History

The Establishment - Coventry - interior
The interior of the bar, showing the preserved aspects of the courthouse.

The Hall was opened in 1783 when it was used as a county court.

The courts moved to their current site on Much Park Street in 1988 and the building lay empty until it was bought for use as a bar in 2000. The interior was redesigned although aspects of the courthouse such as the judge's chair and public gallery were left untouched.
