Tables are subject to availability, with a one-in, one-out, one-way system in operation to accommodate social distancing measures. Capacity will be limited with tables for groups of up to six people.
Opening times are 12pm to 9pm, seven days a week, subject to the vagaries of the weather. There will be no access to the inside of Arnolfini Café Bar at the present time.

Domhnail Barnes from Bristol Beer Factory said “We have carefully considered how best to open Arnolfini Café Bar, with our primary concern to keep all our customers and team safe. This is new territory for all of us and when we’re completely confident and happy things are going as we hoped, we may then look at possibly expanding the offer for a take-away service in the future.”
