Will Larter left this review about The Puncheon Inn
Situated in an alley next to the rum museum, this is one of the roughest pubs I've been in. No real ale, of course. Conversation was all violence and misogyny, liberally interspersed with f-words. My half of Guinness was pretty decent, once I'd got over the dual shock of a freezing cold beer, and a very reasonable £4.20/pint.

Bit off the beaten track, good selection of Jennings beers, sort of friendly staff. Odd mix of locals and visitors. Worth trying

A pub full of real characters. Good selection of beers, some odd locals might put you off, but worth a visit
