This pub’s namesake is one that is known throughout the world. The bachelor detective’s life revolved around areas next to and around this pub that was once known at the Northumberland Hotel. Originally a small lodging house, it has done just that in housing patrons and quirky detectives alike throughout the many years of its operation. Although refurbished and restored, one can still stop and try to hear the distant cry of a Baskerville hound while sipping their dram, or catch a glimpse of the cunning Holmes and Watson dashing through the door in a fleeting attempt to unmask the villain of their last great caper.
