Clifton Hardware bristol

Love this place. A relaxed atmosphere with very knowledgeable and helpful staff. No question too great or small, you will get an answer.

Our High Streets have changed with wine bars, charity shops and branches of the big coffee chains replacing traditional stores. So when you come across a window crammed with hardware goods from a previous era you may feel you’ve entered a time warp. No need to pinch yourself. The items have been placed there deliberately – an aspect of the owners’ dry sense of humour. Inside you’ll find all the usual household goods and DIY essentials from the basic to the bang-up-to-date. And, in the unlikely event of their not having what you want, they’ll order it for you. Yet there is one old-fashioned element that’s for real – helpful service and expert advice given in an unhurried and professional manner. Time to give the online sites and out-of-town outlets a miss and make the most of an independent store we’re lucky enough to have on our doorstep.

Small but full of wonderful things and probably everything you need in terms of hardware

Rang before I went to ask if they had what I needed, they took the time to look for it, so I didn't waste my time. When I went, staff was very friendly.

Old fashioned hardware shop staffed by friendly, helpful locals. A great example of what makes Bristol so special.

Very helpful service and stock’s everything you need

Excellent shop has everything you need and is like stepping back in time

Love this place because although a tiny shop you will always find what you are looking for,and friendly staff.

A brilliant shop, which sells a huge range of hardware at decent prices. Always happy to give advice and never over-sell.

What an Aladdin's cave of hardware treasures, but don't tell the owner, as he has heard it enough. a proper old time hardware store, people had warned me the owner was very grumpy , but this was not at all the case, seemed very friendly and helpful , great price on key cutting. I will be back for more bits and pieces . P.s. no four candle jokes.
