The Knowhere Guide

Going Out in Knowle, Bristol*

Knowle, Bristol Clubs, Music Venues, Cinemas

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• Clubs yeah right. Not unless you count switching the lights on and off to Top of The Pops. Only a short bus journey away, the Bristol city centre has a lively night club scene sometimes you can go clubbing and not be threatened with a knife.
• Fiddlers - or Fiddz to those in the know. Cheesy and tacky and there is no local alternative, but go with the right frame of mind and have a laugh.

Live Music Venues

• Not unless you count switching the lights on and off in you front room while your Brother strums out badly played Oasis. BRISTOL NEEDS AN ARENA, bands get too famous for the Anson Rooms when they have been on the tele.
• McCabes pub for a bit of folk style jamming, Flannigans bar for occaisional band and 'comedy church' plus more chance of specialised DJs, Fiddz may have occaisional bands.

Cinemas

• The Gaiety was very nice but it got knocked down.
• They closed down the Gaiety, it was left derelict for five years and has now been knocked down. Why waste money on cinemas? Get down to Now Music and video for 'reel deels'.
• Vikingar shows films a few weeks later than everywhere else, but is a good venue because of it's name and Viking stuff

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Knowle.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
