AMD advises on the purchase of The Pump House

October 2025

Our Corporate & Commercial Property teams led by Grant McCall and Melanie Harrison were delighted to advise Bristol Beer Factory on its acquisition of the iconic Harbourside pub, The Pump House.

The Pump House is added to the Bristol Beer Factory stable which includes the Arnolfini Harbourside café-bar, North Street Tap Room & Studio, The Barley Mow and Junction.

Taking advantage of their location on a walking route between the city centre and Ashton Gate, the new-look Pump House will be putting on an outdoor bar during Bristol City and Bristol Bears home matches. Bristol Beer Factory Head of Operations has said “The aim is to create a ‘fan village’ style atmosphere in the bar’s outdoor area, with the water of the Harbourside providing a stunning backdrop”.

Like AMD, Bristol Beer Factory is proudly an independent Bristol business. The brewery always voice how they truly care about their products from lager, IPAs and Stouts. You can read more on their story, core values, locations and purchase their products here.

Grant McCall, AMD Director, commented: “We were absolutely delighted to assist Bristol Beer Factory on securing this landmark venue. We have no doubt The Pump House will be a welcome addition to the collective and exciting news for the city.  We are looking forward to calling in for a beer when next seeing the Bears!”
