A Grade II corner pub of 1865 on Commercial Street: one tall, light Victorian room with high ceilings and big windows, eccentric decoration, and a cocktail bar upstairs. You come for the room. Ten Bells is two minutes south.

Order This
A pint downstairs, under the ceiling — that is the point of the place. The upstairs bar is for cocktails once the evening turns.
Best Time
Weekday early evening, when daylight still comes through the big windows and the room reads as built. Fridays and Saturdays are DJ nights.
Know Before You Go
Run by Urban Pubs & Bars since its refurbishment, so expect a group cocktail list and menu rather than a free house; the building is the reason to go, not the beer list. DJ nights Fridays and Saturdays. Pair it with Ten Bells for the tiles.
