Our Flagship Lounge

Ritorno Lounge

Ritorno Lounge is a venue we’re really proud of. Based in a stunning location on Bristol Harbourside, and only a stone’s throw from Loungers HQ, we love being part of the action in the middle of our thriving home city. We may be big and in the middle of a city, but we’re still your home-from-home, offering delicious food and drinks, all day, on your doorstep.

Whether you’re after a morning coffee, brunch or cocktails in the evening, we have a unique atmosphere that changes hour by hour, so swing by any time of day.

Take a trip upstairs and find The Caraboo Room, our private hire space perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, meeting room hire and corporate events.

Home From Home

Ritorno Lounge is your home-from-home, situated on Bristol’s iconic Harbourside. Come on in for our signature delicious food and drink.

In Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker, the key character claims he must ‘return to Sidcup’. It seemed fitting to honour that + our roots in Bristol. Return in Italian is ritorno, and thus Ritorno Lounge was born.

Opening Times

Sunday - Thursday 9am - 11pm
Friday - Saturday 9am - 12am
