A nautically themed pub, no doubt in honour of the nearby Clyde Naval Base where Britain's nuclear submarines come home to sleep. Judging by the haircuts and accents, it does considerable business from there, understandably as it is certainly much more pleasant than the MOD bars inside the forbidding perimeter fence (I know this because I used to work for them.) There is a small beer garden at the rear and impressive views of the Gareloch from the front, if you can get a window seat.
