Walkabout Bristol

Laid-back Aussie Vibes Right in the Heart of Bristol

Walkabout Bristol is a fun-loving, energetic Australian-themed bar and restaurant located on Corn Street in the city centre. Just a short stroll from many of Bristol’s top music venues, it’s the kind of place where you can grab a pint, enjoy classic pub grub, and soak up a friendly, lively atmosphere. With sports screens, upbeat music, and a spacious interior, it’s a top choice for anyone looking to kickstart their night out in style.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Walkabout nails it. Situated close to Bristol’s biggest live music spots, it’s a go-to for pre-show meetups. The vibe is buzzing but not overwhelming—think upbeat but not ear-splitting—which makes it ideal for chatting before the gig. Quick service, a solid drinks menu, and wallet-friendly food options all add to its appeal for concert-goers on the move.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for drinks and shared plates before a show
• Solo travelers wanting a casual, friendly spot to fuel up
• Couples seeking a lively, casual dinner before a night out
• Fans eager for a high-energy pre-concert buzz
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want tasty food and good vibes

What People Say

According to reviews, the atmosphere is one of Walkabout’s biggest strengths—“fun,” “energetic,” and “perfect for groups” are common phrases. Guests enjoy the classic pub-style menu, with burgers, wings, and loaded fries getting special mentions. Many appreciate the fast service and the bar’s ability to handle larger crowds without sacrificing friendliness.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the food is more about hearty comfort than culinary innovation—think tasty but standard pub fare. During big event nights, it can get crowded, and seating may be limited if you arrive late. Booking ahead or arriving early is a smart move.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a casual, energetic spot to eat, drink, and get in the mood for a show, Walkabout Bristol is a crowd-pleasing choice with Aussie charm and city-centre convenience.
