A Taste OF Bristol

Gert Lush Drinks At Lounge

Championing our hometown heroes

Lounge started in 2002 in the cosy suburb of Bristol called Bedminster. We have always loved to champion our hometown, with 3 sites opening in the Bristol area in 2025, and our flagship site, Ritorno Lounge, sitting pretty on Bristol Harbourside.

Bristol is home to so many amazing food and drink companies, and we’ve decided to champion a few local heroes with our A Taste of Bristol drinks menu, now live in a number of our Bristol sites and around the country.

From already popular brands such as Wiper and True and Branch to a series of spirits by Bristol Distilling Co., we’ve got great local tastes available to enjoy right now.

A kaleidoscope of flavour

Wiper & True

Wiper & True have been officially brewing great beers in Bristol since 2015, and its founders were homebrewers long before that! Since then, their beers have taken Bristol by storm, with countless venues stocking their rapidly evolving selection of beers.

They also champion beautiful beer that reduces their impact on the planet, using cutting-edge technology to capture carbon dioxide during beer production and recycling it to other places in their brewing and packaging process.

We’re happy to stock one of their fan-favourite pints, Kaleidoscope, in our Lounges. Combining Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic hops, this pale ale is vibrant, clean and has an irresistible hit of citrus. And it’s vegan-friendly!

Get into the spirit!

Bristol Distilling Co,

Bristol Distilling Co. are a fan favourite in our Lounges, with a varied selection of gin, vodka, agave, rum, cocktails, and liqueurs brewed in South Bristol. They are focused on delivering a varied range of series, improving on the classics and innovating brand new flavours.

We’re highlighting three stand-out spirits made in Bristol. First up, Hank’s Spiced Rum fuses vanilla, orange, caramel, clove and much more in a deliciously balanced golden rum. Distilled in their copper pot still, their Triple B Pure Distilled Vodka is the perfect base for any drink.

Finally, we have their El Capitan Agave Spirit. This tipple is distilled in Tequila, Mexico (yep, that’s the town’s real name) and bottled in Bristol!

Welcome to cider country!

Branch

Most of the world knows one fact about Bristol… we love a cider! Branch are cider makers with an orchard just over the Avon Gorge, crafting big, flavourful ciders. It all started when their founders went wandering in the winter of 2020 and found a severely neglected apple orchard, and they made it their mission to bring these local apples to our watering holes.

They have a great selection of beers, but we’re stocking their Bristol Blend. It’s made from bittersweet dessert apples to bring forward a tangy, tasty and refreshing apple flavour.
