Mugshot Restaurants Bristol

So named for the wall of mugshot polaroids depicting willing customers in the police lineup fashion, this 1920’s prohibition themed restaurant has taken Bristol by storm since opening in 2018. The decor has been expertly considered and the moody lighting and wood panels along with the stylishly dressed waiters make a visit that little bit extra special. Priding themselves on the quality of their ingredients, there is a sense of care in everything you see, smell and taste.

Much like a traditional chophouse you may have found in the Twenties, the wood-panelled walls, parquet flooring, velvet booths and chandeliers give Mugshot a dark, moody charm. It’s this decor that sets it apart from Bristol’s white-washed wall restaurants. When entering you’re greeted with smokiness and the sound of steak sizzling on hot stones – it’s at this point it’s worth prefacing that this is not a hub for vegetarians; in fact, far from it.

Mugshot Restaurant is home to steak to die for, cocktails for pairing, and an ambience that you won’t forget. Enjoy the steak sharing board with friends — and don’t forget to add butter or sauce to make the tasting experience more luxurious. Have a few crafted cocktails alongside your meal, and then head over the road to Mugshot’s secret cocktail lounge — The Library — for some post-dinner beverages.

Try your hand at searing it to your liking with their hot stone dining experience and choose from a selection of flavoured butters to get things sizzling. It would be criminal not to mention that Mugshot also serve a pretty mean pizza, our pick is the ‘Red’, a spicy chorizo, picante, egg and rosemary creation that might leave you needing a sip of one of Mugshot’s equally punchy cocktails.

Located in the Old City, Mugshot is a stylish 1920s-inspired space and quite possibly one of the best steak restaurants in Bristol city centre. Boasting crystal chandeliers, wood-panelled walls and a selection of pizzas and prime cuts, it's a fabulous spot for sultry dinners.

Local independent places like The Ox in Corn Street and Mugshot in St Nicholas Street are definitely up there, as is the popular national chain Miller & Carter, which has a restaurant inside the Marriott Royal on College Green and another at Cribbs Causeway.
