The Grain Barge started life as an engine less barge that used to be towed across the Severn Estuary from Bristol to Cardiff with its cargoes of barley & wheat. Built in 1936 by the Charles Hill shipyard, it is now moored opposite its original berth in Hotwells next to Brunel's SS Great Britain.
The Bristol Beer Factory bought and refitted the barge in early 2007. In keeping with its industrial heritage and the company's belief in reusing materials wherever possible, much of the structure within the vessel has been crafted using predominantly reclaimed and recycled materials.
The Grain Barge has two bars. The main harbor-side lounge and dining area is light & airy, with the upper 'al fresco' deck boasting a 270 degree view of the harbor. The "Hold Bar" function room provides a venue for live music and can be hired for private parties any day of the week except Fridays.
