The best pubs and restaurants in Bristol for al fresco dining These fantastic venues are reopening for outdoor service from April 12 Updated The outdoor terrace at Harbour House (Image: SWMAGS) We're only one month away from being able to eat out again and we're SO excited. Bristol is home to a wealth of fantastic restaurants but we haven't been able to visit them since December last year, when the city was briefly moved to Tier 2 coronavirus restrictions before re-entering Tier 3 and then lockdown. However, that will change on April 12 when hospitality is allowed to resume al fresco service as part of the Government's four-step roadmap.
