Reviews of The Louisiana

J. D.

The Louisiana is an intimate venue above a pub. The pub is a decent size with plenty of tables and well presented. On my visit I found the staff friendly didn't have to wait long to get served. I did get my drink in a plastic cup, but didn't bother me. The venue is accessed up a winding staircase; the room itself seems pretty small but during the gig there was plenty of room for the 140ish crowd. The stage is about knee high off the floor, so being about 8 people from the front there was a pretty decent view of the band. The lighting and backdrop simple but effective; great sound system, vocals a bit distorted at times, but you want it turned up to 11 to enjoy it! Had a brilliant gig courtesy of simplylove. Would not hesitate to go back on another occasion.

C. P.

Incredible music venue as usual, many hugely successful acts have played here including kings of leon.

F. M.

Friendly, cousy and exciting place. Amazing variety of gigs. Wonderful staff. Delicious and generous Sunday roast.

M. H.

Proper music venue. Small, atmospheric, a little bit smelly but a great place to enjoy live music. Not for the pretentious....

g. s.

Came here for a gig and it was amazing! Really cute little place and staff were really lovely and helpful! Can't wait to come back

C. W.

One of my favourite pubs. Great place to see bands and lovely friendly staff make this a home from home

One of the best live music venues in the country. Wonderful acoustics and great music always!

R. D.

Great place for live music! Had a fantastic Sunday lunch there 2 weeks back will definitely be back for more!

A. H.

Great little music venue upstairs and a nice bar on the ground floor! Recommend place to vist

P. D.

Always been great for live music. Now the upstairs is air conditioned, it's even better!

O. T.

Great evening. Went for a gig and loved it. Minimum £5 card on the bar but aside that, all groovy!!

s. e.

Went to the louisiana to watch my nephew play in the band "wakey wakey rise and shine" a good show as usual. it was a very hot evening thank goodness for the air con. Lively place.

A. A.

Top notch venue with exemplary sound guys.

S. W.

Nice pub not many gin options great upstairs where the stage is had a great concert watching the dunwells

L. W.

Good choice of booze and a small intimate venue for live music upstairs. Tidy

K. N.

Venue upstairs is intimate but has great sound. Drinks are a little pricey and service is lacking but otherwise good.

l. W.

Great cosy atmosphere. Just a bit hot despite being December. Shorts and t-shirt would have been good!!

E. V.

Excellent spot for small local bands to play. A nice sunny spot to sit out the front. A little pricey though.

S. E.

Lovely atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Friendlu staff. Great live music!

R. C.

Great pub and music venue, lovely staff, only down side for me was the ale selection

L. B.

Great venue for up and coming as well as established local bands of all genres.

2. B.

Apparently it's been done up - my first time - but it's pretty nice. Music venue worth checking out. Street parking.

M. R.

Good pub with a very interesting exterior. Also one of Bristol's best live music venues. A good refuge during the Harbour Festival - feels far from the madding crowd but it's only 5 mins walk from the centre.

E. N.

Just seen The Love Handles, Grandmas House AND Felina at The Louisiana ! Such an awesome venue ! Thanks for the vodka diet cokes <3

J. W.

Great pub and even better music venue! Really nice staff who are always happy to chat

Really nice venue to go and watch live music in. Or for that matter just have a pint.

T. K.

Lovely staff, good drink prices and great venue upstairs for music

Great for gigs. Lots of great, interesting bands play on their way up to great things. Cool building, too.

P. C.

Intimate old school venue. Quirky, cosy and friendly.

D. S.

Good intimate venue with the bar downstairs which serves a range of beers & ciders. They even sell "zero alcohol" Heineken which as I was driving is a massive plus. The concert stage is located upstairs & although it is small. It is very cosy. We saw "Never The Bride" featuring front woman Nikki B whose powerful vocals suited the acoustics of the Louisiana.

C. B.

went and watched destaat here and it was great. this place has a lot of history behind it and is a damn fine intimate venue.

T.

Great chilled out atmosphere, location is superb, staff are amazing and very friendly. 10/10 would go again.

My daughter and I had a great time listening to three bands.

