Boathouse

Reopened on 14 February 2020 having closed on 5 January 2020 for extensive refurbishment. This description will be updated as soon as possible. Opened 2004 on newly accessible stretch of the riverside to the east of Putney Bridge and replacing the Castle, demolished the previous year. The Boathouse occupies three floors in the historic red brick Isherwood Building (once a vinegar brewery), complete with a cupola and clock and with a glass fronted extension overlooking the river. A vibrant bar/restaurant attracting a young clientele sadly preferring Magners and the heavily promoted keg lagers and bottled beers despite the efforts of keen young managers to improve draught beer sales. Big screens for rugby and cricket.
