The Tube
Basement,1 Unity Street , BS1 5HH, Bristol
Can Bristol boast any true celebrities? Carol Vorderman lives in Clifton when she's not putting letters onto walls in Leeds. Topless model Kathy Barry is also rumored to be on the scene, but who knows where?
Bearing this in mind, if you do want to see a (semi) famous face, the best place has to be the Tube, tucked away at the bottom of Park Street.
Formerly a private-members bar, and still owned by Massive Attacks Daddy G, the venue retains a modicum of the exclusivity it once had. Putting celebs to the back of your mind, you might even have a pretty decent night out here. The odd L-shaped layout means that getting a pervy rub up against Roni Size should be no problem, and the small but well-formed dance floor holds enough to have a decent boogy with.
If you're expecting queues of A-listers then you might be bitterly disappointed, but the Tube still has that touch of glitz that celeb heads so desperately crave.
