A stylish café bar and outdoor terrace on Bristol’s Harbourside.
The Architect is ideal for relaxed networking events, group bookings, celebrations & talks. The waterside terrace (40 people) & venue (60 people) are available for hire Sunday to Wednesday in a welcoming, city-centre setting.

The Architect has instantly become one of my favourite Bristol haunts. The cosy bar brings a sophisticated and glamorous 1930s style to the bustling harbourside.
