Illusions Magic Bar, Bristol

Who said sitting in a bar could be boring? Well this place offers mind boggling magicians, live music and "magic wands" anything but boring in my opinion. The classic order for any 1st timer at this venue is the meter high magic wand cocktail tower. It may be tricky to carry and they do ask for a deposit but it really is a lot of fun and games! Also after a few drinks the magicians seem to be doing even more impossible stunts leaving you feeling a little bit bewildered but wanting more. This is a real classic of Bristol even if the venue is on the small side it delivers none the less!

What bizarre reviews! This is an awesome bar, can't believe it's only got 2 stars! It's a pretty small place, with a cocktail bar and a magic bar, so nobody thrusting magic in your face but if you want to (which you obviously should) then you can go and sit up there and watch the magician who is AWESOME. I love magic!

The "magic wand" multiple-pint cocktail receptacle is also pretty awesome and you can get some great deals on drinks.

A must-visit!

If you’re in here, try one of their special tube based cocktails which comes with its own minitap. They look amazing, aren’t that expensive in comparison and mean that you don’t have to run to the crowded bar so often. And as the name implies, the table magician is also worth watching, if you’re not too busy listening to the baby grand in the corner that is…. worth getting in as this place is quite small and fills up quite quickly!

A decent location and drinks selection. However the piano player tends to play too loud and ruin songs. However the magicians are impressive.
