Horrific dining experience. Started unsatifactorily with rude manager in response to a polite request to change from bar stool table to normal table due to physical disability (pre booked in advance and no option to choose table type. Was unhelpfully told by said manager to put it in the comments when booking). Once seated we began to use the app to order as not given menus. Manager came over to take a drinks order, unhappy we were using app so then provided menus. Visa card was requested and taken to set up the tab and this was then not returned and remained with the manqger (we assume) for the rest of our time eating. Order arrived part hot part cold. Pizza ordered had minimal topping on half the pizza, did not cover much of the pizza and left of unedible crust. 2 pieces of goats cheese on whole goats cheese pizza. Cheesy chips were chosen as an option between fries and chips. Fries were given incorrectly. Pork chorizo empendas (plural) chosen from the small plates menu. Arrived cold and soggy. 1 small empanada cut in half arrived, not the multiple as on menu. £5.50 charge. It tasted bland - no taste at all of chorizo (normally overpowering taste). Halloumi fries also ordered were hot, well cooked and tasty. Drinks arrived promptly and as ordered. On asking for the bill ourselves (as we waited a long time with no one clearing plates) the waitress asked if everything was ok. My partner mentioned that a couple of things werent great. The waitress said she would speak to the manager. The manager came over and was rude, passive aggressive and abrupt from the start of the conversation. Absolutely no customer service skills at all. He proceeded to not listen to a word of us trying to explain the incorrect things with our meal, even when the printed menu proved him incorect. He said he would eat things as they had been served so we shouldnt have a problem with them. We then informed him that we actually ordered puddings the night before as room service (as staying in the hotel above), which caused us to be ill all night. We had already pre booked so gave the benefit of the doubt to still eat there the following night. We would not recommend at all and would urge the manager to go undertake some customer service training. The ladies who served the food to the table and intially booked us in were all polite and attentive. Thank you ladies.

I recently got married in Bristol and we had our wedding reception here, I highly recommend this place to anyone else who wants an intimate low key event of any kind. The staff are super friendly, easy to deal with, kind and understanding. We chatted with Kysha, an events manager, who was there to answer all our questions, at any time. Closer to the day we popped in to drop off a few things, the cake was held in their fridges overnight (relief!). Shout-out to the upbeat guy with longish dark hair who assisted us and made us feel at ease with it all. On the night, the manager with short light brownish hair was really nice too, popped in a few times to check on things and was really understanding. The food was absolutely amazing as well, we opted for the buffet menu and chose vegan and vegetarian options which were really good value for money, super tasty and everyone loved it all! Thank you so much for hosting us! (October 1st wedding party)

Before I start please excuse the terrible quality of the photos...temporary phone in use. So..it's hard to believe the bar is anything associated with the Clifton Hotel, the hotel itself is pretty grim in all honesty, especially for the location. It's in desperate need of remodelling, the staff are great in all fairness, but due to the location and the photos online I was expecting more...although I didn't make the booking so unsure of the room rates. But to Racks Bar itself ..huge underground venue situated underneath the hotel brilliant chilled Sunday atmosphere, some really pleasant staff , especially Reave who mainly waited on us, making me feel right at home instantly. I went for the Racks Burger as was feeling pretty delicate from the night before and it hit the spot perfectly ... a huge amount of perfectly cooked beef, and surprisingly without the addition of cheese was 10 /10. Quite a nice varied menu which I wouldn't mind going through on my return to Bristol. All together I think this bar is great and would love to visit again on a busy night to see how the atmosphere plans out say on a Friday or Saturday evening . I can safely say I'll be regularly returning whenever I'm in my second home city. Thanks guys

