The Watershed has three cinema screens and a great café / bar with some great food. it’s one of Bristol’s cultural gems 💎 as the leading film culture and digital media centre in the South West.

Much to recommend the Watershed, not least the most reliable, free and easy-to-access WiFi of any arts centre I have been to. And a great range of beers in the bar.

What every city needs, a good independent cinema with a nice restaurant & bar with free wifi! Grab a beer and see a good movie anytime at Watershed. They also have a nice loyalty scheme.

buy a pint or half pint of W-PA , it's The Watershed's exclusive and limited edition #realale brewed by @BathAles . Get it now before it run's out, and if it has, please request for more to be made!

It has 3 cinemas screening mainly art house films, a lively Café/Bar which serves delicious, locally sourced food and is a great place to meet friends or use the free wifi.

Funky free wifi, great food, indie cinema and dynamic event space with great views! Not great on parking but excellent for public transport and the environment!

Great independent and foreign films as expected, enjoy the fantastic smells of cooking from the cafe, comfy-loungesque movie experience and the reflecting river Frome on entry/exit.

If you get chunky chips consider getting the chilli jam - it's vegan & utterly delicious.
