Global company turns former Bavarian Beerhouse in Bristol into cool office space with bar

The Bavarian Beerhouse in Bristol has been transformed into funky offices for an international company.

Media agency Hybrid has spent nine months renovating the old bar, which shut down in 2017 only days before Oktoberfest.

The company's new global headquarters are on Queen Charlotte Street in the city centre and 50 members of staff are now based there.

Hybrid's owner James Craven bought up the beer house, which still has a bar on the ground floor of the building.

He said: "This was too good an opportunity to miss; we needed a proper headquarters for the team and as the European centre of operations, we had to have a media hub, a place where we could collaborate with businesses and institutions, but also keep our working practices adept."

Look at the offices they have created in the gallery below:

Hybrid also made sure that a number of the building's original features have been kept as part of the refurbishment, according to Business Live.

The new office space includes co-working zones, creative areas and a presentation arena.

Only local contractors were used for the project, including building company Lancer Scott, and it was overseen by Project 76.

James added: “Digital media is all about communication and collaboration: that's what creates huge benefits for our teams, and for the people that need to get their messages across."

Hybrid also has offices in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Sydney, Australia.

The company specialises in the education and technology markets, and has worked with the University of Bath, Dell, Oracle and IBM.
