Lovely friendly place. On certain evenings live music.

Great Sunday afternoon music with The Dave Baker project

More like someone's frontroom than a pub. Great atmosphere is given a good vibe and live music.

Live music of the highest order, The Dave Boyd Experience, friendly welcome and service. An excellent afternoon and great Craic. Thank you Helen..

Possibly the smallest pub in pompey, but has one of the biggest welcomes, well served ales, always a good chat going on, it really is a proper backstreet gem
