T/O to Y/E 2025 £237,155. Outside area & scope for daytime trade","archived":false,"description":"Description

Cosies is set within a brick‑vaulted cellar beneath a historic building on Portland Square.

The internal arrangement is centred around a main bar area, which forms the primary seated space. While the venue’s lower‑ground setting contributes to its atmospheric feel, the bar area itself offers a pleasant spot for customers to sit and relax, benefitting from the softer daylight that reaches the frontage of the premises, despite its lower ground location.

A dedicated dance floor sits at the heart of the evening layout, operating as the main activity zone during club nights and music events.

Externally, there is some outside seating.

Location

Cosies occupies a prime position on Portland Square, a historic, Listed Georgian Square in St Paul's, Bristol, renowned for its stunning 18th-Century architecture and central oval garden.

Whilst Portland Square has undergone some gentrification, with nearby buildings being converted to apartments and the establishment of the Artist in Residence Hotel opposite, the area is right on the edge of Bristol’s thriving Stokes Croft. This district is known for high footfall, independent businesses and a strong cultural identity, meaning Cosies sits within one of the city’s most distinctive hospitality and nightlife zones.

The venue benefits from excellent connectivity, with Montpelier Railway Station circa 900 metres away, and major city routes linking directly to Bristol’s centre and the wider region via the A38 and M32.

Surrounded by a well‑established creative community, young professionals and students, as well as music‑focused venues and cultural operators, the location naturally supports concepts centred on live entertainment, niche genres, or late‑night trade.

The Opportunity

Acquiring Cosies presents an opportunity to take over a long‑established and highly recognisable venue located in one of Bristol’s most eclectic, creative and forward thinking districts.

Cosies has a unique and long standing identity within the local nightlife and hospitality market and whilst the venue already operates successfully as an intimate bar and late‑night music space, there is also scope to expand the business by promoting nights during the earlier part of the week and developing a daytime/early evening trade in conjunction with a food offer.

With its long‑standing reputation, compact and atmospheric layout, and position within one of Bristol’s most culturally diverse and active districts, Cosies offers a buyer the opportunity to take on a venue with a strong identity, established customer base, and flexible operational potential suited to both hospitality and music‑focused operators.
