WELCOME ONBOARD
The Bar at Temple is a beautiful 1911 sailing barge that has been lovingly converted into a bar and kitchen and is now permanently moored at Temple Pier on the Victoria Embankment opposite Temple underground station in Central London.
Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Thames as it flows through Central London from the comfort of The Bar at Temple, either out on the main sundeck, at the helm, inside the upper deck bar area or downstairs in the comfort of the lower saloon. Inside areas are heated/ airconditioned depending on the weather.
We are open to the public for drinks and food, and also offer bottomless brunches as well as private hire of some or all of the vessel should you wish. We look forward to welcoming you onboard soon.

We hired the bottom area for a Hen Party! We had the most amazing time. Everything was so easy from beginning to end. From booking with Carlie to then organising with Will and his team on the boat. The team on the boat were great and really embraced 25 noisy hens. Would recommend! Thank youPosted on Google![]()

Fantastic spot for team drinks after work! Great views, a relaxed atmosphere, delicious pizzas, and a reserved space that worked perfectly for our group. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating throughout. The whole team loved it – we'll definitely be back! 🍕🍹🌇Posted on Google![]()

Very nice experience - went there for my birthday and they accomodated us in a semi-private part of the boat which was great to enjoy the vibe in. Drinks are in line with central london prices Kitchen was already closed when we tried to order - snacks options were decent, nothing out this world but alright Wish they stayed open a bit longer but overall very nice vibe
