Opened in 2004 in two former retail premises, this large pub is a popular venue for students. The decor is basic, with much bare wood evident throughout. The rear of the pub houses a dedicated games area, where pool tables, pinball and table football can be found. DJs perform at weekends and occasional live music is hosted.

Information for this venue is provided by the Portsmouth & South East Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
