A low-lit theatre hums as you push through a pub door on a brisk Bristol evening. The bar’s close-up magician is working the crowd — coins vanish between fingers, a glass tilts as if persuaded — and the scent of hot pizza and prosecco threads between conversations. At 7:00 pm the curtain lifts on an intimate 1920s-style cabaret: 38 seats, a single stage, and a room that leans forward with you.

A low-lit theatre hums as you push through a pub door on a brisk Bristol evening. The bar’s close-up magician is working the crowd — coins vanish between fingers, a glass tilts as if persuaded — and the scent of hot pizza and prosecco threads between conversations. At 7:00 pm the curtain lifts on an intimate 1920s-style cabaret: 38 seats, a single stage, and a room that leans forward with you.
Bristol’s theatrical tradition and vibrant nightlife set the scene. The venue combines pub culture and variety-show history in a compact space built for audience participation and laughter. The city’s maritime past gave rise to a bold, improvisational entertainment culture; here you’ll find that same edge in quick-witted patter and sleight of hand.
Expect a 60-minute comedy-magic performance inside an 85-minute experience that begins with bar-side close-up illusions. The show is rated for adults (minimum age 18 for most performances), uses assigned seating at arrival, and enforces quiet during acts; flash photography and recordings are prohibited.
Practically: arrive by 6:40 pm to catch the bar tricks and settle into your assigned table, bring ID for age checks, and plan transport — central Bristol has good public transit and walkable streets but limited late-night parking.
This is a date-night-friendly, small-group-friendly night out that trades spectacle for immediacy: expect magic that happens inches from your glass and comedy that invites you to react. For a short, potent evening of illusion and laughs, this show delivers a compact, efficient slice of Bristol’s live-entertainment personality.
The full experience runs about 85 minutes; the on-stage performance is approximately 60 minutes with pre-show bar-side close-up magic.
Yes — the show information notes wheelchair-accessible areas and surfaces; contact the venue ahead of time to confirm specific seating needs.
Most evening performances are strictly 18+; family shows for younger audiences are scheduled separately and will be advertised as suitable.
All sales are final with no refunds; changes or cancellations are at the venue’s discretion and must typically be requested well in advance.
