Leans into the bohemian and alternative Kemp Town themes. Been around for years. Ok selection of drinks, but other establishments down the road might be more adventurous. Definitely a summer food, as has a nice space out back. Maybe not cosy enough in the winter

As a venue, it's great. Good-looking proper pub, fantastic big beer garden out the back, and it puts on some great nights. HOWEVER, service leaves a lot to be desired, especially if they're busy. The staff come across rude and disrespectful. Whiskey drinkers - be aware, if you do not specify the brand of whiskey you would like, they will automatically serve you Jack Daniels. Not a nice mix with ginger ale.
