Grade II* listed, former Malting buildings including a splendid historical kiln. The two bars are on separate levels (one above other) with a large enclosed courtyard to the side. Increasingly popular as the dock area is being rejuvenated with new housing and university.
Most of the building dates from the late 18th/early 19th century, though some parts are older. The pub was greatly extended in early 2009. The company also owns Briarbank Brewery in the old bank building on Fore Street.
Card only payments I.e. no cash is taken at the bar.

Conversion
This Grade II*-listed site is a former brewery maltings including a splendid historical kiln, originally opened as a pub by Tolly Cobbold. It is named after Isaac Lord, a local businessman who bought the waterfront site from the brewing family in 1900 and whose business interests included corn and coal. The buildings date from early 15C to late 18C, reflecting the site's commercial and industrial use over four centuries. This interesting conversion of an interesting building has created several bars on different levels with a courtyard to the side. The design is stylish, thoughtful and contemporary resulting in a location that has something for everyone. It is open from early morning until late serving meals and real ale.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 1 regular beer.
