About this place Queenshilling

Queenshilling, at 9 Frogmore Street, is Bristol's longest-running LGBTQ+ nightclub and has been going since the early 1990s. Its own site lists karaoke on Mondays (doors 21:00, singing from 22:00) and club nights on Fridays and Saturdays with doors at 22:00. Eat Sleep Drag Repeat (ESDR) is its regular drag night, and it won at the 2025 Shout Out Awards. The crowd is mixed and less student-heavy than OMG's, a few doors up the street. Google rates it 4.0 from about 130 reviews. Check its Instagram (@queenshilling) for the weekend line-up.

Visited Frigay night with some friends from London. Great venue with friendly door staff and reasonably priced drinks.

The Queenshilling is a second home for the Bristol Bisons RFC! Andy is always incredible at facilitating us, even at really short notice. They go above and beyond to make sure we have a great time and our supporters love them too. Highly recommend for a fun, inclusive, and safe night out!
