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

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.
I always visit this Ale house when in Ipswich. The bar staff are friendly and talkative, and there are some good ales to have a go at, including a £2.50 football match day ale. When inside the Tavern it feels as if you are being transported back in time, with its old wooden floorboards and dimly lit flickering candle lights. A must visit tavern whilst in Ipswich.
An eclectic, entertaining, wallet friendly experience in a pub that looks like it's been there centuries .
Many events, dog friendly, home fan friendly, arts and crafts for sale at venue as well.
A home from home for me for at least a decade
The "Pirate pub" imagine walking into a scene from Treasure island or Pirates of the Caribbean thats St Judes .its an experiance but beware the terrible christmas cracker jokes the landlord will inflict on unwary strangers 🤣
Best pub in ipswich by a long shot. Atmosphere is great. The bar has got that traditional boozer vibe and it pulls it off perfectly. The prices are un matched. They brew some of their own alcohol so anything from the barrel supports them directly and every drop is delicious everytime. The owner is what makes this pub the place the visit. The funniest most charismatic pub landlord in the Suffolk peninsula 10/10 keep up the great work guys. Me and my freinds have since become regulars wouldn't feel comfortable spending my hard earned cash anywhere else!
Brilliant pub, great choices of beers and entertaining landlord. Anyone who likes ales must visit this pub. Nice and cosy.

Every time I go in this wonderful quirky pub I just love it more. Wonderful friendly atmosphere, interesting people to always chat with, excellent selection of real ales on tap, it is like a bigger version of The Nutshell in Bury. Dog friendly. Certainly a must if you are in Ipswich go and enjoy a pint or two !!!
Great night, great atmosphere, landlord is very lovely. Good selection of drinks.
Went in to catch up with a friend. Staff and owner both very welcoming and great characters. Great selection of beer and bar snacks and a unique and quirky Decor - especially the smoking area!
Great place,staff were brilliant
This is a proper spit and sawdust drinkers pub. Great selection of real ales. Does a good deal for Ipswich Town fans offering a pie and pint on a match day for £5
Look out for the taxidermy bat's on the walls. Lots of interest on the walls to view.
Am a regular there for Dungeons and Dragons nights with some mates. Always friendly, excellent bar staff and lovely atmosphere. Dog friendly (if you're reading this, bring your husky so we can pet it!)
Always wanted to walk in, having walked past on the way to town. Great atmosphere and selection of local ales
Fab range of beers all served in a lovely old building crammed with personality- as is the jovial landlord. He also brews a lovely pint of Amber ale.
Visiting from Derby, I had an hour to kill. I wish I'd had a week to spare. The staff are great, beer fabulous and English traditional, no juke box, no pool table, a wide selection of old and fascinating books on wooden shelves.
I could go on for ages about a blissful hour I spent here.
You know when you go to a pub that's just right for a drunk night...
Uncompromisingly excellent beer, service and company.
