This Pub is Closed Long Term

An old pub, ex-Bass Charrington, M&B until sold in 2010 to Faucet Inns. For 40 years, the ground floor has been a centre of the drag scene, with late-night opening and entertainments every night. However the Shufflewick Bar on the first floor operates as a pub, serving one real ale, with a nice roof terrace at the back.

Due to reopen December 2024 see here for more details.
