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...

Nice place but the lighting is usually very low light making it difficult to see at times. Bands are usually local area bands making the entertainment enjoyable way to see your friends. And they have the best sweet potato fries around. Unfortunately the manager when she just don't like you will come out with screaming constantl without actually telling you the truth as to why. Management definitely leaves a lot to be desired

You say I'm in a nuisance the only time I ask permission to come in is when my friends are playing there that I have not seen in months. How can that be a nuisance if I am asking your permission to be able to come and see them not associate with you just come and see my friends play that's it that's not...

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...
