The Radnor Hotel: Bristol's gay safe haven of the 20th century


By Lowie Trevena, Friday Feb 12, 2021
At a time when homosexuality was still outlawed, a dimly lit, smoky pub on St Nicholas Street was a haven for LGBTQ+ people in Bristol and the surrounding areas.
The Radnor Hotel welcomed everyone from drag artist Danny La Rue and actor Anton Walbrook to airmen from Filton and teens from Weston-super-Mare.
The eclectic pub opened in around 1925 and ran until the 1970s, and was definitely an LGBTQ+ space from the 1940s onwards.
