Waterside pub situated, since 1811, where the Bristol Docks meet the Avon Gorge. The single bar serves a small lounge area, a more basic strip by the bar, and the 'Captain's Room' behind a Victorian screen. Upstairs is a function room. There are a number of tables situated outside on the waterfront that catch the afternoon sun. The pub features in the CAMRA Heritage Pubs of the South-West book.

The pub was taken over by new licencee in June 2024; currently no food is available while the kitchen is being refurbished
