With its split levels, two bars, huge beer garden, Bag End Burgers and the very best live music entertainment there is something for all. Popular with students, and like-minded locals, the atmosphere simply oozes from the bare brick walls every night as the pub fills to capacity.

The bars open from 4pm until 3am Monday to Friday and from 12 noon until 3am Saturday and 4pm until 2am Sunday, with musical entertainment every night of the week.

Free Entry before 10pm £2.50 after (£1.50 with Loyalty Card). Last Entry 1am.

We host; international, national and local bands and have major music festivals running throughout the year including our Ale and Blues festival, Ska and Cider festival as well as Messtival for those of you who like your music a little rougher round the edges. Or come down and chill out to out Open Mic Night and if you have talent bring it!

Crazy theme nights run monthly; Pirates, Zombies, 70’s and 80’s School Disco Nights, Gangsters and Molls and Sci Fi Nights.

Happy Hour runs through until 8pm daily and there are special offers all night, every night. Being so close to the University at Highfield the student population of Southampton seems to find our pub a welcoming home to take their minds off their studies for a while and to socialise at.
Please excuse the staff though – they are not quite normal !!!
