A long-established bar in Midsomer Norton has been put on the market for around £395,000 which could result in potential changes to the venue.
The Riverside Bar, a well-known establishment located in a prime town centre spot beside the River Somer, first opened its doors in 2000 and has since become a central fixture of Midsomer Norton’s High Street.
Restyled in 2017, the bar has long been a cornerstone of the town’s social scene, offering a welcoming ground-floor bar area and a first-floor function room, complete with a skittle alley.
Over the years, it has served as a popular venue for social gatherings, private events, and local sports teams. The first-floor function room, which includes a skittle alley, has been a particular draw for community events.
The ground floor consists of an open-plan bar area seating around 36 guests, featuring brick pillars, a log-burning stove, and a mix of slate, wood, and carpeted flooring. Refurbished in 2017, it includes a bar servery, catering kitchen, utility and freezer rooms, a refrigerated beer cellar, and customer toilets.
The first floor includes a skittle alley and function room with a beamed ceiling, seating over 50 guests, along with a service area. There are also office and storage spaces, a shower room, and a WC, with potential for conversion into accommodation, subject to planning permission.
Midsomer Norton is 10 miles from Bath, Wells, and Frome, and 16 miles southeast of Bristol. The town has become increasingly popular with commuters, thanks to its easy access to the A37 and A39 roads.
