Reopened in November 2022 after an extensive internal refurbishment. With its magnificent eponymous ursine statue, this pub dates back to 1752, when it was a coaching inn for those looking to trade from the docks at the bottom of St Michael’s Hill. Upstairs there is a small performance space, seating about fifty. There are regular comedy nights, movie showings, charity fundraisers and even lectures/talks. Downstairs there is a comfortable lounge at the back and more traditional area at the front. Music is a feature in the evenings.
