Fulham Pier: Bars, Restaurants, Food Hall & Coffee
Fulham finally has a riverside worth lingering on. Fulham Pier opened up the Thames at Craven Cottage to everyone, not just match-goers, and it is the strongest pick here for a sunny-evening drink: bars and restaurants right on the water, Bishops Park behind you, and the river doing the rest. It is not a big strip, so this is a short, opinionated list of the places actually worth your time down there.
4 places · Curated by KnowFulham · Open status checked
The local tip: Check the official matchday closure calendar before heading down. The riverside tables are a good choice on a clear evening.
Opened in June 2025 as part of Fulham FC's Riverside Stand redevelopment. A riverside destination with the Riverside Market food hall, bars, public art and a programme of music, comedy, family activities and fitness classes. Current food-hall vendors include AMA by Brothers of Açaí, serving Brazilian açaí bowls, and Alphabet, a coffee and wine bar. Entry is free; individual vendors keep their own hours and the Pier closes on selected Fulham FC matchdays.
The local tip: The steak frites is a sure bet. Ask for a window table
Michelin-starred chef Adam Byatt's restaurant at Fulham Pier, formerly Brasserie Constance, serving modern British seasonal cooking with floor-to-ceiling Thames views and a terrace for al fresco dining. The menu changes with the seasons and tips its hat to the cookery writer Constance Spry, and the wine list runs to more than two hundred options. For all the pedigree there are no airs and graces (dogs welcome, no dress code), and it remains one of SW6's most exciting recent openings.
The local tip: The Prosecco bar downstairs is a nice touch. Good wine list
The riverside cocktail and wine bar at Fulham Pier, part of Adam Byatt's Constance (formerly Brasserie Constance). Floor-to-ceiling Thames views, a deep wine list curated by the Trinity sommelier team, and a concise cocktail menu. This is the most elevated drinking experience in Fulham right now, proper mixology with a river panorama. Small plates available. Closed on Fulham FC match days, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on your perspective.
Level 1, Fulham Pier, Stevenage Road, London SW6 6HH
The local tip: The riverside terrace on a summer evening is hard to beat
A proper riverside pub tucked away on Rainville Road with one of the best beer gardens in west London. The Crabtree sits right on the Thames and on a sunny day there's nowhere you'd rather be. The inside is classic pub territory: warm, wood-panelled, with a decent selection of ales. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon watching the river traffic, or a post-match pint after walking along from Craven Cottage.
Fulham Pier is the riverside development that grew up around Craven Cottage when Fulham FC finished the new Riverside Stand in 2025. It turned a stretch of Thames-side that used to be locked behind the stadium on non-match days into a proper public destination: a row of bars, restaurants and coffee with the river on one side and Bishops Park on the other. On a clear evening, with the sun going down over the water, it is one of the best spots in SW6 for a drink.
Best for a riverside drink
The draw here is the view, and the places that make the most of it are the ones to book. Brasserie Constance and its sibling bar Flo sit right on the water, and The Crabtree, a few minutes upriver in Bishops Park, has one of the best pub gardens on this stretch of the Thames. Come early on a sunny weekend; the terraces fill fast and the good tables go first.
At Riverside Market
The food hall includes AMA by Brothers of Açaí, a new stop for Brazilian açaí bowls, and Alphabet for coffee and wine. Each vendor keeps its own service times, so check the current Riverside Market listings before planning an early breakfast or late dinner.
