This tiny cornerhouse is a fine example of the kind of pub that once proliferated in this part of Portsmouth. A stones-throw from HM Naval Base and the city centre, the pub has become known worldwide due to its naval connections and is a frequent meeting place for members of the Type 42 Association (the body dedicated to all those who have served on a Royal Navy Type 42 destroyer). The bar is traditionally furnished and has much maritime memorabilia displayed on its walls, including a collection of Royal Navy ships' badges. Nowadays, clientele is mostly drawn from the local area, though it is not uncommon to find yourself rubbing shoulders with former navy personnel from far and wide!

Designed and built in 1887 by architect A H Bone for Brickwoods Brewery, it is typical of the dozens of street corner locals that could once be found in this part of the city. Today it is a rare surviving example - Not listed - known as Ruby's, after the late landlady who ran the Standard for many years - Has lost its internal divisions - had a small private bar at front left and possibly a room at the rear. The bar counter is old as is the top part of the bar back, but old bottom half with drawers replaced recently. Not now enough for RI (MS06) Agreed - not enough for RI. (CW 5/2012)
