A fairly ordinary seaside pub, laid out as described by MM below. No real ale was available, just four empty pumps with clips reversed. Next to that was a standard bank of 8 keg taps, nothing worth mentioning. We found the young male bar staff rather indolent, and the atmosphere was less than convivial. There were several people sitting in the outside area, though to call it a beer garden would be overstating it. I might try it again when they’ve got some ale on, and when I have time to walk around the harbour.

The pub is formed of a pair of sizeable buildings which have been linked together by a modern conservatory style structure to form a meandering floor plan. Part of the current pub is now utilising the former offices of the now closed Devenish Brewery whose main buildings are nearby to the rear. There are beamed ceilings (some probably genuine, others probably not), a mix of flooring including flagstones and some fine Georgian windows. The main bar and extensive outdoor terrace have good views of the harbour and the lifting bridge further along. Décor involves framed local and maritime scenes however a pair of interesting old ships' charts are unfortunately situated on a bulkhead over a door/screen and hence are easily missed.
Now run by one of the offshoots of GK, the selection had GKIPA, Doom Bar, Dorset Piddle with Abbot and Landlord being reversed. Being Weymouth there must surely be some cider but I failed to spot it if so.
The place naturally caters for the tourist, the racks of large laminated menus and table condiments attest to this, we were in early with a good number eating breakfasts including unusually I thought, one consisting of steak and fried eggs.
It does what it has set out to do and fortunately the pub is large enough to cater for the large crowds it will surely attract in season. As often the case, pubs will be different places at different times.
