See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

This moored barge was built in 1936 and converted into a floating pub by the Bristol Beer Factory. It boasts great views of the SS Great Britain, the floating harbour and passing boats. There is seating with wooden tables at either end of the central bar, and an extended shelf by the window overlooking the water. The garden area is actually the open top deck of the boat, with additional seating on land, on the pavement next to the boat. Food nights include taco Tuesday, pint and a pie Wednesday, Mussels on Thursday, Fish on Friday and Sunday roasts. A sustainable seafood and greens menu is available. Other activities include a Monday night quiz, an Open Mic night every other Wednesday and live music some other evenings. Payment by card only.
