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

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. CHIDA + Moli at The Love Inn.

Black Rave Culture’s super trio of Amal, James Bangura & Nativesun bring hip-swinging Jersey club, jagged footwork and jackin’ ghetto-house heat to The Inn all the way from the US and fresh from setting booths ablaze across their UK/EU tear up. Essential whompin’ cross-genre club heat FFO: DJ Swisha, Ikonika, Kush Jones, Karen Nyame. Black Rave Culture at The Love Inn.

A Colourful Storm eats your favourite borderless / post-genre label for breakfast. Why? Cos bossman Moopie can slay a b2b with Lena Willikens AND drop game-changing comps of wistful dream pop. Get you a DJ who can do both! This is gonna be a wild, emotional ride through dubby synthwave, trip-bass schematics and Babalon-burning dnb reverie from Naarm’s master curator. Moopie + Anil at The Love Inn.

Free entry / PWYC! A local wellspring of evidence-based drug use support, BDP host a round table discussion on harm-reduction at the peak of festival season. Whether you want advice on addiction or just an idea of what else is actually IN that white powder, this session will offer an essential grounding in how to be a better friend, ally and club warrior too. Bristol Drugs Project: A Deep Dive into Drugs, Nightlife & Harm Reduction at The Love Inn.

Ishmael Ensemble touch down with another curation, inviting London's Charlie Dark (Attica Blues) onto the plates. A regular at the legendary Plastic People and the driving force behind Blacktronica, his crates run deep, tracing loose threads between slow-burning boogie, soulful house, jazz rarities and blissed-out grooves... music for the hips as much as the heads! FFO: Shy One, Theo Parrish, Bradley Zero. From DJing while still in school in South East London to an MBE to The Love Inn
