling ambient textures, menacing microsounds and prime half-time / double-time goodness. Essential attendance for fans of Yushh, Minor Science, Piezo, CCL. Toupaz + MINNIM B2B Azumei at The Love Inn.

The gayest garage night in town from Scotland’s finest braindance wreckin’ crew! Headset’s gone all out this time with realllll trained dancers strutting the place up and the usual 4x4 excellence / swung wobbles from Skillis and more. Headset's Gay Garage's return to The Love Inn, its spiritual home!

Amphibians for trans rights (obviously). Purveyors of psychedelic, embodied dancefloor vibrations, Organics host the addictive acid techno, trance and hard house sounds of MS. G for this delectable Love Inn x Trans Pride blowout. Raising funds for Bristol and London trans pride marches

Uncompromising NY braindance clobber from Ma Sha (Kindergarten / Sha Ra), leading a quadruple club billing with her patent percussive bass-heavy swagger, trip-techno and post-ardkore bangers. With Jay Duncan’s high stepping dubtek stylings, this is a Friday no-brainer FFO: Timedance, TSV1, Surusinghe, Objekt, Al Wooton. Big line up of heads from Seasoning

Dimeshift label boss Axle’s melting pot of dark garage, dubstep and grime paired with Dub Athlete’s militant technoid steppas and Rareman’s raw pulsating breakbeat will make for some SERIOUS noise at The Love Inn.