P. R.

A small and rather intimate venue for live music, but good because of that. The stage can be difficult to see as there is no seating.

D. W.

Down to earth music venue in the centre of town. Real live music. Long may it continue.

L. L.

This is an independent pub with live music and there are plenty of artists and bands performing everyday and famous artists did perform here. The staff is friendly and attentive and the drinks are good. Seating available inside and outside for summer days. Very good ambience for a music lover to watch and listen to live music gigs. Definitely recommended.

The Louisiana is a Bristol staple. The venue is small and intimate but packs a massive punch. The sound is amazing and every gig I've been to there has been great. The bar has a good beer selection and the gigs are super reasonably priced. They get amazing bands in and are a great spot to just turn up and listen to something new. 10/10

Man I love it here. They have great shows, the bar is unpretentious and they do carvery! I really like that if you get a bit overwhelmed upstairs you can come and have some quiet time in the bar downstairs whilst the band plays. Bar staff are speedy and nice. Proper decent venue, feels like a cool secret even though they've been there for years.

Great bar and venue for music, atmosphere, sound and good service for the bar, which is exactly what you need at a music venue..I will return

I. W. (.

I would say The Louisiana is defiantly more of a bar than a pub if that's what your looking for. The inside is very empty and not welcoming. The outside seating is nice but there are very few benches. There are some much better pubs near by like The Ostrich or Golden Guinea.

L. W.

Wonktastic !!!

T. D.

Came on Saturday 7th of January. Superb venue. Fantastic night, all 3 bands were amazing. Will go and watch them all again but Versus Savannah something else they could go all the way

M. M.

Wow, sehr coole Location. Bin per Zufall in das letzte Set eines Konzerts geraten. Kleiner Raum, kleine Bühne, direkter Kontakt zur Band. Lohnt sich! (Translated) Wow, very cool location. I accidentally got into the last set of a concert. Small room, small stage, direct contact with the band. It's worth it!

Really lovely pub/venue in a great location! Sadly no live music at the moment due to covid of course but I like it here anyway, and supporting small/local businesses, especially all important (to me and lots of others!) Music venues is very much needed right now.

H. B.

Absolute gem of a venue... Great sound, great atmosphere, great bar and drinks and top notch staff! I will definitely be heading here again...

N. H.

Has to be one of the best live venues in the UK. The gigs upstairs sound great thanks to fab acoustics and some of the best engineering in the country. It's on the tour itinerary for most bands to play this venue now and rightfully so. An absolutely charming venue that has seen pretty much every huge band play there back in the day, and the upcoming bands of today play there regularly now too.

J. S.

Amazing place! The Louisiana in Bristol its and independent pub with an incredible music scene! Numerous artists and bands have played in their dedicated concert room before becoming famous! Like Amy Winehouse, Jose Gonzalez, or Placebo. Totally recommended for any live-music-lover! :)

J. P. T.

One of the best places I have been to see music! Rooms not too big and not too small, gives an intimate feel. There are decent beers on tap too.

R. C.

More a venue to see live music than a place to go for a quiet drink. A good place to see bands before they become too big for their own good. Not limited to any particular music style the selection of bands that play there should have something to entertain most people who like music to be played on an instrument and require talent.

E. W.

Just seen Black Foxxes there. Extremely cheap pints...compared to Bath. Really nice place. Would definitely recommend to watch a band or for a pint.

N. H.

A venue that should be on all music lovers bucket list to visit. This intimate venue above a bar in Bristol has played host to so many major artists over the last few years there are too many to list. The ideal place to catch the next big thing

S.

Really nice music venue! Some really famous bands have played here. If you like music I would definitely recommend you to go here, there is quite alot of space, so it's also good for small groups (depending on the night and who is playing ofcourse) I would check out their website before going just to make sure. We went 6 people Friday and had no problems at all, Saturday was unfortunately sold out, so we couldn't get in :) it's also very central, it's a must go.

T. B.

Great small live gig venue - can get busy at the bar in between bands so pick your timing for getting a drink - then all good.

S. (.

Nice cosy venue with great selection of artists playing across the calendar. Good acoustics.

