A 21st century spa, restaurant and alfresco<br />
pool housed in beautifully renovated 19th<br />
century surroundings. the lido originally<br />
opened its doors in 1850 and remained in<br />
business for over 100 years before falling into<br />
disrepair in 1990. the Glassboat Company<br />
saved the building from developers (who<br />
wanted to turn the site into flats) and restored<br />
the buildings to their former gory, reopening in<br />
november 2008. Find a heated, low-chlorine<br />
infinity pool, sauna and steam room, restaurant<br />
and poolside bar, and luxurious spa.<br />
A magnificent replica of a tudor merchant<br />
ship which recreated the Atlantic crossing by<br />
explorer John Cabot. He was searching for a<br />
sailing route to Asia but ended up “discovering”<br />
newfoundland. Get the best views of <strong>Bristol</strong><br />
harbour from the deck on one of their regular<br />
public cruises – fish and chip suppers on board<br />
are extremely popular – or you can venture<br />
down the scenic Avon Gorge under the Clifton<br />
suspension Bridge. there are also offshore sailing<br />
opportunities and the ship is available for private<br />
hire – check website for sailing programme.<br />
Charm, atmosphere, hospitality and<br />
gorgeous food have been served up in this<br />
legendary restaurant and pizza bar for the past<br />
40 years. Well known for its warm welcome<br />
and connection with the arts world it has<br />
become a favourite haunt for actors, musicians<br />
and theatre-goers alike, and of course the<br />
many cherished generations of loyal customers.<br />
Complemented by its late night pizza Bar<br />
downstairs (open until 2am), renato’s<br />
taverna strikes a fine balance between<br />
elegance and informality.<br />
the shore Cafe Bar, inspired by <strong>Bristol</strong>’s heritage,<br />
affords great people-watching opportunities as<br />
you park yourself in front of the big windows<br />
and observe the hustle and bustle of the harbour<br />
outside. Food ranges from a simple bagel and<br />
coffee, to a zesty light luncheon, to a classic<br />
fish and chip supper via olives, wraps, jackets,<br />
charcuterie and more. Boasts an extensive wine<br />
and cocktail list and a good selection of lager<br />
and bottled beer. If you’re looking for something<br />
more formal, the river Grille serves classic<br />
English dishes with a twist.<br />
