– Exhibition: David Bailey – Spivs & Spods
We’ve given over our space to David Bailey – a man whose work you’ll have certainly seen if you’ve been in any of our bars over the past few years, and whose content you’ll have enjoyed on our social media channels since forever – who has furnished both our downstairs bar area with some of his illustrations.
Entitled Spivs & Spods, it captures the spirit of being in a beer house – or, rather, of being in Port Street Beer House – as well as the emptiness that has been left without these spaces in our lives. Or, as the artist himself puts it:
Love (for pubs) in the time of various lockdowns. Rapid nostalgia for things we took for granted five minutes ago. Sitting in a pub, alone, or with friends. Drinking whatever you want. A celebration of still moments not sat in your house.
You can see David’s work at Port Street now, and the exhibition will be showing all summer long at the very least. Drink it in.

– Drinking at Port Street this April
We’re back open from April 12th, with our outside seating being the only place to sample Port Street Beer House for the time being. As regular will know, our outdoor section is super exclusive (i.e. fairly limited), so we’ve got 10 tables in action for the time being. A few out front, a couple more out back (including our much loved barrels), with table service throughout via the Common & Co app.
Due to the limited space, we’re operating a strict no bookings policy – meaning we’ll be dealing with walk-ups only. This means that anyone who wants to drink should be able to (though it may mean a short wait at peak times), and allows us to serve the maximum amount of people without having to turf drinkers out because their slot is over. Worse, you won’t have to stare at empty tables and not be allowed in because someone’s got that area booked in half an hour’s time.
