Yeah, it looks authentic enough -- well, authentic to a guy whose knowledge of English pubs is strictly second-hand -- but it’s an authentic pub filled with people you don’t want to hang around, extraordinarily smoky (why am I not surprised that you can still smoke in NH bars) and the beer selection leaves a LOT to be desired. Of course there is nothing on cask; the only drinkable pints when I visited were Fullers (ESB? don’t remember) and Hoegaarden which was actually fairly nice. I guess if you get bored of the Portsmouth BC you might want to pop over but otherwise forget it.

Friendly environment, and though I didnt try the food, it looked good enough. Worth a stop in if you have some extra time in Portsmouth.
