With a name like that you’d be right in expecting the river to be involved in some way, but your jaw might still hit the floor when you step out into this mammoth beer garden. The Boater is one of the most popular summertime spots in the city, with a stunner garden overlooking the Avon and more than enough choice behind the bar to keep things interesting. The pub food is more than decent as well. Another great showing from the good people at Fuller’s .
