In the summer of 2019, rumour abounded that another micropub was to open in the old Nat West bank in Goring Road - just a few doors along from the ever-popular Georgi Fin.

It would appear the gossip was true - It's going to be called The Elephant In The Room and is the work of Nathan Wright, the man behind the Goose on the seafront and the Libertine bar in Portland Road.

Sadly, the Elephant in the Room spring opening had to be cancelled due to the lockdown. Hopefully, this time will be put to good use, and we look forward to seeing it completed by mid-summer onward.

Despite the delay that prevented the opening, and of course, no customers that would have been able to visit anyway, they did eventually open their doors at last.

I made a point to arrive just as it was opening so I could get some clear shots of the inside. I was pleased to see that they have several beers on the go and rotate them to include local brews when possible.
