Drinks, music and a ‘brilliant’ showcase of Bristol’s culinary scene

By Karen Johnson  Thursday May 28, 2026

The EatDrink24/7 launch party will be held in the large beer garden at Wiper and True’s taproom near Old Market.

The event in July will see exclusive collaborations between some of Bristol’s best hospitality names as they unite to celebrate the eighth edition of EatDrink24/7.

“The EatDrink24/7 guide is such a positive celebration of Bristol’s independent food and drink scene”, said Michael Wiper, founder of Wiper and True and one of the panellists for the 2026 edition of the guide. “It’s great to be involved in something that genuinely champions the people and businesses that make this city special.”

All attendees will be treated to one free beer, specially brewed for the event in collaboration with Wiper and True for the event. A non-alcoholic alternative will also be available for those who wish to enjoy the evening sober.

Talking about hosting the celebration at their brewery and taproom site, Michael added: “We’re really excited to be hosting the launch party at our taproom. Bringing people together over great food, drink and conversation is a huge part of what we care about at Wiper and True, so it feels like the perfect setting to celebrate!”

The launch party on July 8 will see food collaborations between beloved Wapping Wharf neighbours BOX-E & Squeezed and certified Bristol favourites Danny’s Burgers & Big Nath’s.

Michael said the guide itself was a “brilliant showcase” of the creativity and diversity in Bristol’s hospitality scene.

He added: “Bristol24/7 has done an incredible job highlighting the independents that give the city its character, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
