This hidden gem is a popular 2 bar community local just off Albert Road. The public bar has memorabilia related to Portsmouth & its footbal club and a table top Space Invaders machine. The lounge is adorned with photos of many celebrates who have appeared at the nearby Kings Theatre (including 3 Goons!). There is also a quirky patio garden which separates the bars from the snug, which is itself part of the former Dock End brewery.

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

Asset of Community Value

Rebuilt 1882. The public bar retains a very old possibly 100 year old two-sided mirrored bar back fitting and an old bar counter and there is some old dado panelling. The room was extended back a few feet into living quarters in the mid 1990s. The lounge on the right was original two (or three?) small rooms and has a bar counter which could date c.1960 and may have replaced a hatch. There is some more old dado panelling but a modern wood surround and cast fireplace. There is a separate games room which used to be part of the former Phoenix Brewery.
