The Gallimaufry

Eat seasonal British food, drink great coffee, local cask ales and ciders. Listen to the best Bristol live musicians & DJ's. Check out the work of emerging artists featured throughout the venue.



What does the word ‘gallimaufry' mean? Once a hodgepodge stew of humble ingredients made on the galleys, it evolved to represent up-cycled things to wear and use around the home. Our interpretation? Making the best out of what's available to us on a daily basis. Re-using, up-cycling or re-cycling; working with local suppliers, artists & artisans wherever possible. The venue was transformed in 5 days on the site of the former Prom Music Bar with a shoe-string budget in March, 2012.