Booked for a Christmas meal for 5 of us. The booking system went smoothly and communication was great. We arrived for our meal and were welcomed straight away and taken to our table which was laid out very nicely. The food was really lovely, anyone who knows me well will know what a compliment that is!! There was plenty of it too. We asked for the excess to be packed up and managed to give 2 different people practically a whole Christmas dinner each on the way home. As it's Sunday night it was quiet in there but this wasn't an issue for us as we only went out to spend time with each other anyway. I'm sure it's more lively on a weekend evening if that's what you are after. The price for the 3 courses was reasonable in comparison to the majority of places and was one of the reasons we chose the day we did. If I had any criticism at all it would be that we weren't asked if we would like drinks through the meal. BUT it was nice to not be constantly hounded like in some places, and actually we were all quite glad to not end up with a hangover on Christmas Eve All in all a really good night and I would recommend them. Thanks Racks for looking after us! Merry Christmas!

Firstly a very warm welcome and very friendly team at the bar and table. We had a few cocktails on a Sunday with our roast which were made quickly and tasted delicious. We opted for a Sunday roast which also didn't take too long. The nut roast was tasty, and the gravy (which admittedly there could have been a bit more of) and puree were also great. The beef got a good review and a few nods from my partner also. Cauliflower cheese was okay, the roasted parsnips were great, however the roast potatoes left quite a bit to be desired. A couple of them were undercooked and barely browned, however certainly didn't ruin the meal. The star of the show was the giant Yorkshire pudding. I also had the fruity cheesecake to finish and all in all will certainly be back again.

Warm, cozy atmosphere with traditional pub feel . Not really clear when you walk in where to go , not always someone about so may be worth just having a sign saying to wait . Roast for the most part was delicious !! my friend and I both had pork and it was amazing . Good size portions and definitely worth the money . Potatoes and gravy were a bit cold but they were also taking out a big tables food at the same time so nothing to really complain about , and didn’t make it inedible . My Yorkshire was a bit hard but that’s more of a personal preference thing . Veg and meat was soo good and they gave extra gravy with no issue . Service was slightly slow at times but it was really busy and our server Jason was super super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much of an issue . Could tell he was swept off his feet and working hard so didn’t mind waiting a little bit extra time . It’s my second time having a roast here and will definitely be back again .

Went here for an office Christmas party. We're only a small office and there were some other huge parties also going on at the same time, but the size of the venue meant we were all in our own locations, and weren't disturbed by any other party. The staff were smiling, friendly and efficient, and the prices weren't outrageous for drinks. A good range including a low alcohol beer on draft. Food was brilliant. Despite how busy they were, our food was tasty, piping hot and of a very good quality. Plenty of gravy and vegetables with the turkey, interesting starters and a brilliant dessert. Really impressed with Racks!

Came here last week for works Christmas meal. Excellent welcome from Jason firstly, we had never been before and he was very helpful, showing us to our table and where we could find everything else. Henry was also very accommodating to our table throughout the whole night, he was friendly and informative and made everyone at the table feel catered for. The food was incredible, and I highly recommend the feathered beef. It was delicious and tasty. We had a couple of gluten free dietary requirements in our table and the food was of the same great standard for these meals. The bar staff were also very helpful, thankyou to Mia, Meg and Bob for a great service. Would definitely recommend :)

Visiting from Spain and staying close, Racks has been an amazingly friendly atmosphere even for a single traveller. In particular I had exceptional service from Jasmine who helped me select my meal this evening from a variety of small bites (which ended up a very tasty and filling meal - great recommendation thanks Jasmine). Really tasty and great variety. Slow cooked lamb, Halloumi fingers and spicey chilli sauce and smoked salmon and dill fishcakes ... Fabulous!! Yesterday I tried the Hereford Beef burger - really delicious and perfect fries. Had very friendly service from Paul. (great sense of humour!) Thank you for making my visit so relaxed and pleasant ❤️

Had a works party in the playroom and what a great night it was. Our host for the night was Beth, she was absolutely amazing. Not once did we have to ask her to top things up, she was on the case all night. Beth even kept us posted on what we had left drink wise. Best host we could have had. The package deal food and drink wise was very reasonable and well worth it, cocktails alcoholic and non alcoholic was spot on. The food however was outstanding and so much to go around. Everything was labelled very well bar the bread rolls as we had some gluten free people that I informed where there's but by the time they got there some people had taken them so we had to ask for 1 more. Apart from that it was a great evening, with a great venue and an amazing host in Beth.

