Flow

Descripción

A three storey Grade II listed property on the Frome Bridge built during the Georgian era, under which flows the River Frome. The terrace to the rear of the ground floor bar provides a secluded spot where customers can enjoy a drink whilst watching the river below. The first floor bar also has a bar counter and is used during normal trading hours or hired out as a venue for celebrations or private parties. An office, a room with a fitted kitchen (currently used as a store room) are located on the second floor. The freeholders brought the property c. 4 years ago and completed a high specification refurbishment and re-design of the building, converting it from a restaurant to a bar and cocktail lounge. The bar has won numerous awards, including the Bath Life Best Bar Award, and the Muddy Stilettoes Best Bar Award.

Ubicación

Frome has a rich heritage as one of the county's busiest market towns, which is a tradition that continues to this day, with three markets still held every week. Amongst the well-preserved architecture and cobbled streets there is a vibrant arts scene with galleries, theatres, and music venues dotted around the town which is also home to an ever growing number of creative industries, with a mixture of cutting edge tech companies and media agencies rubbing shoulders with small scale artisan businesses and workshops. Located circa 30 minutes from Bath in east Somerset and on the edge of the Mendip Hills, the town is a popular tourist destination and has won accolades as a place to live and a place to visit from the Times and Time Out respectively.
