New pub from Bristol Beer Factory opens in Wapping Wharf
Every neighbourhood needs a good local pub and that’s what Junction hopes it can bring to Wapping Wharf.
The beer selection here is dominated by Junction owners Bristol Beer Factory but there are currently other beers available on tap from other Bristol breweries including Arbor, Lost & Grounded, Moor and Wiper & True.
‘Half-pint plates’, ‘pint-sized plates’ and ‘proper pub grub’ are among the food menu here, with options including sourdough bread from nearby Mokoko, deep-fried mac and cheese, and chips and curry sauce.

Bristol Beer Factory bosses say that Junction is “a pocket of Bristol Beer Factory in the city centre – expect a proper pub with great beer, classic pub grub and roasts on Sundays.
“Championing fellow independent producers through food suppliers, guest Bristol beers, and other locally produced drinks, we are a destination for everyone, from those popping by for lunch, an after-work beer, or somewhere to enjoy a drink by the harbourside.”
