Details

Hand-cut triple cooked chips with a distinctive Mahon Mayo await at The Port Mahon, an 18th-century pub with a history stretching back to 1710. This Grade II-listed establishment, recently refurbished, offers a cosy and vibrant atmosphere with its dark, moody interiors, preserved wooden beams, and plump leather banquettes. Visitors can enjoy a range of drinks, including local ales, a good selection of wines and spirits, and even the pub's own 'Mahon Gin'. The pubby menu extends beyond snacks to include hearty mains like beer-battered Cornish cod, homemade pies, and a popular Sunday roast that has been lauded as one of the best. With its welcoming feel, it's a popular spot for both locals and those exploring St Clement's Street.

Beyond the satisfying food and drink, The Port Mahon is known for its lively calendar of events. Regular quizzes and meal deals make it a popular midweek destination, while a variety of live music performances, including folk sessions and gigs from local bands, often feature. The pub boasts a unique layout with a main room up a few steps from the street and a lower dining area, both served by the bar. For warmer days, there's a beautifully decked and well-covered beer garden, providing a perfect spot to relax. Whether you're seeking a traditional pub experience, a venue with regular entertainment, or simply a delicious meal, The Port Mahon offers a characterful and engaging option.