Had a really nice mid-week evening at Racks. Couple of nice glasses of wine and a lovely cheese board to share. The evening was made more special by Paul who gave excellent service and remembered both of our drinks orders, as well as offering some great advice on the spirits we were thinking of trying. All in all, a lovely night and we probably wouldn’t have stopped for the whole evening there without Paul making us feel really at home. The only minor thing I would advise them not to do is to hold a credit card physically behind the bar for a tab, better to take a provisional holding swipe of the card as I wouldn’t normally like handing my credit card over.

Our band, The Shuffles Band from Bristol, were booked to play at Rack's NYE party 2018. Being a wedding and function band we get to see a lot of venues in the area. The food was a really good standard. Aruna and Colin run a tight happy ship. Staff could not be more helpful. The vibe was laid back and really friendly. Good facilities for a party. The band could play in one section for the evening dancing and those guests that wanted to chat could be in another section of the bar. Being in the bar/basement area noise traveling from the band was not a problem. Central to Bristol and easy to access we would recommend Racks as a wedding/party venue and also as a nice place to hang, have a drink and eat.

Nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Fish finger sandwich was really quite awful, definitely tasted off and it was not fish fingers like stated on the menu, neither was it on bloomer bread - got the feeling it was thrown together with very old ingredients The steak sandwich was super tough and was really disappointing. So chewy it was basically inedible. Fries were delicious, but we in essence paid £40 for two bowls of fries, the rest was really not good. May have been an off day, but certainly was disappointing.

I just had a drink - great atmosphere, a bit pricey and very loud! Staff are great though and a nice vibe. It's only as pricey as most pubs these days, but it's certainly busy - mixture of people and not as many students as you'd expect considering its location. Easy to order on the app, but you can be waiting quite a while when it's busy!

Pretty good veggie options and a few vegan too - but give the vegan 'fish' and chips a hard pass!

We hired the speakeasy and alcoves spaces for a 40th party. It’s a great venue and staff were really helpful and accommodating (particularly Ryan!). Overall we had a great night and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. To book a space you have to spend £400 on food, we didn’t feel like the size of the buffet was good value, considering the cost. It definitely didn’t feel like £400 worth of food! However, the food received was delicious. The speakeasy space was used as a thoroughfare by the staff, so there were charging back back forth all night, this wasn’t ideal. Didn’t exactly make it feel like our space.

We had there our Christmas party dinner. The food was fine , I'm not a big fan of food I chose earlier . Portions were ok, all the meals were good but all the veggies were not so tasty. Service was fast, and waitresses were asking all the time if we wanted a drink or something. Atmosphere there is amazing, place is beautiful. I tried to do photos of all the foods we got.

T’was good!

Food was average, but prices were really good and the staff were 10/10. They were super friendly and service was fast but whilst we were there there was an incident with a member of staff and the manager (ryan) literally dropped the food he was about to serve and dealt with his member of staff and honestly, made me so happy to see there are decent managers left in the world. Ryan you're a 10/10 person, manager and a man! You, Ryan.. are single handedly the reason I'd come back again!

It was very convenient to the Clifton hotel where I was staying. It has both outdoor and indoor seating. I went for brunch and ordered the Eggs Benedict and toast. It was ok. The eggs were poached well and hollandaise was too thick and not enough of it on the eggs for my preference so to me it was a bit dry but it tasted fine. Service was very friendly and they were happy to help with anything you needed.

