There are very few pubs near Bristol city centre where food is of equal weight to the beer, but at last, there’s a new venue doing both. Wapping Wharf is blessed with dozens of great food and drink choices, but it had been missing its flagship pub site during the springtime, with a familiar face moving into the neighbourhood at the end of May.
Junction is the latest venue from Bristol Beer Factory who took over the contract from Wild Beer when the landlord of Wapping Wharf took back control of the premises after six years. It’s the brewery’s fifth venue to date and promised to be a “destination for all” when it made the takeover announcement earlier in the year.
The team took just two months to move into the building. The space itself has never really felt like a traditional pub - more so a taproom - a glass-fronted building looking down to the harbour with clusters of tables and armchairs that still manage to make it feel welcoming.