M.

An intimate iconic Bristol music venue. I saw a brilliant band the other night, made up of world class musicians and every song was a poem, so most important to hear the words. Unfortunately in the second half of the concert the musicianship and words were overwhelmed by the unnecessary volume, especially in such a small room. What was the sound engineer thinking??? several of us in the audience agreed. Louder is certainly not better especially with such amazing musicians.

J. P.

Pub is alright, sitting area is a bit canteeny. Venue upstairs however is great. Highly reccommend

R. M.

Don't go here for the beer. As a live music venue it is brilliant. Tiny capacity (80 I believe). Many very successful acts played here before hitting it big - White Stripes, Coldplay, Black Keys to name a few.

T. R.

First time I've been there but very friendly. It's a great music venue, a short walk from the town centre. Smallish upstairs room but they have some decent bands for somewhere of that scale. Will go again next time I'm in Bristol.

S. W.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, good selection of beer and a cracking quiz. The staff need to be a touch more attentive during these times of table service only, I was waiting a while trying to catch their attention.

F. S. G.

Great venue to see up and coming touring acts perform alongside the best that Bristol has to offer on the unsigned scene. From intimate acoustic performances in the cellar through to full blooded rock tantrums in the main space upstairs. Most importantly for bands, they have engineers who actually know their onions! They have a very open attitude to bands wanting to perform there and will always try to help you move up the gigging chain if you're prepared to put the work in. All in all a winning combination.

C. W.

Love the atmosphere; staff are friendly & laid back - they treat (beer drinking) groups & single coffee drinkers equally I.e. no turning away, just came out after 2 coffees; didn't want to leave, price also good......

H. C.

Cracking venue. Great choice of headlining bands. Scandals are a must see when they are playing.

p. i.

Nice bar staff. Decent beers and drinks behind the counter. Upstairs music venue was great their was around 100 people. Band Hootern hallers sounded amazing. I'd visit again

J. L.

Lovely venue, well laid out with a good selection of drinks.

A. S.

Iconic Bristol venue that hasn't lost its original charm over the years. Great sound for a small space. Always lots of new and upcoming acts to discover here!

J. C.

Great venue, good acoustics and a cracking band (Eades)

R. B.

Partner in a wheelchair. Upstairs venue has stairs to it but staff were accommodating and reserved us space upstairs and helped us securely store the wheelchair in a back room. Venue has air conditioning so didn't get too warm like some smaller venues

A. H.

Great venue!!

a. g.

Excellent music venue, the band's that have played here is a veritable who's who of the music world. The atmosphere was very friendly, good beer.

S. A.

A lovely venue and one of the most significant within the Bristol music scene. If you get to see a band you like here it is a very intimate setting.

S. D.

It was hard to find, I had to ask 3 people where it was, and the mad thing is I went there 3 years ago, I also got lost then too. Great night of music, luckily I didn't miss anything

L. S.

Great to watch up coming bands

C. G.

The Louisiana is a great place to see live gigs, in particular artists that are relatively new in the industry. There is a bar downstairs and some seating outside for summer days whilst you wait for doors to open. A hidden Gem!

m.

Best place to watch bands in Bristol. Has a long and colourful history, and lately the pressure from yuppie neighbours has forced some changes (boo, hiss) but there's still nowhere else like it for up-close-and-personal, sweaty, focused gig-going.

C. G.

Great music..The Big R band

B. A.

Local pub and small gigs venue here at the Louisiana. Crowd are usually the trades owners and family.

J. O.

One of the best music venues in Bristol for close quarters experiences

T. C.

Great place to see up and coming bands and small local ones too. Lots of famous names have played here on their way up. Beer's good too as is the general atmosphere.

A. S.

The bar is good, prices are ok, staff is friendly enough. A lot of the artists are great overall. Only complaint is that it has a meager crowd compared to bars that are more centrally located.

L. K.

Played here frequently! Really decent pub with fair prices and a great music venue. They treat everyone well and it's a really nice intimate space with good sound

H. A.

Really nice and vibey. Doesn't stink of arrogance!

