Grain Barge in Bristol

Ah, Grain Barge – what a gem of a spot down by the harbour in Bristol! I've got to say, it's one of those places that really sticks in your mind because of its unique setting on a boat, where you can soak up those breathtaking views of the water while tucking into some fresh, seasonal grub. The food's a highlight for me; think mouthwatering fish and chips or mussels that are spot on, paired with a solid range of local beers that go down a treat. And the atmosphere? It's just lovely – relaxed, with friendly staff who make you feel right at ease, plus fun events like open mic nights or quizzes that keep things lively. It's perfect for a casual meet-up or even hiring out for your own do. But, let's be honest, it's not all smooth sailing; the bathrooms can be a bit poky and not as clean as you'd hope, and sometimes the general tidiness could use a bit more attention, which might leave you wishing for a quick tidy-up. Still, with such a high rating from folks who've been there, it's clear the good bits far outweigh the niggles, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're after a memorable pub experience in Bristol.
