Cricket-themed bar to increase capacity

By Milan Perera  Wednesday Feb 19, 2025

After its opening in October, a cricket-themed bar in Bristol has added another net to accommodate the growing demand for its cricket offerings.

It might not be cricket season yet, but come rain or shine, Sixes bar offers cricket enthusiasts and those who are merely curious about the game an experience combining a pint and pull in their indoor nets.

The tech-enabled cricket nets with a live scoreboard welcome players of all abilities, from complete beginners to seasoned pros.

During its opening in October, the facility was graced by Gloucestershire Cricket aces Ben Charlesworth, David Payne and former player Stu Whittingham who tried their hands at the new cricket-based phenomenon.

Suitable for ages five and up, the venue caters to families, groups of friends, corporate events and serious cricket enthusiasts alike.

With the ability to adjust the bowling speed, players can face any bowler, from ambling military medium to searing pace.

With the addition of a fourth net, Sixes on Bordeaux Quay above Coyote Ugly now has the capacity to host up to 140 people at one time and can be used for private hire.

Adam Devine, co-owner of Sixes Bristol, said: “In a city like Bristol, with such a strong cricket heritage, we had no doubt that the brand would go down well, but we didn’t expect such a warm welcome from the city.”

“Experience and themed bars have grown in popularity recently, as they offer guests an alternative night out that doesn’t just revolve around alcohol. Sixes is for everyone, and we also welcome children in our venue, which means the whole family can get involved.”

The group of bars, with facilities around the country, hopes to lead Bristol’s experience-led entertainment and bar scene with fresh offerings.

During the February half-term, Sixes is offering a Kids Eat Free deal, where children can enjoy a meal for free with a paying adult.

Additionally, students can take advantage of discounts on cricket nets and food and drink offers every Sunday after 5pm while rugby fans can watch all the Six Nations action live at the venue.
