Spin Bar becomes latest business to open at Harbour Inlet
Several Bristol cafes have bicycles on their walls, but none have quite so many bikes as The Spin Bar.
In a corner of the Harbour Inlet opposite the SS Great Britain, The Spin Bar’s unique selling point is more than a dozen bikes that you can take part in a spin class on before enjoying the food and drink on offer in the cafe.

The Spin Bar co-owner Gavin Brown is an experienced fitness instructor who has opened this business with his childhood friend Steve Bye.
“I have always wanted to open a spin studio,” said Gavin. “It’s a great workout, both one of the easiest and one of the hardest, and a very social exercise.”
Gavin and Steve hope that The Spin Bar can be more than just a gym and more than just a cafe, with the pair wanting to attract both local residents and local office workers.
Spin classes cost £10 and can be booked via an app.

Among the food and drink selections are smoothies, bagels, salads and ciabattas, with customers also able to order food from next door Spoke & Stringer and eat it in The Spin Bar.
“It’s like theatre,” Steve explained talking about when a spin class takes place. “It’s like seeing a chef in the kitchen. Most people do enjoy seeing the different stuff going on.”
