The Gala Bristol Harbourside is a fine casino with a good poker history.  I think they used to play the Gala Tour Grand Final there, might be wrong.

We"ve got a good crop of APAT players from Bristol and surrounding area, I"m sure one of them will be able to give you a more up to date opinion.

This. It"s pretty much the only place to play in Bristol that is a cardroom/casino. The Bristol and SW Meetup group organise home games as well. You could drive over to Cardiff if you wanted a different casino though.
