The Hole in the wall pub is believed to be the inspiration for the Spyglass Tavern in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island where Long John Silver meets Jim Hawkins. the hole in the wall inn aptly fits the description in the novel.

Situated along the quayside, with an entrance onto two different streets, the pub even has it's own spy-hole (hole in the wall) feature that was originally used by a lockout in the 18th Century to warn sailors drinking inside of any Press Gangs.

The pub sits just of leafy Queen Square and has lovely views across the Harbourside to Pirate Captain Blackbeard's alleged birthplace and childhood home in Redcliffe.
