A pub tucked away in a somewhat industrial area near the Itchen River that probably owes its continued existence to the proximity of Southampton FC's St Mary's Stadium just 500m away. The main bar is comfortably done out with bare wood floors, wainscotting, bar panelling, tables & chairs. A couple of sofas and photos of old Southampton add to the feel. The smaller bar has plenty of 'Saints' memorabilia and a pool table in the middle. 4 pool teams are supported along with darts & cribbage teams. The pub comes alive on football match days when it will open at 11am Saturdays or noon Sundays, and have 2 or 3 real ales on, one on handpump, the others on gravity (no real ale other days). Fans of all ages (home & away) are welcome; an enclosed courtyard provides a safe area for families.
June 2022: Now closed on Mondays unless there's an event at the stadium, likewise Sundays.
