This Pub is Closed Long Term

Closed at the end of trade, 26/02/2015. Pub freehold up for sale, and shortly after (20/04/2015) sold to St Mary's Supermarket Ltd. Nothing happened until February 2022 when the roof was removed. No planning permission had been sought.

The Bent Brief described itself as 'Southampton's most dedicated free live music venue'. The other pub on Lodge Road used to have a complementing legally-themed name - the Honest Lawyer - before it was renamed.
