Update Closed 2014

Re-opened October 2016 as an LGBT commuity pub

The South Star was rebuilt by Lacons in 1953 after the original pub suffered bomb damage. It is built of brick in a classic Art Deco style and the former off license shop on the left has been converted to flats. After a refurbishment in 2002 it changed its name to the Quayside Tavern and is a basic drinkers pub. However the rear room now housing a pool table is barely altered. It retains the original counter with two (of three original) South (star symbol) Lacon's mirrored panels on the left and a display case on the right and the bar back features distinct 1950s ribbed glass panels. There is a wonderful Lacon's tiled fireplace featuring lines of cask and Lacons's falcon tiles down each side and the dado panelling looks 1950s. The front bar has been modernised and opened-up but the curved counter on the right looks original with a screen of 1950s glass blocks on the right of it.
