The Nightjar was situated at 1-2 Fulham Houses. This was a modern pub in the revamped Basingstoke town centre of the late 1960s. It was demolished c1987 in a subsequent wave of development. At some point in its life it was called the Goat and Barge, or stood on the site of a pub called the Goat & Barge, and this in turn was named after two demolished pubs, one called the Goat and one called the Barge.
