This harbourside pub is tucked down a side street and through an archway, and overlooks the small harbour of Custom House Quay. There are two bars, the smaller Shipwrights' Bar one side of the arch, and the Main Bar the other. The latter is spacious on split levels, with a rectangular near-island bar counter, and numerous distinct drinking areas. Subdued lighting, wooden floors, much maritime and other local bric-a-brac and a collection of ships' wheels in the ceiling add to the historic atmosphere of this old pub, long a favourite with visiting sailors of all nations. The secondary Shipwrights' Bar (formerly a separate pub) opens in summer and on special occasions. Food is available all day; there is a childrens' menu and families are welcome. Alfresco drinking is on the quay outside.
