Fino Lounge
Loungers was founded in 2002 by a trio of longstanding friends.
Having spent years working in the restaurant and bar trade, not to mention just about as much time propping up the bars of Bristol and far beyond (all in the name of research of course), these happy-go-lucky chaps decided it was time to do their own thing.
Our motivation was simple and very selfish; we wanted somewhere decent to drink ourselves. We weren’t too fussed about serving food (that was the happiest of accidents as it turns out) we just wanted something quite small where we could hang out & which Dave would run.
An empty optician’s on North Street, Bedminster seemed to fit the bill. It had the necessary planning consent, was just about big enough and was in reasonable condition. The ‘shell’ included an area earmarked as a kitchen & included kitchen extraction so we accepted that we’d be doing a bit of food and after a few months of sort-of-not-knowing-what-we-were-doing Lounge opened on Tuesday 29th August 2002.
We liked it a lot and, so it seemed, did lots of other people. We pondered about whether we should look to do another one, maybe on Gloucester Rd and in what was an absurdly short space of time we opened our 2nd Lounge (called Tinto) & we’ve been busy spreading the Loungers love ever since…
Fino Lounge Review By Andrew C.: Cardiff, United Kingdom
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Egg and Bacon Stack, people! There is no finer thing ever invented or to be invented. You see it's egg, and it's bacon, and it's in some kind of tasty stack.
This lounge is a great place to come for a long and lazy brunch. There are plenty of free newspapers to grab on your way in and they have board games like Scrabble, Jenga and Rummikub. It's a really relaxed atmosphere in the Fino Lounge where the staff are friendly and the food is really good. It's not super cheap, but nor is it too pricey, I suppose that would make it some kind of a goldilocks price range.
You could easily give over a whole Sunday to that place by grabbing your brunch and then playing a load of Jenga to build up your appetite for dinner. I know this to be true.
Top Tip: For parking take the first left after the lounge and there's a big free car park behind it.
