St. Ives, Cornwall. dates back to 1312 with the current building constructed in the 17th or 18th century. Situated on the harbour front, separated from the sea by a cobbled forecourt and a small lane, its history has been intertwined with the fishing and maritime life of St. Ives (and pirates!). And of course it claims to have a resident ghost. It gained prominence as a gathering place for Victorian artists, including Louis Grier, whose paintings were displayed here. The building is made of granite rubble with a tarred plinth and a slate roof. The tiny interior features a small bar and low beamed ceilings. There is a spacious outdoor seating with views of the seafront. I had two beers from St. Ives Brewery - The Sloop Inn 1312 Amber Ale and Meor IPA.
