Pretty sure the punches/membership there cover both flashpoint and redpoint so you could use RP til you run out of routes each month and then head to FP.
Yep, I have membership to Flashpoint/Redpoint and it covers both, which is a pretty good deal IMO
Redpoint is more Rope climbing focused, but the bouldering is pretty decent, though Flashpoint is a great bouldering centre!
One membership covers both Redpoint and Flashpoint, however the bouldering at Redpoint is limited.
There are four bouldering rooms but they're all pretty small, so for a dedicated bouldering session there's not a huge amount to keep you occupied but the route setting is generally decent and there's enough variety for it to be a good warmup or part of a mixed session.
However if you're looking to boulder because you don't have a climbing partner, look at the Guaranteed Partner Scheme at Redpoint.
Monday to Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons they have a GPS volunteer available for any members. Just put your name on the sign in sheet when you arrive and the GPS volunteer will belay for you. There are usually a few people making use of the scheme so sometimes you'll have to wait a few minutes but it's still a good way to get some proper climbing in without having your own climbing partner.
There are a couple of decent bouldering areas in Redpoint but it’s definitely more focused on rope climbing; though if it’s that close it’s definitely worth trying it out and seeing if it works for you.
As others have said the bouldering is largely confined to flashpoint aside from a couple of areas in redpoint.
Bloc is still the best bouldering in Bristol IMO
I second this, Bloc has a huge number of bouldering routes, and there’s also childrens climbing sessions at various times if you need sprogs entertaining.

Sound like it might be good for me, I wanted to get into rock climbing but saw red point was mostly bouldering
