    Why go

    Book Rick’s Bar for an easy, polished harbourside drink when the group wants cocktails, wine, beer, and proper snacks in one place. It is stronger as a flexible social bar than as a specialist wine destination, with smart-casual energy and a menu that can stretch a quick drink into a longer evening.

    About Rick's Bar

    Rick’s Bar in Bristol is a direct choice to consider when you want a venue with clearly published basics: a $35 per-person price point, smart casual dress, and opening hours from Wednesday to Sunday, including a longer Saturday window.

    A Bristol venue with clear planning basics

    The confirmed price is $35 per person, and the dress code is smart casual. Rick’s Bar is closed on Monday and Tuesday, opens from 4–11 PM on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, runs from 4 PM–12 AM on Friday, and opens 12 PM–12 AM on Saturday. For a broader night out in the city, the full Bristol bars guide is a useful starting point; for other dining before or after, use our full Bristol restaurants guide.

    For visitors planning a wider weekend, it can also be considered alongside our full Bristol hotels guide and other Bristol planning resources.

    Go when the confirmed hours fit your plans

    The most useful planning distinction is timing. Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are openings from 4–11 PM. Friday extends later, from 4 PM–12 AM, and Saturday has the broadest confirmed window, from 12 PM–12 AM. Monday and Tuesday are closed.

    Dress smart casual and plan around the published hours rather than assuming lunch service, a specific menu, or a particular bar specialty.

    If the brief changes, use the city guides rather than forcing this venue to do everything. Other Bristol dining and drinking options may suit different plans, budgets, or timings, while Rick’s Bar is best assessed on the basics available for Bristol.

    Bar context

    How Rick's Bar compares in Bristol

    Choose Rick's Bar when ease matters more than a tightly defined drinks concept. Thekla is the better call for a music-led night with a stronger sense of occasion, while The Apple is the more Bristol-specific choice if cider and harbourside character are the point of the outing.

    For cocktail focus, The Rummer and The Milk Thistle are stronger cross-shops because the drink itself is more likely to drive the booking decision. Rick's Bar is easier to recommend when the group has mixed tastes or when the bar is one part of a wider evening rather than the anchor.

    The Dojo Bar fits a later, louder night better than a sit-and-talk plan. Rick's Bar is the safer choice for a simpler meet-up, especially if the decision is about convenience, central location, and keeping the night flexible.
