Bristol Shopping Quarter Reviews Summary

Accessibility

Pros:

• "This is a dual shopping centre with good parking, public transport and in my case wheelchair accessible."
• "The Cabot Circus is new and trendy with the galleries providing an alternative less popular but the post office is located here."

Cons:

• "Can be very busy all the time, and parking can be a complete nightmare with only the galleries and Cabot, and then you have clean air zone."
• "Shopping center.OK but multiple road closures giving diversion after diversion on walk from train station make it a wait to 2023 to when it is walkable."

Shopping Variety

Pros:

• "There is a large selection of leading high street stores and the Cabot Shopping Centre again a large section of stores."
• "Can shop for branded stuff for expensive to affordable prices."
• "Nice shopping centre. Got everything you need. Lots of choices to find somewhere to eat."
• "Brilliant place to go for a day out or shopping!!! Nice variety of shops all around."
• "An entire neighborhood, I repeat neighborhood, has been renovated, modified, rebuilt in a commercial area."

Cons:

• "Bristol Cabbot Circus is amazing place. So many shops and restaurants to choose from you won’t go wrong."
• "With Debenhams and Marks closed at Broadmead it's abysmal. Now Wilkos is going it will be worse."
• "If you're a fan of dead malls, design straight out of the late 80's and things slowly falling apart this is the place for you."
• "Bristol shopping is a bit mixed. Many empty shops and big retailers are not well in the city centre."

Atmosphere and Environment

• "Bristol is a highly rated shopping destination (2nd in the country?) And it's not difficult to see why."
• "Great place to shop, plenty of food halls, which are not over priced, prices to suit all budgets."

Cons:

• "👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻literally dying a death as a shopping precinct and being overrun by Romanian homelessness."

Customer Experience

Pros:

• "This is a great place for shopping. The X'mas market was quite big but it does get very crowded."
• "So many shops & eateries and a good looking cinema within the shopping centre & big toy shop the entertainer."
• "Great shopping experience in the heart of Bristol, be careful with the parking if you’re on car."
• "From metro Bank to sports direct got approached 4 times by people "rasing awareness" and what ever else it's far to much I am autistic and have my hidden disability lanyard on."

Cons:

• "Cabot Circus is ok but Broadmead has gone downhill. With Debenhams and Marks closed at Broadmead it's abysmal."
• "It Would be nice if the security did their job and didn't just join in with the kids attacking members of staff."
• "I wanted a dvd I was going to go in HMV I try to support actual shops but ended up getting from Amazon Purley so I didn't have to go in to that area."
• "Decent range of shops on offer, though a few empty storefronts, and it's nice to be able to walk thru a covered area."
