A one room pub with time honoured button back seating in dark green, with matching bar stools, complementing the dark wood interior. Very good use is made of the space to accommodate a number of customers without feeling crowded. The unfussy décor with clean lines combined with the traditional make the Thirsty Pigeon popular with frequenters of wine bars and traditional drinkers alike, as does the management style of a friendly welcome and good manners. Now no longer, the pub was the first on the island at one point to accept Bitcoin. The pub is a huge supporter of live music, with bands featuring Friday and Saturday evenings. Unusually, in this former bank, the casks are lowered into the cellar vaults via an internal lift mechanism, visible in the corner of the pub (see photo).
