This moored barge was built in 1936 and converted into a floating pub by Bristol Beer Factory in 2007. 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 top open top deck of the boat, but recently additional seating has been added on the pavement next to the boat. Food nights include Taco Tuesday, mussels on Thursday, fish on Friday and Sunday roasts; pescatarian menu available. Other activities include a Monday night quiz, a Thursday Open Mic night once a month and live music some other evenings. Accepts payment by card only.