C. H.

The Louisiana is a fantastic venue for live music, with it's dedicated room upstairs and bar area downstairs. The bar is cosy with comfy seating and tables, so if you arrive early for a gig you can relax in comfort. Upstairs is a wide open space, with no tables or chairs, all focus is on the front area where the live music takes place. The stage area is slightly raised, so (unless you're very short like me) there's every chance you'll get a good view of the stage from wherever you stand. The photos I've added aren't very good but are to show stage height and ambient lighting (from a pre-Xmas Toby Jepson & Dave Kemp show).

D. B.

Decent pub for music, atmosphere was decent. Drink prices are reasonable.

J. L.

Excellent prices on Sunday roasts, about £10. Not the cheapest soft drinks in town though. Good location. Good live music.

T. A.

Foundation Bristol venue. Good pub generally, but upstairs at The Louisiana is one of the longest running and most reliable venues for local acts and promoters in the city and is worth a visit almost any night of the week.

R. V.

Just a note to thank Lor and Mig for the way they organised and facilitated EMIKA's Bristol leg of her 2019 UK winter tour, on Dec 8, at the venue, which was electric. Myself and Ema couldnt have been more happier and very grateful to have been allowed to perform at an acclaimed venue within the city, thanks to help from a very mutual friend. I'm very proud that we did everything properly and we maxed out the gig, due to good radio promo at the weekend. Thank you so very much and please keep in touch. Ray*

N. P.

Great little venue. great history of bands who've played in the past . Low ceiling, especially on stage, makes for a truly intimate gig

J. J.

A proper live music venue, in a pub. A vital part of the Bristol for years. Great live room and renowned for the quality of the sound engineers.

Incredible venue, full of character, lovely pub downstairs, well ventilated room upstairs with a great sound system that was well managed for a busy night.

P. C.

Wow, Great place. Came for a gig, in the room upstairs, lovely venue made for a nice, noisy, intimate gig. Pub downstairs is lovely, will return for the pub quiz and a pint! Venue is easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, although it's only a ten minute walk if you parked at millennium Square car park

T. S.

Great live venue upstairs. Low ceilings, low stage makes for intimate gigs. Often great sound for live acts.

S. W.

Great location for live music. Drinks are affordable. Only downside is that the venue room gets VERY warm.

D. L.

A staple of Dot-to-Dot Festival, The Louisiana is primarily a gig/music venue. Downstairs is a little souless, but outside is quite nice despite being so close to the road. Its real calling card are the intimate gigs upstairs. I've seen plenty of bands here over the past 5 years and it's never without character. Unfortunately the beer choice upstairs leaves me pretty cold - Red Stripe (@ £4.25ish), Fosters (£4 etc). Where are the ales?!

Great live music venue, with reasonably priced drinks. Better value to buy wine by the bottle, rather than the glass.

Great live music venue supporting grass roots bands. Also retains its proper pub feel with real ales available.

A. L.

Good venue nice sound quality. The aircon was working when I was there. Bar okay but could have a better choice of beer.

S. G.

Legendary music venue but also good for drinks, outdoor seating available too. Staff always helpful and friendly

Great gig venue, standard selection of booze, no frills or fancy craft beer (if you're into that)

A. L.

Great atmosphere, brilliant sound.

Lots of local history. Some of the windows are covered over because in the day you paid more tax if you had to many windows. Friendly atmosphere right on Bristols harbour side with many other attractions

D. S.

Great beer, great people working there and the best music played in the bar

Cosy and intimate pub, just off Bristol's city centre. Famed as a music venue for the upcoming artists, the list of people who've started here is a who's who of fame and fortune. From The Stereophonics to Neon Waltz to name a few.

Great live music venue, friendly staff, and a great choice of Beers and more importantly ciders. Stowford press my favourite. Will be returning.

F. M.

Great venue. Some really good up and coming bands play here for such a small venue.

B. C.

Classic Bristol venue, usually good sound and good bands

J. W.

Very cosy venue and you get bands who will make history one day. Buy tickets while you can and enjoy xx

Atmosphere and size; tiny place for a gig, but great atmosphere. Not sure what it's like as a pub though!