Absolutely perfect for a large party. Can’t thank the staff enough. We were 20 guys on a stag do; despite being horrendously loud the staff were amazing - fun, tolerant and attentive. We were given a semi-private room which was ideal. They were communicative and well organised taking pre-orders in advance, and flexible when we needed to make changes. Food was good and the whole thing fairly priced

This place is an absolute gem in Clifton. It was rugby night at the time we went so it was extremely busy. Still the staff was super nice, and we got a table in a more quiet part of the bar, away from the cheering crowd so we could have a chat. The food is absolutely amazing, plenty of veggie options. They even made me a cocktail that wasn't on the menu. 100% recommend them.

Henry and Freya were super friendly, attentive and gave great service! Henry checked on a few things we asked in relation to the vegan options and overall made the experience lovely!

I had the vegan options on the Mother’s Day 3 course menu, all the food was delicious!

The food was amazing but it was just a shame that we had hoped for a quiet evening. I think having people dining should be reconsidered if there's a joint 30th birthday disco going on - as we couldn't hear ourselves talk. Staff were very kind though and patient as some of the people I was with aren't used to pay as you go food. Also dog friendly and steak was perfect.

Had the company's Christmas do there. Well organised, food arrived for all quickly. Food was ok, but the pannacotta was a bit bullet like, too much gelatine, I think. We were in the Ski Lodge, which is a nice and cosy setting. This is a good place for large gatherings!

A nice pub with plenty of outdoor space. They have many big tables so you can easily arrange for a larger group. The staff is super fun and kind - you can have a nice chat and agood laugh while ordering. It is a nice place for a drink. The food is quite good, but as to my taste it could be improved. They have a variety of options so easily can something you like.

Came here for both lunch and dinner on the same day. The service was hospitable, prompt and good. I had Gnocchi as part of the 5 pound lunch deal which is of very good value! Had pizza for dinner which was pretty good but nothing to shout about. The restaurant is huge with lots of seats and very cozy and comfortable ambience, had a great gathering there.

I've been to Racks many times before and recommend it for the delicious and extensive menu as well as the always courteous and friendly staff. There's something for everyone and the quality is great. Racks also has great seating whether it's inside or out and is a great place for anything from after work drinks to a meal out with friends and family.

Impromptu visit for a drink turned into a lovely evening out with food - pizzas were 2 for 1 so why not. Great food, very friendly & attentive staff. Will definitely return.

Not convinced by Racks. Last couple of times I have been has been meeting friends. Pretty impersonal vibe, very Clifton and feels overpriced for what you get. The food is unimaginative and the staff are clearly hating their life (admittedly I think I would be too if I had to deal with the people who frequent Racks)

It's convenient for anyone staying at the Clifton Inn hotel. Service could be better, just a little more communication between staff. The food was just good, I would recommend the smashed avocado which was easily the best thing I ate whilst staying there.

Amber and Jason were so helpful to the six of us. Everything was excellent.

Attended a Part 2 wedding event. The venue is amazing and an area was cordoned off for us. The bbq was amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit this venue again.

Went for a wedding reception. Food was nice and staff were pleasant. The woman who was meant to be organising didnt turn up so that's not great but the staff picked up her slack very well. Was a bit too hot inside though and too busy outside

Popped in looking to kill some time ended up chatting to the bar staff about recommendations for the area for my stay. Connor was super helpful! Gave me some real recommendations about what I was looking for, really took the time to help.

Fantastic, friendly service from Meg who looked after us very well. 2 for 1 game pie was not only delicious but also great value.

This place is freaking amazing! They could use a bit more accessibility for their less physically capable customers, but that is the ONLY negative I can say!

What a great place. Lots in door and external seating. Staff were really helpful and really polite. Had the beetroot and goat cheese salad. So good!! Plenty of everything, fresh and delicious. Definitely go there again.

Work Christmas lunch, good quality for mass catering, excellent friendly service, good pre Christmas atmosphere. Drinks were a bit pricey, however I like the venue.
