What Taffyby likes about Battersea Barge Bistro:
We parked on the road and walked into the boat, down the stairs, and found ourselves inside. I sat down by a porthole and was strangely fascinated by the tide coming in and going out. The seating was comfortable, the atmosphere was good, and the food and service were very good. View all feedback. What B7687DLsarahk doesn't like about Battersea Barge Bistro:
Went to a friends birthday party and the sound didn’t work. The organizers had to hire in equipment at the last minute to save the day and the venue were clueless and unwilling to refund them for their mess. The staff were pretty unhelpful too and took ages to get served all night. View all feedback.

Nestled on the water, this quirky barge venue offers a unique experience, ideal for events ranging from birthday parties to intimate weddings. Guests have praised the fun atmosphere, diverse entertainment, and delicious food, particularly highlighting the comedy nights and quality pizzas. However, inconsistent service and unreliable sound systems have marred some occasions, leading to frustrating last-minute equipment hires. While the barge's charm is undeniable, issues with drink availability and planning have raised concerns among patrons. Be sure to visit before its six-month closure for renovations, as the vibrant ambiance and dedicated staff make it a memorable spot worth exploring.

Cool spot with an amazing view. If you're going for drinks, it's a good spot. But, there was no food last time.
