Actress & Bishop

We stumbled across this place whilst out walking … live music early on a Saturday evening! and the atmosphere was amazing… plenty of drink selection and the staff were great too.

We arrived early afternoon and I think the staff were readying themselves for the late afternoon slot and were a bit distracted. We had a lovely time before people started to pile in and the band came on. After they came on we had an even better time. They were brilliant and the place was buzzing. It was a shame we had to leave but we had a date with Jeff Lynne. Thoroughly recommended pub with great entertainment.

We had a great time watching a small concert here! The atmosphere was lovely and really welcoming. I definitely recommend visiting if you enjoy live music in a cozy setting.

Good choice for the second stop on our "stag do" pub crawl. Weather was warm, so we were able to gather outside, where there are a few tables, although we all decided to stand! Good choice of ales and lagers available, friendly bar staff. Highly recommended.

Wow four of us popped in here last Friday for a quick, early nightcap after already being out for 6 hours and ended up staying for another 5. Great atmosphere and music, just the 2 of us on the dance floor early evening my son in law's Mom and I, love the old hits. Just as we were about to leave a young lady singer came on with her guitar she was absolutely amazing and we didn't leave until after her two part set had ended. Lady behind the bar was extremely knowledgeable about the drinks, including non alcohol drinks which impressed one of our party who was driving. Left about 10.15pm when the venue was really getting full, great few hours, my liver spent Saturday detoxing

This is the third event/gig I have put on at the Actress & Bishop. Katie and the team have helped ensure it all runs smoothly. A technician in place at the start to help get the bands soundchecks done. A point of contact to ensure the bar runs smoothly. And all of the bands who played praised the setup at the venue. A perfect place for a private event in the city centre.

Great night watching and auditioning live band. Manager very nice and helpful. Security staff really nice and Friendly. Thank you for a great night.
