Gamer Dating in Bristol

Bristol is a creative city with an independent streak, home to animation studios, a busy indie games scene and a lot of people who make things for a living. Gamer dating in Bristol tends to mean meeting someone who plays, and possibly makes, the games you love.

Date ideas in Bristol

A walk across the Clifton Suspension Bridge and up to the Observatory, a board game café on Gloucester Road, or an evening on the Harbourside. In summer the Harbourside is full of food stalls and somewhere to sit by the water.

A Bristol tip

Bristol members are spread out, from Clifton to the eastern suburbs and across the river into the valleys and Bath. Set your distance to cover the bus and train routes you would use, and Bath and Weston will come into range too.

Around Bristol

Bristol members live in Bedminster, Easton, Clifton, Redland and Southville as well as the centre, and out in Keynsham, Portishead and Filton. Bath is fifteen minutes by train, and Weston-super-Mare and Cardiff are both within an hour, so the South West and South Wales open up quickly if you widen your distance.

A little over four in ten of our Bristol members are 25 to 34, with the rest spread fairly evenly across younger and older groups. It is a city where people settle after university, and the age mix shows it.

Players and makers

Bristol has a high share of people who make things: animators, illustrators, developers, musicians. If you make games as well as play them, put that in your bio, and a game jam or a developer meet-up is an easy, low-pressure way to see someone again after a first date. If you simply play, that is plenty: the city's pubs, cafés and parks make good places for a first meeting.
