Bleachers — Restaurant in Bristol

Bleachers seemed like a great local bar to go see live music.

Upon being there, the bartenders were very friendly, as well as the people attending the show.

As for the bouncers... that is a whole different story.

The bouncers decided that my friend was too active and enjoying a Rock/Metal show, which others mind you were jumping around too. The crowd got pushed into my friend and I and he tripped and fell into a shorter girl that was in front of us. She got tipped over but we helped her up and we went on our way enjoying the show. 2 minutes later the bouncer was grabbing a hold of my friends collar, from the back and dragged him to the ground. Once my friend was able to gain his balance they started yelling at him, and kept yelling that he was shoving girls onto the stage, which as well is only about 8 inches off the ground.

They kicked my friend out, and to not cause any trouble I left willingly to bring him home.

Overall an ok bar, with horrible bouncer's who are unwilling to negotiate or be mindful of the show that was happening.

Do not go here for a more uptempo rock show. They will find a way...

I was so excited to go to Bleachers.. picture this. Saturday night..it's so hot you could fry an egg on the side walk ..sister in law is visiting and you plan to go out to listen to a good band. Get to Bleachers .it's 830. Band starts at 9...go in pay the cover charge..sit at the bar...order a beer.....it's 9 and the band is still setting up...okay...talk. ..laugh and before you know it...it's 10:00...band still isn't playing... probably about 25 or 30 people sitting around waiting...tick tock....1030. Band still isn't playing 🤔..left .totally disappointed to pay a cover charge for a band that apparently wasn't able to get it together to actually play...... probably won't go...

Was cool to see some awesome bands during dirtfest, unfortunately they kicked most of my friends out due to them being underaged. (The AUTISM AWARENESS CHARITY EVENT at bleachers was not advertised as 21+ EVENT and so a lot of people who came out to support a great cause were thrown out) Apparently the staff had "no clue" that the event wasn't advertised as a 21+ event. At least 8-10 people who came out to see these bands and support a good cause were kicked out by a bouncer who gave everyone a piss poor attitude making the situation even more awkward and embarrassing for everyone. EVEN INCLUDING ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHO...
