Long before the days of Cafe Kino, The Canteen and Poco, Stokes Croft had Turbo Island and crucial Bristol venue The Croft. The good news is that neither of these hotspots of local culture are going anywhere. While the management of The Croft may have migrated to Old Market to set up the excellent Exchange, the building lives on as a great live music venue and launch pad for new club promoters.

The Crofters Rights maintains The Crofts, noisy-bar-out-front, venue-in-the-backroom layout, but has significantly improved the layout of the bar room. A focus on craft beer has been prevalent since The Crofters Rights launch in 2014 and the bar is home to an ever-changing chalkboard of delights.
