Nightclub announces immediate closure
A nightclub in Clifton which has been a popular haunt for students and reality TV celebrity guests has announced its closure.
The management team behind Gravity nightclub said it was a “challenging decision” and blamed “economic strains” for the club’s closure with immediate effect on Wednesday.
In a statement on the nightclub’s Instagram, they said: “To our dedicated fans, both old and new, we bring forth some challenging news today.
“The nightlife landscape has faced unparalleled obstacles in recent years, and Gravity nightclub in Bristol has been no exception.
“The economic strains affecting us all, especially the younger demographics and the student community, have deeply influenced our operations.
“Coupled with the increasing expenses tied to wages, regulatory fees, and the overarching costs inherent to the hospitality world, we’ve encountered a tough situation.
“Despite our best efforts to establish a vibrant clubbing venue where cherished memories are forged among friends, the landlord has elected to repurpose the premises. Consequently, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Gravity nightclub.
“We want to extend our deepest gratitude to every single person who has walked through our doors and the remarkable team members whose efforts propelled Gravity to be a landmark in Bristol’s night scene since our opening on Saturday, April 29, 2017.”
Gravity nightclub opened in 2017 on Clifton Triangle at the site formerly home to Bunker and Analog.
The club was known for its foam parties, BED Mondays, silent discos and special guests like Made in Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Alex Mitton.
