About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Listed in away-fan guides among Ipswich pubs known for real ale, and CAMRA notes it may open earlier for home football matches. CAMRA also states there’s TV for sports events, so you can catch match build-up or results on screen. It’s in the town centre and around 0.7 miles from Ipswich station, making it a practical pre/post-match stop for supporters arriving by train. The range of rotating cask beers (often including its own-brewed) is highlighted in guides, which appeals to matchday groups looking for choice close to Portman Road.

Great place for a good pint! Excellent value. If you are easily offended leftie then this place is not for you. Barman was full of jokes. Ipswich fans were very friendly. Great decor too!
Just popped in this qwerty little pub as we were staying around the corner....looks all gothic inside...spit and sawdust pub, but Ioved it.
Lovely people serving delicious beers of all nature. Breathtaking views of behinds behind the bar and frontal views also. An electrician often turns his hands to help serve beers and offer priceless advice on condition and characteristics of ales & the like. (This establishment has sole ownership of all their jokes: and All quotations or vocal broadcast of any such material shall be governed by their statutory rights of ownership unless agreement be met prior to closing time on the same day.) Quirky,quaint and quite quantifying quality all round. Your round!
Well what can I say I've never been to Ipswich before so this was a first. Was looking for local alternative places to try out. We wasn't disappointed the bar staff were super friendly, great quality and prices for drinks. Local DJ night was loads of fun from classic rock to black metal was very varied to meet everybody's preferences. Also got to meet the owner too who was really accommodating and friendly. The place is super quirky and if we're ever in the area again we'll definitely be returning.
Brilliant pub, great choices of beers and entertaining landlord. Anyone who likes ales must visit this pub. Nice and cosy.
