From 2017 until March 2022 a pub in the small chain of City Pub Company 'Brew Houses' with an on-site 6 barrel brewing plant supplying most of the beers. It is a smart refurbishment of the former 'Varsity' pub with a split level ground floor and a spacious mezzanine all tastefully decorated in what could be called rustic industrial style. The main bar has 7 handpumps (3 supplying Brew House beers), and 7 'craft' fonts on the wall behind. Two of the handpumps have cider clips but are not actually used as both ciders are 'bag in box'. There are 2 video games machines as well as pool & table football tables. For busy times the mezzanine has its own bar with 3 handpumps. A prominently positioned gas-fired pizza oven on the ground floor provides sustenance up until 10pm. Popular with football fans pre-and post-match at St Mary's Stadium, LRBH also shows live sport across the pubs screens.

Ownership changed hands in March 2022 and while brewing is expected to resume it has yet to do so. In the meantime two guests should be available but not guaranteed.
