Dating back to 1711, and under this name since 1900, this single-room bar reflects the street corner aspect with an L-shaped bar decorated with naval memorabilia. A rare place to find a good pint of Bass makes it worth seeking out. Both the city's Anglican cathedral and the Garrison Church (the oldest in the country) are a short walk away. It is home to a darts team and hosts live music at weekends and occasionally during the week.

Historic Interest

Under its formar name of the Little Blue Line it featured in novels by Captain Marryat. It is on the route of Lord Nelson's last walk on his way to join HMS Victory to sail to Trafalgar.
