Bristol's iconic Glassboat restaurant looks to have finally been sold after being vacant for over a year. The boat, marketed with property consultants Burston Cook, was previously under offer before being relisted in January.
In July 2022, Bristol Live reported that the price of the Glassboat had been slashed by around £100,000 after failing to find a buyer. The restaurant was thought to be priced at around £750,000, which included the barge, all company assets, fixtures, fittings and mooring licence, which was listed as being around £11,200 though that was before recent changes announced for harbour fees.
The floating restaurant moored in Welsh Back was first put on the market in early 2022 after its owner of 36 years, Arne Ringner, said: "It's now time to put the dancing shoes on the shelf." Signage outside now states that it is 'sold STC [subject to contract]', though it is not yet clear who the buyer is.
