THE ESSENTIALS #5 - Nick Walker's (aka Apishangel) Guide to Bristol. UK
Today's Essential Guide takes us from the bars of London and into BristolNick Walker's (aka Apishangel) Guide to Bristol, England
1. Favorite Location to See Street ArtIt's all about, but there's a good concentration of it at Bedminster Skate Park off Dean Lane - That's been the spot for a long time now.
2. Favorite Art Gallery
That'll be the Hotwell Gallery on Hotwells Road. They're into showcasing the edgier stuff none of the other galleries want to touch.
3. Favorite Place to Buy Paint and Supplies
Millards on Gloucester Road, Damn this place is great. They're a proper old school car maintenance shop that stock Hycote. You got these three guys in blue overalls all stood behind this long counter. Also it's cheapest place to buy your paint if you nut fussy about what you paint with. Suit you sir!
4. Favorite Local Magazine
Venue Magazine pretty much tells you what's going on in town and are on it when it comes to the graffiti scene and what artists have been up to here.
5. Favorite Place to Drink
Il Bordello on the Welshback is a good place to go drink. It's on a boat, an old Dutch barge to be exact formerly owned by the Hell's Angels but has now been revamped into a lovely seedy drinking parlor - low lights good art and music ta boot! Check out the front door! Check out all the doors!
6. Favorite Place to Eat
If I'm on the move I go to Ciao Burger on Gloucester Road. Get the Veggie Blue Cheese it rocks and all served up by some ones old Dad rattling about to hard core drum & bass every time you go in there. If you want a good old sit down - the River Bar on the water front off the city centre does a fuckin' great Bangers & Mash and also serves up Leff beer.
Cheers All
Nick
