Wild Beer's Bristol bar has permanently closed after the owners and developers of Wapping Wharf took over the premises. Umberslade said it did its "very best to support the team" during financial difficulties but it "had to draw a line".
The West Country brewery was one of the first independent operators to join the Wapping Wharf neighbourhood in 2016 when the area was first earmarked for redevelopment. The future of the Gaol Ferry Steps taproom was then plunged into doubt after Wild Beer fell into administration in December last year.
Wild Beer is one of several businesses to close at the development over the past few months but Wapping Wharf's owners are currently in the process of negotiating with several businesses to take over the empty Cargo units. They also said they have a number of different operators enquiring to take over the empty bar premises.
