The Steam Crane

Why we love it

The Steam Crane Alehouse and Kitchen is named after the Bristol historic Fairbairn Steam Crane, which is the world’s only surviving example. The building has a great history, with illustrious stories of courthouses, hangings and tigers. Now under the wing of Stephen Wallace, the Steam Crane has enjoyed an impressive renovation – of both the space, but also the alcohol lists and the seasonal menus. Be prepared for eye-catching​ interior design, carefully chosen art on the walls and more than a few candles and chandeliers – where steampunk meets faded grandeur.
