Historic city centre building looking for new lease of life
15 Small Street gained infamy in 2017 when a 400-year-old Jacobean ceiling was demolished the day before an inspection by heritage officers was due to take place.
For many clubbers, it will bring back memories from when it was Native. In recent years, the building opposite Bristol Crown Court has been Hall Pass and before that the Big Chill Bar.
It is now on the market to let with no published price.

“The property comprises the ground floor and basement of a substantial end terrace property providing extensive trading areas,” says the Fleurets listing.
“There are numerous original features including the large vaulted basement which provides potential for further trade areas.”
