The service was phenomenal! Will was so knowledgeable, personable and friendly - highly recommend Milk Thistle for a beautiful evening out!

We only had cocktails which were nice but was rushed into drinking and then given the bill to pay up and leave before we even finished our drinks as they had another reservation for the table. I think we were only in there an hour and we did book.Considering its not cheap we felt very rushed.Drinks were very good though and the menu and cocktails were explained well (Our waiter did recommend some great choices to our individual preferences)

Great speakeasy style venue, you have to ring the doorbell or knock the door in order to be allowed entry.The staff were friendly and welcoming, the waitress even decided our drinks for us based on what we liked - they were perfect.It's a slightly expensive venue, but this is to be expected. The interior design of the venue and the quality reflects the price.

Good atmosphere for late night cocktails. Recommended to book ahead by app.

Attentive, knowledgeable and passionate hosts, I hope Will is working when you visit!Delicious drinks and a massive variety of flavours and unique ingredients, evaporated red wine, Irish moss and cream soda reduction to name a few unusual flavours you can experience here!Music is a bit loud for my liking but the general decor and atmos is appealing to this type of 'secret buzzer' cocktail joint.Expect lots of taxidermy animals, interesting drink flavours, bowler hat light shades and occult paintings.

This place is truly exceptional whenever you are going for a date or trying to impress your mates. Booking is highly recommended to avoiddisappointment. The staff will make you feel like you are a part of royalty offering potent alcoholic drinks and interesting snacks like goat cheese flavored popcorn. I'm not just sure if I enjoyed a present of stuffed animal above my head. I am looking forward to visiting the Raven and getting a tarrot reading

Service and drinks at this venue are outstanding. The lady that waited on us was very knowledgeable and very good at recommending drinks.The atmosphere is a little off though. Music is slightly too loud. We had to shout to each other across the table which feels off as it's a smoking lounge vibe.

Went on a weekday, the atmosphere was very chill and cozy. Lovely staff who explained the menu thoroughly and were also good at giving drink recommendations.The drinks themselves are of high quality. It's pricey but I'd say it's worth it if you know what flavour profile you enjoy. There's definitely some unique cocktails here and their menu has an interesting design. Just don't go for the basic drinks because the price is not worth it.

Staying a night in Bristol we wanted somewhere with a chilled vibe but also something different. The Milk Thistle was the perfect place to go and the cocktails were simply Awesome, in fact I had the Smoking Barrels and it was the best cocktail I've ever had! Great service too, super friendly waiters and the guy greeting us for us a table even though we hadn't booked and it was super busy with Christmas. Most definitely would recommend and most definitely will be back one day!

Really should have taken some pictures of the cocktails. Fabulous. Rich sumptuous decor, very good service. Cocktails a little pricy perhaps, but then I'm a little out of touch, and they were absolutely excellent! So, five stars. Note ... very easy to miss the entrance ...
