Arnolfini - est 1961

Arnolfini Café Bar in partnership with Wiper and True and FED

Launching this summer, Wiper and True will be the new operator of Arnolfini Café Bar.

Located within our iconic harbourside home at Bush House, the Café Bar has long been part of the social and cultural life of Bristol — somewhere to meet friends, enjoy drinks after events and exhibitions, and enjoy the atmosphere of the waterfront.

By day, expect coffee from Yallah, pastries, toasties, salads and cakes, while evenings bring Wiper and True’s freshly brewed beers alongside cocktails, wines and non-alcoholic options within a welcoming harbourside setting.

Arnolfini Café Bar will initially reopen with a light-touch refresh for the summer season, whilst longer-term plans for a full refurbishment are developed for 2027.


Opening hours

Outdoor bar and beer garden – 9am – 10pm daily. 

Café Bar interior – 9am – 10pm daily. 

If you have any questions about the Café Bar, please use the General Enquiries contact form.
