More information has been revealed about a new restaurant and bar opening in Bristol which is set to become one of the city's 'most exciting new social hotspots'.
Bocabar, based at the Paintworks off Bath Road, is launching a second site at Finzels Reach this autumn, offering a hub for drinking, dining and socialising.
Its owners say the inside will have an eclectic feel combining a vintage and rustic look with a dash of luxury, meaning customers can expect velvet drapes in the doorways, vintage lamps and reclaimed wood and copper features.
There will also be a part-covered outside seating area with 70 seats, accessed through doors from the main restaurant and bar.
In terms of food the new venue will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, including a menu of 25 different stone-baked pizzas, gourmet burgers, sharing mezze plates and daily specials focusing on small, local suppliers and seasonal ingredients.
To wash it all down thee will be cocktails, specialist gins, local craft beers and wines, with the bar aiming to offer something for everyone.
Bocabar, which will be open seven days a week, will be based on the ground floor of the Fermentation Buildings, underneath Channel 4, which is opening its new creative base in the city before Christmas.
It will open onto Hawkins Lane, the new walkway that runs through the heart of Finzels Reach, connecting to Castle Park and the city centre via Castle Bridge.
Melissa Eavis said: "We're so excited to be on site now at Finzels Reach getting everything ready for our opening this autumn.
"Our chefs are going to be working together to create something really special for our new venue, combining the 'best bits' of our Paintworks and Glastonbury restaurants to develop a truly unique menu.
"For us, it's all about focusing on high quality produce and local suppliers, and we can't wait to welcome people to our new venture very soon."
