A large back street local with 2 bars and a sizable heated patio garden. The lounge bar is decorated with film memorabilia going back to the comedians of the silent era and the most famous of all fictional detectives, Sherlock Holmes. The bar back is somewhat unusual, having glass instead of mirrors, allowing you to watch a game of darts in the public bar from the comfort of the lounge.

Please note that thh footbridge from Goldsmith Avenue to Fratton station is closed for major repairs. Access to the station is now via the road bridge, which involves an additional 420m walk.

Information for this venue is provided by the Portsmouth & South East Hampshire Branch of CAMRA
