Lively town centre pub handy for a quick pint whilst waiting for a train. The atmosphere was friendly when I went in, no music on at the time but that's obviously the crowd they're aiming at. There were some strange people in, but everyone seemed happy. The pint of RIngwood I sampled wasn't best kept but was drinkable nonetheless.

Not my first choice of pub in Winchester, but I wouldn't mind going back.

Very much a music venue, the beers are well kept but not great, slightly above average price for the area. On the ale side regional brewers rather than the industrial giants who supply this pub the same old range of kegs plus San Mig. Basic decor, lots of posters for forthcoming bands etc, big pool table and a balcony bar available for hire.

I like this pub. Superbly situtated by the station. Music venue if thats your kind of things. Otherwise can watch the music videos that are going on. The Ringwood beer is not really to my taste. However there are other good beers or ciders which can be chosen. 10/10 for my money.

Dissapointed;
was told it was THE live music venue in Winchester (possibly the only one left?)
Sadly it was very small, and the 'venue' section even smaller, which is why it was very intimidating and squashed; we saw several fraca's and fights which didnt help.
The music was OK, but the clientelle were looking for trouble...
Beer was ok, food absolute rubbish -fried fat everything ..shame.

This is a pub that is largely aimed at Winchester's students, but is no worse for it. The big draw here is the music room out the back, which has hosted a number of top brands (largely before they were famous).

Pleasantly surprising selection of real ales, some of which you won't find anywhere else in the city.
