The pub was built in 1931 for the Kemp Town Brewery and retains many striking features. The refurbished saloon bar on the right has an original counter, elegant cupola ceiling, a fine brick and stone Tudor-style fireplace, half-height panelling and fixed seating.

The garden is spacious, child and dog-friendly, and includes a covered smoking area. Sunday is quiz night. Food served in the evening. Live sport shown.
