Opened in 1857, in the finance sector of the island's capital, this pub contains one large room. It has different sections, some with pictures of the law profession reflecting its proximity to the law courts. There are eight handpumps in two banks of four on separate sides of the bar. Guest ales change regularly. Wednesday is quiz night and occasionally real cider and perry are sold. A rear section is known as the "Library" and is full of bookshelves and a large screen TV, which is not always on, can make this area a quieter zone or function area for meetings.

Visitors be aware that closing times vary significantly on different weekday nights.

Accessibility is only via steps at the front door and there is internally a step to access different sections. There is however a disabled toilet at the rear area of the pub though wheelchair access to the pub is very difficult.
