Packed beer hall under a Victorian station roof

Steam Clifton

Beer hall.
Terrace. Party.

Built into the old Clifton Down Station, Steam Clifton is all iron beams, long benches and a terrace that stays open whatever Bristol throws at it. Come for a pint after work, stay for the band, book the whole tent for your birthday. No dress code, no fuss, no closing the kitchen early.

An old station
that never
stopped moving.

Room to breathe

Two hundred covers under iron beams, long shared benches and a bar you can actually get to.

Open when you are

Kitchen on late, terrace heated all year, and doors until 1am Friday and Saturday.

Bring everyone

Dogs, prams, five-a-side teams, your nan. Big groups welcome — just give us a heads up.

The terrace

Outside, all year.

Covered, heated and strung with festoons, the terrace runs whatever the forecast says. Fire pits, blankets, long benches and a bar of its own when it's busy.
