A cosy bar lifted straight out of the 1980s, the Colosseum has been recently reinvented for the 21st century, now serving cocktails and tapas close to the centre of Bristol’s Harbourside.
Outside food and drinks (except for bottled water) are not permitted in the Colosseum.
Fursuiting
There are no dedicated fursuit changing or storage facilities available at the Colosseum. You may use the toilets to change, but be aware that they may be cramped and wet.
Accessibility
Mobility
The Colosseum is located on top of a small hill, so some of the surrounding paths may be steep. There is a single step up from the pavement to the main entrance of the Colosseum.
There is completely step-free access available by going via the terrace and through the side entrance, however, this is not always open. Please catch the attention of a member of meet or venue staff if the gate or terrace door is not accessible.
Toilets
Male toilets and a combined disabled and gender neutral toilet are located on the ground floor. Female toilets are located upstairs.
