Satisfy your cocktail cravings 🍸

There’s no better way to spend an afternoon on the roof terrace with a chilled glass of wine, a spritz in hand, or your favourite cocktail.

Gather your friends, bring the family, or simply settle in and enjoy the atmosphere.

Pair your drinks with our seasonal small plates:

Grilled Iberico Pork Abanico, 100% acorn fed pork skirt, parsnip purée & watercress.

Watercress & Pea Gnocchi, pea cream, fresh ricotta & toasted hazelnuts.

Charred Chermoula Aubergine, with Muhammara and pomegranate mojo.

And because sharing is encouraged...

House Bruschetta, beef tomatoes, asparagus & stracciatella on toasted focaccia.

Seasonal Arancini with garlic aioli, this week’s filling is squash and chilli.

Whether you’re soaking up the sunshine or relaxing in the shade, cocktails, small plates and good company are always a good idea ☀️

The World Cup is here.

We’ve got the projector up on the stage and every England game showing live. The perfect excuse to gather your mates, claim a table and settle in for all the drama.

Come down early and make an evening of it.

The menu is made for match days:

✶ small plates if you’re after a quick nibble

✶ a few dishes to share around the table

✶ or a pizza to line the beer before kick off

The cocktails are flowing all evening:

✶ Classics £10 each / 2 for £16

✶ Signatures & Spritz £12 each / 2 for £20

If pints are more your thing, our local house pours are looking particularly good:

✶ North Street Cider & Gravity Lager £6 a pint, all day long

Or explore the taps with favourites from Bristol Beer Factory, New Bristol Brewery and Wiper & True.

No racing the clock for happy hour. No squeezing in a round before the deal ends. Just good food, great drinks and all the atmosphere that comes with watching the football in a room full of fellow fans.

Come for the football.

Stay because you’re full, happy, someone orders another round and somehow it’s already the second half.

Got a show at the Wardrobe tonight?

Start upstairs.

Golden hour pours onto the terrace every evening — full suntrap if you want to bask dramatically with a cocktail in hand, or shaded tables under the canopy for slower evenings and excellent people-watching.

The summer menu is made for ordering “just a couple of bits” and somehow staying all night:

✶ watercress & pea gnocchi with bright pea cream, ricotta + toasted hazelnuts

✶ seasonal vegetables with lemon + chilli, sharp, sunny and made for warm evenings

✶ rich chocolate ganache cake with berries and cherry-soaked almond biscuit

And the strawberry daiquiris?
£10 each / 2 for £16

Cold, dangerously drinkable, ridiculously too delicious not to be tempted by another.

Come before theatre, comedy, cabaret or live music.

Stay because the terrace is glowing, your drink is cold, and the evening’s only getting started.

SUMMER COCKTAIL MENU

Charlie Chaplin 🍸

The Charlie Chaplin cocktail was created in 1920s New York as a playful tribute to the actor at the peak of his fame.

At the Old Market Assembly, our long running collaboration with the Wardrobe Theatre has welcomed countless incredible actors through our doors, each stepping into the spotlight and raising a glass to the art of performance.

This mix of lime juice, apricot, and sloe gin is as surprising and delightful as Chaplin himself.

Classic, cheeky, and worthy of a bow behind red velvet curtains.
