The core of this pub is Georgian, and contains three small bars (Victory, Trafalgar and Poop Deck) and some original beams; these bars may be hired for functions. The fourth bar (Aft) was added around 2010, and is the only room in which children are permitted. The garden, with hanging baskets, an anchor and a propeller, is an excellent location from which to observe the world's oldest working pier railway. Entertainment includes sport on five televisions, and live music on Friday or Saturday. Food is not served Friday to Sunday evenings.

Listed status: II
This must-visit pub is close to the wonderful 1922 electric railway on the pier to the Southampton ferry. It seems little altered in the last hundred years with three rooms, all with probably Victorian or early twentieth-century fittings plus a space for off-sales. A corridor (sadly with grim modern flooring) leads back from the front entrance. On the left is the ‘Trafalgar Bar’ which is entered through a pair of double doors; on the right is the ‘Victory Bar’. Both have their old bar counters. A little further back on the left there is the off-sales area (with half-height door-cum-htach) and adjacent to this a delightful small, screened snug, now named the ‘Poop Deck’ A rear extension was added in about 1990 but it impacts little on the historic core: it was further extended in 2006 to create an even larger room with views over the Solent and its shipping.
