A public house has stood on this site since the mid-19th century. The current building dates from the mid 1960s after being blitzed in 1941. It is a traditional pub set in Southside Street in he Barbican area of the city, which tends to attract older customers. Up to regular four live beers are usually available. Timothy Taylor Landlord makes a welcome appearance in the South West, alongside three regional ales. The walls are adorned with pictures of monarchs, mostly queens obviously. Live music is regularly played.
