Cosy inn with exposed beams and log-burning fires, situated over the ring road from the city walls and bus station, and a minute's walk from St Augustine's Abbey. The pub is open all day, serving three changing real ales and fifty gins. Dating back to 1796, it was originally a carpentry house, hence its name. It is now the last of seven pubs which would have graced this terraced lane in the 1900s. Ivy Lane also contains some historic houses.
