El Rincon

El Rincón is a Spanish tapas bar at 298 North Street in Southville, Bristol (BS3 1JU), with regular live music. Bristol24/7's A–Z pub crawl and Dishcult's guide to cosy Bristol bars describe live music downstairs, from folk and jazz to flamenco, with language lessons upstairs and poetry, chess and backgammon nights.

The bar doesn't take reservations, according to Dishcult, so you just turn up. Its menu is a short list of tapas, and Secret Bristol has written about its paella. Past listings include Cuban jazz evenings raising money for the Music Fund for Cuba and a sherry night with live flamenco fusion.

Some sources place it in Southville and others in Bedminster. The jazz and music nights we have listed at El Rincón, from Headfirst Bristol, appear below, soonest first, with links to each listing.
