About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
A solid matchday option if you want to catch other games before or after Pompey: the pub explicitly shows live sport on Sky, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime, and WhatPub lists Sports TV (Sky & BT Sport). It also serves food with published kitchen hours and menus, useful for lining up pre- or post-match. WhatPub notes it’s close to bus routes, making it an easy hop across the city on matchdays.

The best pub food we have had in the UK. We got back from America a few weeks ago, came to visit family and this food was on the same level. Service was great and the staff were lovely. Thank you.
Today I visited Portsmouth and happened to come across this bar, so I decided to step inside. I’m not someone who usually drinks alcohol, but today I went in for a drink. The bar has several separate rooms and a fairly large outdoor area. Inside the rooms, the walls are decorated with many photos, shirts, and memorabilia, most of them related to football, which gives the place a unique and lively atmosphere. The lady behind the bar was extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming, making the experience even better. Overall, this is a beautiful bar, and among all the pubs and bars I have visited in England, this has been the best and most beautiful one so far. Highly recommended.
Gem of a pub! Great food, lovely service.
Visited one Sunday afternoon for drinks. It's obviously run as a restaurant with diners given priority - you're stopped as soon as you come in and asked if you have a reservation. Reasonable priced beers and friendly staff - two stars for that alone. Don't come here expecting a pub atmosphere. Weekdays and evening may be different, but with all the dining tables taking over most of the pub. The food is rated very well, but this isn't a pub for drinkers. So not really a pub at all.
Great drinking pub, possibly a good Sunday roast pub, but steak was absolutely awful. The steak pictured was a re-cooked attempt at med-rare! It was hungry horse quality for a premium price tag!!! Plenty of good steak restaurants for a very similar price in Southsea! Took about 30 mins for replacement steak, was still over cooked, and my friend had finished her meal. A round of drinks were comped but it wasn't a good experience and I wouldn't eat there again. Good for drinks and a fabulous beer garden but that's all I'd go there for
