Acquired by Antic in mid 2013, renamed and reopened with up to ten real ales, twelve keg beers and two real ciders on the bar. The kitchen specialised in fresh fish. Entertainment ranged from DJs to bands but all with a definite vintage flavour. Originally a 1997 shop conversion opened as the Eclipse by Regent Inns, acquired by Wizard Inns who changed its name to Blithe Spirit in 2003. Part of Urban Pubs & Bars portfolio from autumn 2024. Beer range had reduced since Covid and now only two handpumps remain on the main bar.
