The first Wetherspoon pub in Wales in 1995 brought about the transformation of a former night club into a very successful rendezvous for its daytime crowd, including shoppers and commuters. It's also a popular meeting place in the evenings for those wishing to sample the local night life. The interior is spacious with a variety of seating, some handily placed to watch the news or sports channels on TV. Attractive modern artwork shares wall space with pictures of Newport's past history and personalities associated with the city. It is named after WWII hero John Wallace aka 'Tubby' Linton VC, DSO, DSC, RN, commander of HM Submarine Turbulent that sunk over 90,000 tons of enemy shipping before the boat itself was sunk with all hands at 09:00 on 12 March 1943. Commander Linton was awarded a posthumous VC in May 1943. There is a corner of the pub near the front dedicated to those who served on Turbulent and a plaque listing the names of those who lost their lives.
